The game is great but port to PC is appaling, there is no mouse support and in that scene when boulder is coming after me I don't know what key to press because console commands were not translated to PC keyboard control.

All walkthroughs under Resident Evil 4 for PC are stupidly only for console.

Also I downloaded mouse aim mod 1.2 but it doesn't work...

I agree, this port really blows, one of the worst I have ever seen. I got the mouse mod to work, but it really doesn't help... So I just wouldn't bother with it lol.

The port to PC is not just appaling but it's like intentionally insulting. I don't get it how could they made it so badly since this really is a great game that would sell wonderfully on PC. It's like they are stupid and mean.

I got a few graphics mods, a mod that replaces the buttons with 360 ones, and used my 360 controller. Played the game and it was great.

Why would you want to play Resident evil with a keyboard and mouse.

Gamepad dude. Otherwise you shouldn't have bought it.

Aggreed, read reviews, otherwise I thought it rocked

Go to the RE4 board for some tips and get the keyboard button replacer. This displays the actual keypresses instead of the console buttons.

It feels hard at first but soon you'll realise that there are only 2 key combinations that you need to remember throughout the game.

Sory but that's what happens when you buy RE4 on PC. You get about 10 minutes of fun and then you get the rest of the day to cry in the corner about one of the worst purchases someone could make. I really do feel sorry for all those people who had to wait to get the PC version of RE4.

I found out that in order to patch the game with EU patch 1.1 I have to do this-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I patched the NETSHOW release with EURO patch. However, I did have to do two things first.

1. Go to your start menu->run->regedit, then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECAPCOMbiohazard 4
and rename it to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECAPCOMResident Evil 4

2. Find the euro version original unpatched game.exe (which I can't find anymore. Damn.) and put it in installation folder before patching.

After that patch did its magic (took 5-10 minutes though) and it worked.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so if someone has EU unpatched game.exe file please zip it and send it to kromotaur@yahoo.com or host it somewhere(like rapidshare) and post the link here.

Thanks.

Hmm, interesting. I was going to get the PC version but if there is no mouse support, can gamepads really aid the game? I have heard also the patch makes things better like the graphics etc being improved from the first release?

If not, I think I may avoid buying this.

It really his a completely horrible port, and you can tell that they put no effort into it as nobody in their right minds would port a game to PC and not have mouse-support. I've tried it, but it was so far beneath true PC games that it hasn't been touched since my original 15 min attempt. Perhaps it plays alright on a console....

I only got round to buying it recently. Installed the 1.10 patch, used a 360 controller and enjoyed it.

Might not be as great in terms of story and setting in comparison to the other games that felt a lot darker, but it was still good.

Never seen as much extra content in a game either.

I tried it with a gamepad and it still sucked, maybe a 360 controller would have made a difference. not worth buying a 360 controller for just the occasional console port though.

Lol. No. Capcom has always been clueless about making games for the pc.
