Resident Evil 5 fails to run on Steam due to Game for Windows Live. Luckily, a beautiful BEAUTIFUL fan has created a patch that will fix that error and make improvements to the game.

The instructions below have been added to this post for archival purposes, you can find a link to the file and original post on the bottom link.

Code: Select all

RESIDENT EVIL 5 / BIOHAZARD 5 - FIXES

This is a fan made patch to fix some of the major bugs in the Residnet Evil 5 steam port.
This is not officially approved by CAPCOM, use it on your own risk.

FIXES

- GFWL NO LONGER REQUIRED FOR PLAYING
Games for Windows Live is no longer required to launch and play the game.

- TRADE WEAPONS WITH YOUR PARTNER
You are now able to give and request weapons from your partner without restrictions.

- VERSUS MODE DEFAULT WEAPON DROP
Now you no longer lose your default weapon in VERSUS MODE: SURVIVORS/TEAM SURVIVORS when you get killed, like in the console version.

- REGION LOCK
You are now able to see and join ALL open game session from ALL regions in all game modes.
IMPORTANT: People from other regions without this patch still can't see your session because they're game is still region locked!

- COUNTRY CODE
The game now shows again the correct country flag when you host a game session and when you upload scores to the leaderboards.
IMPORTANT: Games from people without this patch will still send the wrong country code and show the wrong flag!

Also prevents Majini from running around in circlels like idiots!
