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:
- Open your Steam Library.
- Right-click Street Fighter 6 → Manage → Browse local files.
- 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:
- Launch the mod manager.
- Uninstall or disable any active mods tied to Street Fighter 6.
- 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:
- Open Steam Library.
- Right-click Street Fighter 6 → Properties.
- Select Installed Files (or Local Files on older versions).
- 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.dllor alternate DLLs exist in the game’s root directory. - The
/reframeworkfolder 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.
