i follwed the steps outline above but the trainer freezes when i go into auroa from the steam deck.

please ask for support in the steam deck forum Link

regarding crashing game at trainer activation.. try here

This game has anticheats, scanners, and all sorts of crashing issue. To use the trainer without these issues, there is a 3rd party fix that will allow the trainer to be used and to fix the graphics and anticheats crashes.

Go here:

github.com/praydog/REFramework-nightly/releases/download/latest/RE4.zip

download that .zip.

Unzip the .zip and take the file:

dinput8.dll

and place it into your game directory, usually:

C:\Steam\steamapps\common\RESIDENT EVIL 4 BIOHAZARD RE4

You won't need the other files, unless you want to try the game in VR mode.

Run the game and you will see that an overlay for VR is present. You can close it using the hotkey it tells you once it has finished setting up.

You can then activate the trainer, and hopefully all will go without crashes.

Credits and thanks to PRAYDOG for his work on this title for VR and to allow mods. If there has been a new patch it may take some time for PRAYDOG to update the .dll that allows mods. Give him some time to update it.
