  • Other miscellaneous bug fixes.

Update: More community feedback has noted that this update has fixed small glitches related to speedrunning (door clipping) as well as the infinite RPG ammo glitch. Other reports also suggest that the d3d 25 error code was fixed for them. Chapter 14 skip also appears fixed. We’ll continue updating as more develops.

Update #2: On the PC side, several users have reported a number of mods now being broken. Whether the patch specifically aimed to do this or if it’s just a side effect remains to be seen.

As of right now, Capcom has yet to release any official patch notes nor mention via Twitter any patch coming out. Seeing as Resident Evil 4 Mercenaries update did release did come out earlier this month, we can only assume there are a number of fixes related to the new mode in this update.

According to the PS4 history log, this update addresses “miscellaneous” bugs, though it is important to note that the PS4 history log generally never lists specifics.

As for some community reporting, according to some Steam reports, this update doesn’t appear to address shadow issues users had in the mode.

We’ll be sure to update this post once we have more official word from Capcom.

Update: We have added the complete patch notes straight from Capcom.
