đź§© How to Completely Uninstall REFramework from SF6 [Street Fighter 6]

REFramework is a widely used modding and scripting tool designed for Capcom’s RE Engine — powering games like Street Fighter 6, Resident Evil remakes, Monster Hunter Rise, and Dragon’s Dogma 2.

If you’re troubleshooting performance issues, removing mods, or simply returning to a clean installation, here’s how to fully remove REFramework from your Street Fighter 6 setup.


đź—‚ Step 1: Locate Your Game Directory

To begin, you’ll need to find the main installation folder for Street Fighter 6 — the directory containing the game’s executable file (StreetFighter6.exe).

For Steam users:

  1. Open your Steam Library.
  2. Right-click Street Fighter 6 → Manage → Browse local files.
  3. This opens your game’s root directory, typically located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Street Fighter 6

đź§ą Step 2: Remove All REFramework Files

Once you’ve opened the game’s root directory, delete all REFramework-related files and folders.

đź”§ Delete the Main DLL Loader

Locate and remove:

dinput8.dll

This file is the REFramework injector — it’s what enables the framework to load at runtime.

If you also find any of the following files, remove them too:

dxgi.dll
version.dll

(These may appear in alternate setups or advanced builds.)

🗑️ Delete the REFramework Folder and Config Files

Now, delete the reframework folder and any associated configuration or log files:

/reframework
re2_fw_config.txt
re2_framework_log.txt
reframework_crash.dmp

These files contain scripts, logs, and settings related to REFramework and should all be removed to ensure a clean uninstall.


đź§° Step 3: (Optional) Remove Mod Manager Files

If you used Fluffy Mod Manager or another mod manager:

  1. Launch the mod manager.
  2. Uninstall or disable any active mods tied to Street Fighter 6.
  3. The mod manager will automatically revert any modified files to their original state.

đź’ˇ Pro Tip: Always disable mods before removing REFramework. This prevents leftover mod data from interfering with your game.


đź§ľ Step 4: Verify Game Integrity (Highly Recommended)

Once all REFramework files are deleted, it’s smart to let Steam verify your installation.

To verify via Steam:

  1. Open Steam Library.
  2. Right-click Street Fighter 6 → Properties.
  3. Select Installed Files (or Local Files on older versions).
  4. Click Verify integrity of game files…

Steam will scan the game directory, remove any non-original files, and re-download official data — restoring your game to its factory-clean state.


âś… Step 5: Final Check

You’ve successfully removed REFramework when:

  • No dinput8.dll or alternate DLLs exist in the game’s root directory.
  • The /reframework folder and all config/log files are deleted.
  • Steam verification completes without errors.

You can now launch Street Fighter 6 safely — no mods or scripts from REFramework will load in the background.
