Dont buy this on PC.

Its a great game but this port is literally unplayable, there is constant disappearing of textures and flashes of black and white, audio is very quiet compared the the music and controls are awkward and un-customizeable (Right stick for start button?). Its a waste of money.

[☆ beel ☆]

...well it works fine for me :P

[Zmidponk]

The texture problems disappeared for me by using 'compatibility mode' and setting it to Win XP, but, yep, the controls are very awkward and cannot be reconfigured, it gets very badly stretched if you try to play it in full-screen on a widescreen monitor (which, these days, most are), which might be alleviated if the option to change resolution actually worked, but it doesn't. All in all, I only paid £3.49 for this, but it isn't even worth that.

This is the worst port ever.

[Trapped in Purgatory]

This game works for me but I can't change the controls...don't even know what does what..and the shadow effects are terrible....it is like everything is in HD but the shadows are in SD...has a very strange looking effect..

[Mando]

Too late -_-

[Mando]

No...really... I'm really deceived by Capcom to just trew us away this s**t conversion of an excellent game on ps2. No way to redefine keymaps...or resolution for modern pcs. I really loved this game on ps2 10 years ago ... but I'm really deceived of this low pc convertion.I really hope for a patch to arrange theses problems...(keep dreaming ?)

[Prune]

Yeah sorry to say but that will never happen, its Capcom.

Bump for unaware users, if you're thinking of buying this because nostalgia, DON'T DO IT, the PC por is horrible, it was made by Ubisoft back in the day along with DMC 3 and RE 4 old ports, you better off playing the game on a emulator.

It was published by Ubisoft. In some regions. I don't think Ubisoft ever ported anything not developed by themselves.
Port was (as far as I remember) made by SourceNext, as with RE4, DMC3 and, I think, Chaos Legion, which was the best port out of the bunch, I think. SourceNext did get 2 good releases with Capcom, though, DVD editions of RE2 and 3 with uncompressed CGI videos and few tiny improvements over the original releases, which were, sadly, only released in Japan.

Still, point stands - this is not a very good port, in fact it was completely unplayable originally on ATI/AMD hardware, was very prone to crashes and other fun things even back when it was played on XP and on hardware it was supposed to run on. Today it only got worse.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up.

Ubisoft did many PC ports for Capcom including the failure known as Resident Evil 4. Ubisoft never did and still doesnt have the in house talent for PC programming. Which is why ominusha is a disaster.

[Caligo Clarus]

Ubisoft doesn't port anything, they are publishers. It was ported by SourceNext as already stated.

I have a retail copy of this and on 3 different computer the game would not run properly without applying the 1.1 updates from the Ubisoft website ... redifining keymap seem to be glitched since I remember I was able to change the key's while playing under windows XP.

on my previous computer there used to be a window that shown up to change the controls when the option was selected from the option menu.

Bumping this again, for those thinking of buying the game because of nostalgia, DON'T, it's one of the most horrible ports and it doesn't support 1080p.

[DarkeoX]

Aaaalright thanks a lot to op and others as well. I nearly bought when I saw but I guess I'll just find some PS2 copy someday and emulate it.
