Now here is something unexpected. After almost eight years, Capcom released a new patch for Resident Evil 5 that removes its Games for Windows Live support. Furthermore, this latest update adds support for local split-screen co-op.
Now in case you weren’t aware, the Steam version of Resident Evil 5 did not utilize GFWL. However, Capcom still left in a feature that allowed previous GFWL users to import their old save game progress and Achievements into the Steam version.
According to Capcom, the game could fail to launch if the GFWL client was missing. So basically, PC gamers were forced to install it. Thankfully, though, that will no longer be the case.
As always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
Resident Evil 5 February 28th Patch Notes

some intern at capcom was given this task to prove his skills, thanks intern guy
yeah prolly…but hey, it’s a win-win at the EOD!
How about doing the same for Lost Planet 2 now?
Speaking of the Lost Planet series, it’s a generic series that doesn’t do anything mind-blowing but still it’s enjoyable. And even though LP3 was the weakest in the series, it was still better than nothing, I had my fair share of fun with it. I don’t want remasters, reboots or sequels, I want it to stay as it is and not Judaize it.
I liked LP2 best, never played LP3. Thinking about replaying this series…
Yeah, LP2 has the most varied environments in the series due to plot reasons, plus it is perhaps the only Capcom game with offline multiplayer mode against bots (1 and 3 don’t have offline multiplayer against bots).
And they kind of toned down the silly writing, just some bros blowing up giant beasts.
Only took a decade. I guess a decade later we can have official turbo mode as well for DMC5.
The weird thing is that RE4 and RE6 also got updated on the same day, and there’s no patch notes for them (at least when I checked).
Thanks CAPGODS
What kind of simping is this ?

True HAHA
The Kind that rejects agendas and respects actual games 😉
To all of you successful slaves in the comment section that is sucking off Capcock, especially the ones that side with DRM, imagine this. Imagine if Capcom went belly up/dyfunct. What would happen to the things that you paid for but don’t own.
only game i’m willing to buy from them is Godhand. I pirate all of there other games.

ok

ok
I really hope that they bite the dust so bad. Their DRM practice & optimization laziness are killing off almost every single hardcore fan of the series. Even their D3D12 updates were mess.

Nice, hopefully the same is being worked for Lost Planet Colonies Edition and Lost Planet 2.
I just like the helpful information you provide in your articles
Nice post. I learn something totally new and challenging on websites
This is really interesting, You’re a very skilled blogger. I’ve joined your feed and look forward to seeking more of your magnificent post. Also, I’ve shared your site in my social networks!
This update also added new DRM.
Enigma Protector, it was first finded in Mafia DE.
This little b**tard hides steam_api.dll inside the .exe, so steam emulator has to be re-done and re-configured, the same goes to SteamDLC unlockers.
Fear not, this crap is weak like spider piss.
Greedy Crapcom.
RE4R will also have a lot DRM crap with custom triggers, and Denuvo DLC DRM on top of normal Denuvo.
I hope this doesn’t disturb the old GFLW/DX10 capable version available as a beta.
The updated DX9 only version that finally added the DLC has some issues they never fixed.
I posted to Capcom about 2 weeks ago that wish they would fix this and I finally believe they listened to me hahah, and it sounds like I am the only one who wanted this update. Brings me back to Xbox 360 days 13 years ago where I played with my cousin
