Installation

4 simple steps

  1. Install the game Resident Evil 4 Remake from Steam. Installing the two DLCs is optional.
  2. Download the installer Download the installer
  3. Follow the installer instructions The installer will do the following in detail:
    • Tries to find your RE4 install folder
    • Removes every leftover of a previous REFramework install before setting up the mod. Any other mods you have installed will be gone as well — that's needed so RE4VR works correctly. Back them up before you install RE4VR!
    • Asks you for OpenVR or OpenXR, Steam or Meta
    • Installs the newest mod version

    All you have to do is click Next.

  4. Start the game and play

SteamVR / MetaVR Sets the matching controller offsets for your headset. Pick the one you actually use, otherwise your hands and weapons will sit slightly off.
Recoil Three levels to choose from: off, mid and max.
Crosshair Size A per weapon slider for the crosshair size.
Enable Dot Crosshair Replaces the regular crosshair with a simple dot for every weapon — it is even shown when aiming down the iron sights of rifles.
Dot Crosshair Size Sets the size of the dot when “Enable Dot Crosshair” is active.
Disable Crosshair No crosshair at all.
Select Crosshair Color Color of the regular crosshair. Default is white.
Select Laser Color Once you have the laser addon attached, the laser takes on the color you pick here. Default is red.

Enable 2D Cutscenes Plays all cutscenes on a flat cinema screen in front of you instead of in 3D.
Disable Assist Light Turns off the light around the character.
Turn Speed Stays in sync with the in-game turn speed slider, but goes beyond its maximum for even faster turning.
Enable 180 degree turn Double click the left stick down to perform a quick turn.
Enable Snapturn Once enabled you can choose between three angles: 30, 45 or 90 degrees.
Enable Roomscale The character follows you around, crouching included.
Shotgun and Red9 Shell Ratio Determines how many shells go in per reload motion.

Rendering

The second category of the mod menu. It holds the upscaler, the rendering technique and, on OpenXR, the render resolution.

Enable Upscaling Renders the game at a lower resolution and upscales it again, which buys you a lot of frames. Leave it off if your GPU is fast enough.
Sharpness Sharpens the upscaled image. The slider below it, Sharpness Amount, sets how strong that is.
Upscale Type Which upscaler is used: DLSS, FSR or XeSS.
Quality Level From performance to quality. The last entry, DLAA, does not upscale at all, it only applies the anti aliasing.
DLSS Preset Only visible with DLSS selected. Leave it alone unless you know what you are looking for.
Rendering Technique Single Frame Multipass renders both eyes every frame and is the safe choice. AFW (beta) renders one eye per frame and warps the other one, which is faster but can show artifacts. The two entries below are greyed out on purpose, they caused too many problems in this game.
Resolution Scale OpenXR only. Multiplies the resolution your runtime asks for, so 1.0 is exactly that. It starts at 0.5 so the game runs smoothly on first launch; raise it until it starts to stutter. The value only takes effect once you press Set next to it.

Bindings

Here you can find the bindings for normal gameplay. Keep in mind that menus, the boat, the jet ski and cutscenes use their own layouts, which you will find out by yourself, I'm sure.
