Is it worth it to fully upgrade the starting handgun or should I go with Red9 ? I'm probably going to replay the game on Pro.

Surprisingly I haven't experienced any fps drops yet, been pegged @ 60fps so far according to Fraps.
I'm only using the in-game settings and nothing external (default nvidia control panel settings)
1080p / In game 4X Anti-aliasing / Fixed 60 / High shadows / HD textures (of course).
Motion blur disabled only because an LCD monitor provides its own motion blur free of charge.

I don't upgrade the starting handgun at all and ditch it once the Red9 is available and stick to that.
Gears unfortunately also added in a bunch of awful shit like brain dead allies in single player who are basically the same color as enemies, huge gaps between checkpoints, no gun upgrades and an over abundance of one hit kill attacks for enemies.

Booooooo!!!
Just hit the windy / rainy / Stoke Wednesday night (ch 2) and I'm quite disappointed my computer is chugging and unable to handle the awesomeness of 60fps. The strange thing is even if I drop the resolution from 1080p down to 720p or mess around with the other settings it still chuggs at the same points by the ~same frame rate. Stupid computer.

Alright those freaking Regenerators look mental at 1440p (especially the red eyes) but it's jumping neck bite at 60fps is eerie. Can't wait to get out of these cramped corridors *shudders*.
I'm not a fan of the starting Handgun until you can get it's exclusive (way higher crit chance). Red 9 or Blacktail are what I go for every time.

Controls like this on PC are absolutely unacceptable my friend. We should have proper mouse and keyboard controls LIKE EVERY OTHER FUCKING 3RD PERSON PC GAME EVER MADE.
It's getting really annoying that people dont understand the difference between mouse turning and tank controls
RE5 has tank controls too and it lets you turn left and right with the mouse, because its not a garbage port. tank controls have nothing to do with what inputs you do to accomplish the action. no one here is asking for strafing or moving while aiming, just a control scheme that makes sense on pc.
GAF, I still love this game to death. I'm not even going to bother looking for an FOV mod since practically everything about RE4 seems perfectly balanced and constructed, even the massive blind spots when aiming at enemies.
Disable post-processing?

RE5 on consoles had RE4 controls on scheme A and B. The default D scheme let you turn while using the camera, so of course the PC port had mouse turning.
Why doesn't RE4 add mouse turning? I guess the argument is the game wasn't designed to be played that way.
Just like the Wii version broke the game. Don't get me wrong it was fun as all hell with the pointer but it broke the difficulty completely IMO.

I honestly don't remember which section it was, but it was around or after the Salazar fight that I got a glimpse of what I think was white binary code for a split second. It was superimposed on the action (cutscene? I forget already), and it was faded/was low opacity and could only really be seen in the darker parts of the scene.
I was definitely seeing 1s and 0s and don't think my eyes were playing tricks on me. It was really odd.

First off, have you done the usual checking of the cache? If that doesn't work, try running as administrator or compatibility mode.
yes to both
Then how did I miss it? Unless I was drunk during it or something.
You can't miss it but you can run away into the lift when it turns up but he's
attacks you several times through the roof and celling as you go to switch the power on and turns up when you press the switch
3 of the 4 canisters
Steam forums made their way here I guess.
Well yeah, but on my last playthrough I swear I didn't even do that. I fell down into the basement area and skipped past it.
I must have been imagining it.

I listed three things, though \o/ The Walking Dead didn't launch for me once upon a time, and running it in compatibility mode did the trick.
Find the game's .exe and right-click -> properties -> compatibility tab -> check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and then try Windows 98 / Me. If none of this works (and you try other compatibility modes), then I'm stumped.
Hahaha I don't now dude, despite playing through this countless times over the years a few things have got me wondering if that's how they were when I last played it, which was only about a year ago. The

I forgot there was a town with a fucking noose in the square in TTYD.
When I was playing TYD with Dolphin wide screen hack, you could see the level loading on the edges that would generally be cut off.
Is there anyway to get it to load the entire thing like in your shot?
Much better.
Optimized, better geometry/textures, solid controls, rebindable keys, real-time cutscenes, and more.
There are a few problems, but looks like they are working on a patch.
You are right. It is a bit annoying. Not asking for strafing here either, just an official support for having Leon turn on L/R mouse axis. It's funny how he can turn like that when you aim, but can't do the same when you are not.
I found like a halfway solution though:
go to your input.ini
###KEYBOARD
KEY_FORWARD = W
KEY_BACK = S
KEY_RIGHT = D
KEY_LEFT = A
Change to:
KEY_FORWARD = W
KEY_BACK = S
KEY_RIGHT = MA_RIGHT
KEY_LEFT = MA_LEFT
That way he turns smoothly with mouse axis L/R input. Only problem is that you loose the free camera look on mouse. If anyone has an idea how to keep or activate that on a button it would be perfect.

I dont think its your PC, seriously mine is the same. 60 fps fine but then that section and boom, slideshow. I think its just some really shittily optimised areas that are killing it as people have complained about alot of the same areas (waterfall/cable cars), and changing/lowering settings doesnt affect it at all

I'm interested to see how RE4's mercs mode holds up as while the gunplay works incredibly for the campaign, RE6's mechanics really elevated the Mercs in that game to a new high for the series. Plus RE5 had some great maps.
This game is as great as I remember it to be. I just rescued Ashley from the church, going with the Punisher, Shotgun, and Rifle.
Playing this on a Surface Pro makes things a little glitchy. Shadows flicker in and out, certain cutscenes (such as the intro cutscene) have sound syncing issues, and once my computer wanted to force RE4 to close due to memory issues. However running 720p @ locked 30FPS, no AA, and SD textures is a pretty solid experience, especially on the 10" screen where it's harder to see details anyway. There are a handful of sections that chugs the frame rate, most notably when having to block the river to get behind the waterfall and when zooming in with a rifle, but overall it has been very stable.
I assume downloading the latest Intel HD 4000 graphics drivers would make the game run smoother and possibly fix the glitches previously mentioned, but I've heard those drivers also hurt the battery life so I don't think it's worth it.

Yeah so...this is pissing me off
Was originally freezing in 1-3...now I'm freezing in 3-1 after taking care of the enemy locked in the cell.
Come on man...wtf

I almost choke myself laughing with this
riot gun, striker is total shit unless you're 2 inches away
and no. i just sold the shotgun when i ran out of space.
Striker is the best.
Don't bother upgrading the others if you're going to use the Striker. Just use them for crowd control/knockdown, not damage.
The encounter happens everytime but iirc you can escape on the elevator without killing it.
Look at the door on the left building (the fact that it isn't there.)
It isn't working properly in my screenshot either!
Conflicting information!
I think I'll go for Striker this time, just because I've never used it for real.

Striker is most economical, the 100 shell upgrade will give you a lot of ammo on its own while also helping you clear space in your inventory, and since reloading isn't much of a factor it lets you go to town when you need to use it. You have better distance options than shotguns, so Riot Gun is pretty pointless.

Bleh, just got Ashley out and already running out of space. Probably because of that TMP. Never really used it in any version, but after hearing the love it's getting in the thread I'll try it out more.
Striker. Can't beat that 100 ammo, and fast reloads.
