“The crux of the issue is that the PC code base has no concept of multiple controllers,” the spokesperson wrote. He or she also claimed that the co-op code was “an orphaned code base from the PS3/Xbox 360 SKU which simply does not work on a PC”. However, on Friday gamers discovered via a release notes file accidentally left in the Steamworks build of the game that Capcom had intentionally “ripped out” the code that allowed said mod to function.Īfter an outcry, a Capcom community spokesperson told NeoGAF that the note being left in the build was an 'unfortunate oversight'. Capcom has been forced to re-release the Games For Windows Live version of Resident Evil 5 on Steam after complaints over the removal of splitscreen co-op from the Steamworks edition.Īlthough the game features splitscreen co-op on consoles, it has never been available on PC without the use of a mod.
