How to fix Resident Evil 4 Remake HDR issues on PS5, Xbox Series X and S

by

You can play Resident Evil 4 Remake in HDR on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. If the image ends up looking overly bright, extremely dark and/or too washed out, then you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, you should make sure that you have HDR enabled and calibrated properly on your console.

On the PlayStation 5 platforms, you need to go to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output and then make sure that HDR is set to On When Supported. Afterwards, select Adjust HDR and then follow the on-screen instructions.

For the Xbox Series platforms, head over to Settings > General > TV & Display Options > Video Modes and then make sure that Allow HDR10 is enabled. Afterwards, go to Settings > General > TV & Display Options, select Calibrate HDR and then follow the on-screen steps.

2. You can also adjust the HDR brightness directly from the in-game menus of RE4. In order to do so, you need to take the following steps:

  • Open the Options menu in the game.
  • From the Options menu, switch over to the Display tab. You can change tabs by using the L1 and R1 buttons on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. You need to use the LB and RB buttons on the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles.
  • From the Display tab, you need to select Brightness HDR.
  • The first screen should be the Max Brightness (HDR) setting with the following description: “Adjust until the pattern is just barely visible.” When doing so, you should be looking directly at the screen head-on.

  • The next screen should be the Brightness (HDR) setting with the following description: “Adjust until both blue and red areas are the same size.” Just like the previous step, you need to do this one while facing the screen head-on.

3. Depending on the black and brightness levels of your television set or monitor, you may need to go back to the Brightness HDR screens occasionally when moving from a light area to a dark area or vice versa in order to get an optimal viewing experience.

4. If you don’t like how the game looks in HDR, then you can simply turn off this feature and play Resident Evil 4 Remake in SDR instead.

In order to do so on the PS5, go to the console’s Settings menu and then select Screen and Video > Video Output > HDR. You should then set HDR to Off.

On the Xbox Series X and S, head over to the system’s Settings menu and then select General > TV & Display Options > Video Modes. Afterwards, make sure that the Allow HDR10, Allow Dolby Vision and Dolby Vision for Gaming and Auto HDR settings are all disabled.

How to change or turn off Resident Evil 4 Remake adaptive triggers on PS5

by

Resident Evil 4 Remake features adaptive triggers support on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition. Depending on the type of weapon you are using, you may feel that the L2 and R2 buttons require more pressure to press down. When paired with haptic feedback, adaptive triggers add an extra layer of immersion for this remake.

If you would like to change the intensity level of the adaptive triggers, or turn this setting off altogether, then you can take a look at this guide to see how you can properly do so.

Method #1:

If you would like to simply disable the adaptive trigger effects, then you can use the in-game menu of Resident Evil 4 Remake by doing the following:

  • To begin, you need to open the Options menu, which you can do by selecting Options from the Main Menu. If you are actually playing RE4 at this moment, then you can press the Options button on the DualSense to bring up the Pause screen, which is where you can then select Options.
  • From the Options screen, make sure that you are in the Controls tab. You can change tabs by using the L1 and R1 buttons on the controller if you need to do so.
  • In the Controls tab, scroll down and then move the cursor over to Adaptive Triggers.
  • You can then use the left directional button, right directional button, move the left analog stick to the left or move the left analog stick to the right in order to change the Adaptive Triggers setting to “Off.”

Method #2:

If you want to keep the adaptive trigger feature but lower its intensity, then you need to do the following:

  • To start off, head over to the home menu of your PS5. If you are playing Resident Evil 4, then you can head home quickly by pressing and holding the PS button on the DualSense.
  • From the home screen, select the gear cog icon that is placed on the top right corner.
  • You should now be in the Accessories menu, which is where you need to select Controller (General).
  • You then need to select Trigger Effect Intensity.
  • By default, Trigger Effect Intensity is set to “Strong (Standard).” You need to select the “Low” or “Medium” options in order to lower the resistance. To simply turn this feature off on a system level, you can select the “Off” option instead.

The PlayStation 5 version of Resident Evil 4 Remake features haptic feedback as the more nuanced rumble should add more to the immersion. If you would like to change, or completely disable, this vibration feature, then you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

1. To start off, you need to go into the Options menu in this survivor horror game.

From the main menu, you can simply select Options.

If you are currently playing RE4, then you need to press the Options button on the DualSense controller to bring up the Pause screen. You can then head into the Options menu from there.

2. From the Options menu, make sure you are in the Controls tab. If you are in another tab, then you can use the L1 and R1 buttons on the DualSense to switch tabs.

3. In the Controls tab of the Options menu, scroll down and then move the cursor over to Controller Vibration.

By default, this setting is set to On.

4. You can use the left and right directional pad buttons, or push the left analog stick to the left and right, to change this setting to “On (Excludes Running)” or “Off.”

The “On (Excludes Running)” option will leave the haptic feedback turned on for every other action aside from when you are running. Off course, the “Off” option will turn off rumble entirely in Resident Evil 4 Remake.

5. If you want to keep haptic feedback but would like to lessen its intensity level, then you need to do the following:

  • First off, you need to head over to the home screen of your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Editon console. You can do so by pressing and holding the PS button on the DualSesne. You can also quick press the PS button and then select the home icon located at the bottom of the quick menu.
  • In the home menu of your console, select the gear icon to head over to Settings.
  • From the Settings menu, select Accessories.
  • Inside the Accessories menu, you first need to select Controller (General).
  • On the right side of the same screen, select Vibration Intensity.
  • By default, Vibration Intensity is set to Strong (Standard). To lower to rumble effects in Resident Evil 4 Remake, you can change this setting to either “Low” or “Medium.” You can also select “Off” to turn off vibrations completely on a system level.

How to disable Resident Evil 4 Remake chromatic aberration on PS5, Xbox Series X and S

by

By default, chromatic aberration is enabled in Resident Evil 4 Remake on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Digital Edition, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. This visual feature may make the graphics appear more cinematic as it will add some blur in addition to a blue and/or red outline to objects.

If you don’t like how the survivor-horror game looks with chromatic aberration turned on, then you can take a look at this tutorial to see how you can disable this feature.

1. First off, you need to head over to the Options menu, which you can do by simply selecting Options from the Main Menu of the game.

If you are actively playing the game, then you need to first open the pause screen by pressing the Options button on PS5 or Menu button on Xbox. You should then be able to select Options from there.

2. Once you get to the Options menu, you need to switch over to the Display tab.

In order to switch tabs on the PlayStation 5 consoles, you need to use the L1 and R1 buttons. For the Xbox Series X and S systems, you need to use the LB and RB buttons.

3. From the Display tab in the Options menu in Resident Evil 4 Remake, scroll down and then move the cursor over to Lens Distortion, which is a setting that adds an effect where the graphics will be displayed in the game as if you are looking at it through a camera lens.

4. By default, the Lens Distortion is set to “On (+chromatic aberration).”

In order to change this setting, you need to use the left or right directional buttons, or move the left analog stick to the left or right directions, to set Lens Distortion to either “On” or “Off” instead.

The “On” setting will remove the chromatic aberration but will keep the distorted camera lens effect. If you don’t like the distortion, then we suggest changing the Lens Distortion setting to “Off.”

5. Once you are done, press the O button on PlayStation or B button on Xbox several times to back out of the Options menu and then return to your game.

6. If you decide to change your mind and what to re-enable chromatic aberration in Resident Evil 4 Remake, then you need to go back to the Display tab in the Options menu. From there, you can change the Lens Distortion to “On (+chromatic aberration).”
