Resident Evil 4 (2005) - Not Launching & Black Screen Fix

By 24flamesdupont

Resident Evil 4 (2005) does not support screen refresh rates greater than 60 Hz. This leads to some issues which we are going to simply fix by installing a mod.

Please note that there are various solutions to fix it such as changing the refresh rate with OS settings or with an additional program without installing any mod. You might not want to use such things since you have to change the screen refresh rate manually whenever you want to play the game and this might be tricky or might not even work for you, did not work for me at least.

Hi, this doesn't work for me. I know the whole installation process of re4 tweaks and i'm familiar with the mod. In fact i've played with this mod until i had to buy anew hdd, and reinstall re4. From that point the game doesn't launch no matter what i do
