Check that the x3daudio1_7.dll file exists in the Bin32 folder of your game. If it's not there, you can get it from the rnd rar file.

When I enter a room my screen goes blank into a beige color but I can still move around and play the game, just cannot see anything. Any ideas on a fix? I entered village 1st time it happened, loaded checkpoint and it fixed but reloading isn't helping this second time.

Duke

Hi, I'm currently finishing the tests for the new patch, which hopefully fixes this problem. It will be uploaded asap.

Help!!! I get this error every time i try to generate the randomizer. I have tried everything from disabling anti virus to running as administrator and I have installed and uninstalled the mod several time and nothing works.

@Devo For those people getting issues with malwarebytes or other programs deleting randomizer files, what I recommend is to whitelist / make an exclusion in your antivirus or windows defender to the whole Resident Evil 4 folder

Duke

Hello What I recommend in this specific case is: -Right click "Resident evil 4" folder of your game. -Click Properties -Untick "Read only" at the bottom, if it's ticked. Then try to generate again. If this doesn't work, you can check the guide on how to disable the warnings for the BAT execution, because it could be something related to uac or windows protections. Let me know if it helps

Hello, First of all, thank you for your work on the Resident Evil 4 Randomizer, it’s really awesome! I am having an issue when trying to generate a seed. Every time I click on "Generate Seed", I get this error message: "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application... The operation was canceled by the user." seed stop to "repacking/copyngr100udas ? Do you know why this message appears and how I can fix it ? I am on version of 27 may 2025 Thank you very much for your help!

Duke

Hmm, which enemies do you get in the first wave with three enemies? There are some types that won't be registered as dead (it was drones iirc). While I disabled the enemies that won't work, maybe some are still being placed for some reason. In any case, if that is preventing you to get one of the grails, you can give it to yourself with the trainer until it's fixed for next patch, which is still being worked on.

Matt Ragan

Confirming I'm having a gamebreaking bug that prevents progress in every new seed I try. In the room where you get the King's Grail with the 3 knights, (l'm guessing since with the rando you don't actually get the knights), after defeating the first wave, the carousels never turn to reveal the second wave and I get locked in the room. This has prevented me from ever completing the game. Anyone else experience this, and any idea how to get past it?

Duke

Hi, are you using the hd project mod?

Joshua

Hi, really appreciate the mod, but after following the pdf my game just crashes on startup. I checked and the x3daudio1_7.dll and x3audio1_7.ini files are in my bin32 folder. Any help would be appreciated. (edit) I verified the integrity of the game files and it said 113 files were missing, and after steam downloaded them the game would start up but crashed after starting a new game. I went and generated a seed to see what would happen and the game went back to crashing on startup.

Duke

Hello. Please check that the x3daudio1_7.dll and x3daudio1_7.ini files exist inside "Bin32" folder of the game. If these are not there, you can get/copy them from the randomizer .rar file. That should fix it.

Irem

Hey! I followed all the steps and most of the randomizer is working perfectly well. I got an issue though, sometimes in some maps (1-1 in the room with the boulder QTE, and in 1-2 during the Quarry section) I get a "gray screen" and the only way to proceed is to either restart the room and pray I don't get it again, or downright skipping the whole section. Any way to fix this? It's really annoying.

Flashforward

hey I just found out about this, wanted to say thank you for making this :)

Gilvan Plays

mod works great, thank you very much! this gave me a reason to play re4 OG again <3

Duke

Hmm, does it do the same if you open the randomizer as Admin and try generating another seed?

DropDaNukes

when I generate a seed it gives me an error saying "operation cancelled by user " When I load up the game everything seems to work except the item randomization

Layne Sherrie

apparently im not allowed to use the fix for female models mod with this

Layne Sherrie

"could not find file r10f.udas.lfs" during generate seed

Duke

If you want to revalidate files to play vanilla game again, delete both x3daudio1_7 files from the bin32 folder before revalidating and try again. Steam won't delete these two files so it has to be done manually. If there is still a copy of bio4.exe you can delete that too. About the rest, the current version of the randomizer depends on other tools and dll files that change the game and help with seed generation (which may not work on console). I don't have a Steam deck to test myself so it's complicated to know exactly what the problem could be, but maybe someone else in the comments can help you better if it worked for them.

Matt Ragan

And then upon startup it says, "Your game executable is missing the 4GB/LAA patch, this will likely cause issues with mods that require increased memory. Do you want re4_tweaks to patch the game EXE for you?" Upon doing that, the game cant even start up anymore and I have to revalidate the files again. Rinse and repeat.

Matt Ragan

It tells me basically it is downloading a new exe to work with the dll and to rename that one to bio4.exe after deleting the original.

Matt Ragan

Maybe it's because I'm playing on Steamdeck but having issues (your last one worked perfectly, though); the generator frequently freezes or crashes but when it does work the game crashes at startup or after starting a new game and looking at the inventory screen. Followed all yout tips here and everything looks right so not sure why this is happening. Interesting, though... after revalidating the Steam files (which I have to do), I get an interesting message.

Duke

HD Project mod includes old RE tweaks. If you install that after randomizer, then old tweaks will be in game folder instead. Randomizer has latest version included.

Masta Nub

I think the RE4 tweaks provided is outdated, because I had some 1.7.x version and had to download 1.9.1 separately

Duke

Hi, please check that the files "x3daudio1_7.dll" and "x3daudio1_7.ini" are present in your "Resident Evil 4\bin32" folder of the game. If these are missing, you can get them from the randomizer .rar file.

Emer G

Game crashing instantly after following the setup :(

Duke

It doesn't work for it at the moment.

denyyvb

Does this patch work for separate ways?

Duke

Hi, if the program is not opening anymore, try deleting the "Settings.cfg" file which you'll find in "RE4_PC_randomizer" folder, then try again.

Duke

Hi, I think Bawk posted a video/captures of it on his discord server (that's what I heard)

Mirko Fioravanti

I don't know if it happened to anyone but when i generate the seed and close the rando tool i can no longer open it, does anyone know how to fix this? btw re duke you did an amazing job, keep it up mate

projent

hey duke or anyone else that can respond to this. does anyone know bawks randomizer settings? i want to run a permadeath on his settings but i cant find it anywhere nor in his videos'

Duke

Hi. When you click the restore game button it will ask if you want to restore Udas files. You have to click yes. If it doesn't work after that then you'll have to reinstall the game completely. I will check in the meantime why it isn't working as intended.

Duke

Hi, I had a Mediafire link for this patch https://www.mediafire.com/file/fb3yc8svnffpbtq/RND_May27.rar/file which you can use.

Alex Stewart

I've been having issues downloading from here - the download starts, then gets an error to check my connection and refuses to start to download. Tried various browsers and checked my settings, everything else works fine! Will have to wait till its on ModDB!

OhNoZay

Hey duke!! Been playing the new patch and been enjoying it! The only problem I’ve had so far is that the restore game button doesn’t seem to work 100%. It will restore all enemies, merchants and inventory. But the world items are still randomized.

Dominic

had the same happening issue with me

Chase

And it also dosent let me know when the seed is done generating or just takes very long in general and it says can’t find a part of the path bio4/imagepackhd/0f00001.pack.ifs

Chase

Hey so its telling me that the hd mod and bio4.exe path was not found but i have them on the computer. How do i fix that?

Max Kyrk Nyströmer

I don´t know what´s happening but some doors I go trough the screen is all black or weird beige color someone knows the fix of that? trying to reset the door/checkpoint doesnt work but I here things happening and I´m moving but I can´t see shi

allen Paige

yes duke im glade the merchant fix is up

Magicninja2

Your the Goat thanks bud

Duke

Did you keep the x3daudio dll and ini files in your bin32 folder or not?

Dante _aka_Mr.X

Duke question: What can cause the crash when starting the game at begin. When i skip the cutscene the game crash sometimes and crash always at the third scene after hut encounter

allen Paige

keep up the good work had to give a fellow creative love and support

Duke

Hi, press F1 in game, then under "Gameplay" tab check Balanced Chicago Typewriter option, then restart game.

Kaili Ponder

I got the same message however idk been running the other versions no problem for over a year

Dante _aka_Mr.X

Yo great work but, it says a virus found in your packed file X3DAudio1_7.dll - win32/packed.Blackmoon.C

Carsten Tollerup

I have a question, is there a way to have the Chicago Typewriter not start with infinite ammo?

XAvengedxWolfX

Duke this is top tier!!! I know you are putting a ton of work to make this perfect! This has sparked a new passion for me and this game! You rock man!

Duke

You can try this: Open the rnd_may22 rar file. You'll see a Bin32 folder with some files. Copy all of these files into your Bin32 folder of your game and try again.

Nathan Johnston

hey I'm having an issue with the mod where it crashes my game right after I launch it just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or not. I'm able to generate the seed but the game keeps crashing at the start :)
