REFix

REFix

An REFramework plugin for RE3R that provides fixes and gameplay improvements. The input-altering aspects of this plugin are intended to be used by those playing with a mouse and keyboard. Controller players may not find them suitable.

Compatible Game Versions

This mod works on both the current patch and the DX11 non-raytraced version of the Resident Evil 3 Remake. Download the "TDBxx" versions for use with the DX11 branch. The version of this mod that works with the Resident Evil 2 Remake can be found here. The mod may work on other games in the same engine but this has not been tested. Better compatibility is planned in future releases. Unofficial or "cracked" versions of the game are not supported. Proton (including forks) on Linux is supported.

Removes horizontal mouse speed scaling relative to pitch

For some reason, the horizontal mouse speed in this game is highest when looking at the horizon and decreases linearly as the player looks up or down. This functionality is removed by the plugin and the mouse speed is the same no matter the vertical look angle.

Removes input damping

By default, it actually takes a fraction of a second for the mouse speed to reach maximum from a "standstill" (i.e. not moving the mouse)1, causing the player to experience so-called negative mouse acceleration. The plugin removes this behavior, allowing the mouse to move at full speed at all times.

FOV-dependent sensitivity

The mouse sensitivity now decreases when the FOV is lower and vice versa. This is most noticeable while aiming, and is intended to make hitting precise shots easier. In order to get the proper effect, set both your in-game sensitivity sliders to the same value. Note that this is not meaningfully different from just having your sensitivity sliders at different values—it is simply a convenience feature that lets you skip having to manually adjust the sliders independently.

Removes dynamic difficulty

Normally, certain actions in the game suck as firing a weapon, damaging an enemy, or taking damage yourself will cause the difficulty scale of the game to be adjusted slightly. This adds up over the course of a playthrough, resulting in unfairly tanky enemies if you play too well; therefore, the best strategy is to periodically take intentional damage to keep the game's difficulty low. This is undesireable because it actually rewards the player for playing worse, and lowers the skill ceiling by not allowing the player to get a feel for how many hits it takes to defeat each enemy. This mod removes this feature, although scripted difficulty changes are still present. For example, the difficult setting starts out low during the intro sequence at the gas station and then inc
