If the fix mentioned in my video doesn’t work for you, try installing the resident evil 4 HD mod alongside the 4gb patch tool. Just search “resident evil 4 HD mod” on Google and use the first link that appears make sure to follow the instructions thoroughly. The mod itself has a ton of fixes that usually fix this issue if my method doesn’t work.
Bro i cannot thank you enough. I bought and beat re8 as my first RE game and loved it, i went to buy RE4 and play it since i knew it was similar, but it literally would not work for me. This fixed it completely, thanks a bunch man
This fix completely fixed the game for me. It even starts in fullscreen even though i have it disabled in the config. Alt tabbing doesn't crash it at all. Thanks! The game worked perfectly fine for me in Linux with my 144hz display but that was probably because Linux used DXVK natively to render games in Vulkan in stead of DirectX.
Dude i just want to say THANK YOU I followed this video and copy and pasting those 2 files was the fix for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. I was searching for hours for a fix to this problem.
PLEASE make sure, if youre using the Dxvk fix, use the 32bit version of the dx9 files. x86 (64bit) will not work because re4 is a 32bit game. I made the mistake of using x86 the first time lol
I seriously can't thank you enough. I got through a playthrough of this game while in windowed mode and I couldn't change it to full screen without the resolution being terrible. This not only lets me play the game in fullscreen but it actually works now cause I was having that glitch where it would boot up with a whitescreen. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! This is literally my favorite game of all time. You made me week man, seriously can't thank you enough
Thank you so much for this info! I've been wanting to play that new HD mod that just came out and I'm glad I get get this game to run finally on my monitor.
Thanks brother, copying the two files solved my problem without having to modify anything. I was already getting desperate, I tried everything and nothing, I was going to ask for a refund when I came across your video. Thank you brother.
The game won't start and I'm feeling frustrated. By referring to the linked video, I was able to launch it from the Steam Launcher in a disappointing way. I can now hear the nostalgic music from when I made contact with the arms dealer, but no video of the game is displayed from beginning to end, and it remains dark. Since the sound effect was heard, it seemed that the pad input was being reflected. My PC environment is a laptop, but unlike the video, there were only two options for changing the refresh rate. Does anyone have a link to a video that explains more detailed monitor settings?
You beauty, this works for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus... I upgrade my pc to 3070 and the game was on slow motion, this is the only tutorial works.
Thank you so much. The only way I've been able to play is if I hooked up my laptop to a TV. I'm gonna set up the stuff for the HD mod and it's gonna look so much better and without hassle thanks to you.
Hey, thanks for the tutorial! I just got the game and found out about this issue. With this fix, the game starts at least, but it's stuck in a small black window. The audio works and I can hear the menu being selected, but it's all black...
Sorry for the very late reply, search on Google “resident evil 4 HD mod” the first link that pops download and follow the instructions for installation, it should fix your issue as it has built in fixes alongside the HD mod itself.
basically no matter what resolution or whatever, just dont play in FS mode or youll crash the game instantly. Capcom needs to go back and fix that, or can it and release a new and improved RE4
my installation, no matter how many reinstalls i do, doesnt have a config file, but adding those two *missing* files did help make it not crash instantly and instead give me sound of the game, which has never happened before, so now where would config be
I downloaded the game from Steam, and I also downloaded the Arrange mode and the HD Project mode, and when I run the game, a big word “prees start” and “Loading” appears, and the game exits automatically? What is the solution?
After copy pasting those two files the game began working for me, however there's no picture. I'm sure that doing what you said in the second part of the video would help me but I can't find the RE4 config anywhere. The only option left for me is to download that mode which is something I really don't want to do.
If this doesnt work try github.com/nipkownix/re4_tweaks/releases and move files dinput8.ini and dinput8.dll into RE4 Bin34 - this method worked for me when this didnt
Yo thanks for the vid adding those files help me fix my daughter game. I was lost at the second part in the config but it is work and I can't thank you enough 🙏🏻
I have a 144hz monitor and the game doesnt have any issues for me... weird. I only found this because I was actually looking for a way to run the game at 144hz ha. Sadly it's capped at 60fps
Excuse me i have laptop and i tryed every thing it doesn't let me enter the game i launch the game but it doesn't start abd don't say anything plese help
Followed every step, Itll start in a small window but its all black screen. i can hear the sound effect of the menu but no picture. Also my refresh rate settings only go down to 75..
U are a life savior dude, but i have 1 question. Can dxvk get u banned on steam because that is only what helped me to see the game because the game starts minimized and i can only hear the game and i am locked from using mouse and keyboard and need to restart pc? I just copied d3d9 dlll and game works again.
Bro thank you!! The notepad setting thing seems to at least helps me to be able to open the game now without it immediately crashing. But now the game just appears on a small window and it's only sound without display whatsoever, how can I fix this? Also, for some reason there's no Bin32 folder in my PC? so I can't do the copy paste file thing. And one last thing is I can't change my monitor refresh rate since it's stuck to this 160-something for some reason. Sorry for bad English btw but can you help me with these please 🙏
I had to put some extension in resident evil 5 to get that to work. I could have sworn this game working fine on my pc months ago. Tonight. It just starts and goes to desktop but I can hear he game
I tried this method and every possible solution out there on the net and nothing works, game start for a 2 seconds with white screen and shuts down with no error message.
everything just work for me, but 1 problem came is the screen goes black, the game open but the screen goes black but i can hear the sound of the game. how to fix this please
I have a question regarding something specific about Resident Evil 4 here. So there's this weird screen tearing issue, it's not like the kind of screen tearing that involves V-Sync or anything like that, but a different kind of screen tearing that effects everything whenever the character or something is moving. It looks like oddly shaped blocks. A little smaller than the size of these letters I'm typing right now and it's like dark grayish/black. The only way to explain it is if I show you a screenshot of it. Is there any way to fix that?
I was able to get access to this game after following your steps but the screen went black without a reason. Can you at least give us a tutorial video about the solution to the black screen? Thanks
i tried the patches and a bunch of other stuff. im exhausted, im just gonna play on an old playstation 2. i just dont understand how come so many old games have so many hidden steps to play after you buy on steam
Does anybody elses game crash when you are in that camera room. A bit before the regenerators. Where you can hear ashley screaming. Because my game just keeps crashing there.
Many people are saying that the black screen issue for RE4 has been fixed in the recent update. Would be great if someone can confirm it. I have a 60hz laptop so I wouldn't know.
hi man,just a quick question :I just bought this game,but the FOV seems bit weird,and its bit hard to play on PC with mouse .Can you show me how to fix it ? thanks a lot
I just started having this problem recently. Thankfully this video solved it and I can play the game again however I can’t change the configuration in game without it crashing like you said and I still get a black screen when I try to stream it to my smartphone via Steam Link. But the game works on my PC once again which is all that matters.
I can open the game but black screen and I just heard voice only. I plays in my laptop Asus GL503GE. but if i connect to my tv it work, i can see both visual dan voice. iIwont play this game in family shared tv T_T. pls help
Man i have an aoc monitor 165 hz and i tried every single thing your guide is very decent but still for me doesnt work.I installed hd project too and still same the only thing it does is to flicker go to some smaller resolution and then nothing throw me back to desktop at 1920x1080 165 hz.There isnt folder to edit the configuration settings since it doesnt load at all.I tried to take the path you showed where the files should be and created 3 folders my self created a txt coppied your values and changed the txt onto ini it became configuration setting file but still the freaking game doesnt load.I dont know what else should i do xD

To think so many times passed since re4hd launched and this problem is still left unsolved by capcom...
Capcom is just lazy, I hate when a developer ports a video game on PC with a bad port and doesn’t fix it, it makes me so very disappointed
Can confirm this method worked for me. Bought the RE games during the Halloween sale and was not able to play RE 4. Thanks again.
PLEASE make sure, if youre using the Dxvk fix, use the 32bit version of the dx9 files. x86 (64bit) will not work because re4 is a 32bit game.

Turns out this is a driver issue with AMD cards. RE4 no longer works on AMD cards without applying this fix.
