Resident Evil 4 (2005) - capcomjapan_marketing

Windows🄬 XP, Windows Vista🄬 and Windows🄬 7 operating systems (OS) users: Microsoft has ended support for these OSes, so Capcom will also remove them from the list of supported OSes for this title as of April 24, 2022.

resident evil 4 Update Version 1.0.6 Now Available

Resident Evil 4 (2005) - wbacon [capcom]

New Features:

Added specular highlight and bump mapping effects
Implemented stereo/positional audio for in-game sound effects
Added controller vibration for machine guns and automatic pistols (TMP, Chicago Typewriter and Matilda)
Added a 4th color filter option in the graphics setting menu which slightly reduces the overall 'warm' color effect (Red and Green toned down on the RGB scale)
"Anisotropy" setting can now be saved when altered in the config.ini file. Valid settings are "0" "2" "4" "8" "16" without the quotation mark. Smaller value will result in blurrier textures, but this may help with rendering performance for PCs that are at or below minimum specs.
Laser sight color can now be customized by editing the RGB value in config.ini file located in ...\Documents\My Games\Capcom\RE4\config.ini.

Changes can be made by altering values from 0 to 255 for each of the base colors (laserR = red; laserG = green; laserB = blue). laserA changes the transparency level of the dot.

Example for Blue laser with visible laser dot:
laserR 0
laserG 0
laserB 255
laserA 255

To return to factory settings (red laser sight), simply enter -1 for laserA and save.

Note: These variables will not be present in the config.ini file before this patch. In order to make them appear, simply enter graphic settings, return to main menu, and close the game.
X+C QTE key assignment can now be customized for Mouse + Keyboard controls by editing usr_input.ini located in (...)/Documents/My Games/Capcom/RE4/ folder.
To auto-generate the usr_input.ini file, simply enter K&M control settings in the game, change any of the bindings, and exit the menu.

To change keys assigned to X+C QTEs, two strings, "KEY_1 = 00000" and "KEY_2 = 00000" (X and C, respectivelyly), listed under ###KEYBOARD must be edited. The 00000 value can be changed to any of the keys listed below (without quotation marks). When changing a values, ensure that your keyboard has the actual key(s) you intend to use for the QTE!

IMPORTANT NOTE: This customization changes only the input required to execute the QTE. It does not change the on-screen prompt! In order to return to factory settings, simply use "restore to default" option in KB+M controls in-game menu or enter 00000 for the aforementioned strings in the usr_config.ini file.

"F1" "F2" "F3" "F4" "F5"F6" "F7" "F8" "F9" "F10" "F11" "F12" "F13" "F14" "F15" "0" "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "NUMPAD0" "NUMPAD1" "NUMPAD2" "NUMPAD3" "NUMPAD4" "NUMPAD5" "NUMPAD6" "NUMPAD7" "NUMPAD8" "NUMPAD9" "A" "B" "C" "D" "E" "F" "G" "H" "I" "J" "K" "L" "M" "N" "O" "P" "Q" "R" "S" "T" "U" "V" "W" "X" "Y" "Z" "ESCAPE" "TAB" "LSHIFT" "RSHIFT" "LCONTROL" "RCONTROL" "BACK" "BACKSPACE" "RETURN" "NUMPADENTER" "LMENU" "LALT" "SPACE" "CAPITAL" "CAPSLOCK" "NUMLOCK" "SCROLL" "RMENU" "RALT" "AT""COLON" "UNDERLINE" "MINUS" "EQUALS" "LBRACKET" "RBRACKET" "SEMICOLON" "APOSTROPHE" "GRAVE" "BACKSLASH" "COMMA" "PERIOD" "SLASH" "MULTIPLY" "NUMPADSTAR" "SUBTRACT" "ADD" "DECIMAL" "NUMPADEQUALS" "NUMPADMINUS" "NUMPADPLUS" "NUMPADPERIOD" "NUMPADSLASH" "KANA" "ABNT_C1" "CONVERT" "NOCONVERT" "YEN" "OEM_102" "ABNT_C2" "PREVTRACK" "KANJI" "STOP" "AX" "UNLABELED" "NUMPADCOMMA" "CIRCUMFLEX" "NEXTTRACK" "MUTE" "CALCULATOR" "PLAYPAUSE" "MEDIASTOP" "VOLUMEDOWN" "VOLUMEUP" "WEBHOME" "SYSRQ" "PAUSE" "APPS" "POWER" "SLEEP" "WAKE" "WEBSEARCH" "WEBFAVORITES" "WEBREFRESH" "WEBSTOP" "WEBFORWARD" "WEBBACK" "MYCOMPUTER" "MAIL" "MEDIASELECT" "HOME" "UP" "PRIOR" "LEFT" "RIGHT" "END" "DOWN" "NEXT" "INSERT" "DELETE" "PGUP" "PGDN" "LWIN" "RWIN"
