RE5 GE Up to 4 Players Splitscreen + DLC Support

Vlost Thanks. I've already found the file but this program doesn't work for me. It gives me a steam dll error when I try to launch the game through the program.

@laracroft Thanks for replying me.

Well when I select both controllers and click "PLAY" to actually launch the game (through the program) it shows this message: "This program can't start because steam_api.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem."

I have the gold edition version from STEAM. The other problem I noticed is that my game doesn't have the re5dx9.exe file (the script requires it), but I solved this problem by changing "re5dx9.exe" to "Launcher.exe" inside the script.

PS: I used an "alternative" version of the game and IT WORKED, but not properly. What I mean is, I use only one monitor so it shows up for me in split-screen (vertically as I chose) and there's no problem with that - the problem is that the game only answers to the window that is "focused", you know what I mean? To be able to control the other instance/game with the other controller I need to alt + tab and select the window. In this case it's not possible for me to play simultaneously with the two instances of the game.

Any help is appreciated!

UPDATE: Seems like the command line "force.focus" in the script is not working for me. I don't really know what's going on here lol.

When i hit PLAY it gives me and error "This program can't start because steam_api.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem."

I do what Frank Alcantara says about changing "re5dx9.exe" to "Launcher.exe" inside the script, but it gives me the error anyways.
Can anyone help me because i only bought it to play with my cousin (I already have the game on the PS3 complete to the 100% but i wanted to play it at 60 FPS HD), i don't have the Gold Edition, just the vanilla Resident Evil 5.

I FIXED IT

What i did is copy the file "steam_interfaces.txt" from the "NucleusCoop folder\games\Residentevil5" into the Resident Evil 5 root folder, then i created a "steam_appid.txt" in the same folder and i put the appid of the game (Just search it on the internet).
After that i copied the files "steam_api.dll" (The one thats come with the game), "steam_appid.txt" and "steam_interfaces.txt" and pasted it in "NucleusCoop folder\Data\Resident Evil 5\Instance0" and "NucleusCoop folder\Data\Resident Evil 5\Instance1".

I just want to say one thing, and that is that my game for some reason download the file "re5dx9.exe", "re5dx9.exe.cat" and "re5dx9.exe.CFG" without switching to the GFWL Build or downloading the files v1.0.9.

That's really odd. Yes I know really late reply, education is taking all the time I have.
Short way of saying this, the problem seems to be that the *Steam_api.dll* isn't copying over. You see, when Nucleus finishes syslinking the game's files apart from the exe and the dlls to the content or data folder that NucleusCoop creates and requires, the dll that is required to bypass the steam check overrides the one that is in the content/data folder containing the syslink game files as NucleusCoop would run from there.

This is a new issue that I have not experience, I use Steam version myself personally, the script works fine.
I have re5dx9.exe in my steam RE5 gold edition, which is what the game needs to target, launcher.exe iirc is like exe check to see if Steam is running, if it isn't, it will show the error saying you need to be running steam.

Have you guys got Steam installed elsewhere in different hard drive apart from C:?

I will try to be active here to try to help you out, also, there is an update with the script, it no longer requires the additional files only the JS file. I will update the thread shortly after testing it myself.

EDIT:
I kind of facepalming myself right now. I forgot to include the latest modded NucleusCoop on the post, I've edited it now, download it along with the new script which works for me, check it out and report back.

Hey guys, big update!

Recently, few guys (Kobe Bryant - for non-stop testing and finding alternative ways to fix the issue & ZeroFox (I think that's his username) were busy trying to get Mulac's patch & Rick's online patch to work with RE5 steamworks.

As you guys may have known, the game will suffer with launch issues with the patch applied and using NucleusCoop.

Today, it's all been fixed (but not yet released due to further testing required), and issue was caused by the modified Launcher.exe, thanks to ZeroFox with his programming experience, he has fixed the issue and the patch now works nicely, no longer get disconnection issue in Experimental Facility in Versus mode using NucleusCoop.

I'll get back to you all when it has been released and if there's anything else worth mentioning.
