Did they fix the Throwback Map Pack issue yet?
I'm not sure about that to be honest. That was a pre-order only dealio right? It's not supposed to be included in the season pass? I don't have it.

No, it's still broken. Maybe now that the season pass is straightened out, they'll get to us

Early on, I'd just figure out which character you want to use. They each have/leverage "Weapon Mastery" skills, so you will want to take advantage of that (you end up starting with significantly more ammo.
You'll also want to think about their skills. If you like headshot->stun->melee then Moira is particularly good at that, but has less weapons to start & no masteries.
Speaking generally, I carried a shotgun (general use) and a magnum (boss/elite killer) for a long time... be on the lookout for Life Stealer in the store or in mission chests. It's great on a shotgun or any general trash enemy killer. Keeps you healed.
If you're more into an assault rifle or machine pistol, fire ammo is terrific (each bullet has a chance to ignite). Ice is good, too. Shock is good for your boss killer gun, because the subsequent shots will hit harder.
For whoever you want to main, you'll want to just play every level for the completion bonus. Those completion bonus unlock stuff so you need them all. That will allow all your other folks to play any level your main has completed.
Visit the store between every mission. There are sometimes excellent parts and weapons in there. Even low level parts are great, because you can combine them to make better parts.
Pay attention to what bottle skills the character starts with/earns. If you want a specific one (bait, smoke, etc) then pick a character that gets it.
I main with Jill, because I like dodging a lot, and I like her bottle choices (bait, ice, smoke). I love rifles and she gets that skill eventually. It's a good idea to think about your play style and then look them all over.
TL;DR Life stealer on shotgun & a boss killer with shock (magnum or rifle) FTW

So does anyone elses game start in japanese?
Both me and my friend bought the 40 dollar pack from steam only when I boot the game up my splash screens are all in japanese and the main menu says "biohazard" instead of "resident evil" as soon as I load into the main menu everything is like normal but man this is bizarre.
His version has the splash screens in english.

Anyone have any luck using the dx9.dll fix to get their frame rate more stable in high particle effect situations?

The retail copy has everything. Except maube for some FLC chatacters like Hunk or Wesker. It also has the the two bonus episodes.
Only those who bought the season pass or get the retail copy get the two bonus epusodes.
Thanks!

Also note that if you max out a character's active or passive skill, you can spend some upgrade points to "unlock" it for everyone else. They'll still have to buy it themselves, but if you see a really cool skill on a character you don't like, just know that you can eventually get it on a character you do like. So, ultimately, you can just pick who you like the most and focus on making them awesome.

True, my "Urban Ninja" Moira will eventually have her katana stacked with "Savor the Moment." Only a few levels to go....

If Wesker and Redfield are playing Co op then Albert better be hissing 'Chrrisssss' at every opportunity.
I'll throw in the 'Imbecile' myself!

It replaces the knife. So R2 on PS4. It takes up a passive slot.
& lol stuns everything. It's crazy
Oh wow, that sounds awesome :-O

I'll snag some footage of Moira with it here in a bit

Lol okay, so not really 'optional' as in I get to open more paths since regardless Barry would get the drill.
Yeah I thought that part was pretty cool.
Dat RE2 technology indeed.
I think there's one wall you can only open if Barry gets the drill early rather than later. It has a guaranteed Magnum ammo box in it.
Yep, you need the drill early for that one. I think there's also a 1,000BP emerald in there, as well.
I'm stuck at the part on Episode 2 where Claire sees the little girl again and I run into the house to chase her. Now I am on the 2nd floor where you have to pull a lever and you see the jail cell type door open and you have to make it there before it closes. I tried to run with both Claire and Moira and I can't seem to make it. Anyone got tips for this part?
I was stuck in that part for about 20 minutes. You just gotta make a run for it in a very specific manner and try not to hit anything.

Yep, just make a horseshoe dash toward the closing door. After you've did it once, it's never really a problem again aside from the occasional hiccup.
Or you can
let one person go through and push a box so it stops the gate.

Episode one clearly tells you via a blatant tutorial prompt that comes up on your television screen that you can issue wait commands via triangle plus dpad direction. Have one character wait in front of the door, the other pull the lever. Change characters with triangle.
Cmon guys this isn't portal.

Is Episode 3 out yet?
Capcom pls
lol I've just been playing Raid Mode and waiting until all 4 story missions are out until I play them

The door is the true enemy when people forget you can tell the AI to stay in place.
Cool. I thought about that, but couldn't figure out how to make Moira stay. I gotta look at the controls again. Thanks.
Yeah it's Y or triangle and down on the d pad by default. Didn't mean to be snarky if I came off like that,I was genuinely wondering.

Uh no. You have Claire go to the cell door, and switch characters and have the girl pull the lever. Switch again and just walk through. There are two characters for a reason... lol
Duh. I tried that and Moira would just follow me. I forgot the "wait" command exists -___-

So it's actually possible to just run to the door? I would have never thought you could.
Dude, Wesker is a tank.
I've been playing it solely with just Magnums and Pistols up to level 22, and have had very little trouble thanks to his Magnum skill and evade cancelling. Rocking a pistol with a ton of upgrades (clip extension, damage, healing), and a magnum (S.T.A.R.S, fire dmg, critical, reload speed) for boss/elites makes this real fun. I've sunk points just into magnum, pixel skill, melee and lighting bottles (to help with elites). I'd recommend the hell out of it to anyone if you're willing to nab Wesker!

I definitely just ran through it, as I was too drunk at the time to look up how to tell Moira to stand still.
you can totally just run through the door
i actually tried to do it the way where you have someone wait but the damn door kept on closing i just decided "fuck it" and ran for it and it totally worked
also the more i use the katana the more i'm starting to suspect that the knife actually may be better

You know, that would explain why they gave Natalie a crawl hole just in case.

Based on the fact you can go back to the room as Barry, but its a lot more complicated now, I am going to take it that yes, it would not be propped open.
