Adaptive Difficulty Lock

Adaptive Difficulty Lock

See and control RE9's hidden adaptive difficulty system. Monitor your current rank and all scaling factors in real-time, and lock the rank to stop the game from adjusting difficulty behind your back.

What is Adaptive Difficulty?

RE9 adjusts difficulty based on how well you play. Kill enemies without taking damage and the game ups enemy damage, speed, and stagger resistance. Struggle and it dials them back. This system runs in the background with no indication it's happening.

This mod exposes the entire system and lets you freeze it.

Features

    Installation

    1. Install REFramework — extract dinput8.dll to your game folder:

    Steam\steamapps\common\Resident Evil Requiem\

    2. Extract this mod — place reframework folder into:

    Steam\steamapps\common\Resident Evil Requiem\ or if you already have reframework\autorun\ then just drag the lua into the autorun folder.

    3. Launch the game, press Insert to open REFramework, expand Script Generated UI and then Adaptive Difficulty.

    How It Works

    Reads from app. RankManager to display the current rank and scaling factors. Locking calls the game's own requestDisableAddRankPoint and requestDisableRemoveRankPoint methods to prevent the rank from changing. No memory edits and no hardcoded values. Uses the game's built-in API.

    Troubleshooting

    Shows "RankManager not available"

    Normal in menus and loading screens. Values appear once gameplay starts.

    Rank jumps on scene load

    The game reloads rank from your save data each scene. The lock re-applies automatically.

    Uninstall

    Delete RE9_Rank_Control.lua from reframework\autorun\ and optionally delete RE9_Rank_Control_config.json from the game folder.
