Resident Evil 4: Capcom fixes a bug that made speedrunners happy

The Japanese publisher has released a new patch for its excellent remake. This update for Resident Evil 4 fixes many bugs on all platforms, which is obviously good news... However, Capcom also took the opportunity to fix a glitch that was widely used by speedrunners.

Indeed, some players were exploiting a bug that allowed them to pass through normally closed doors. It was then possible to access areas without needing to accomplish the objectives set by the game. To do this, all you had to do was stand against a door and aim toward the ground with the sniper rifle scope. Leon was then automatically teleported behind the infamous door (see the video below).

This phenomenon is therefore no longer relevant today.
