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.

🗂 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

🧹 Step 2: Remove All REFramework Files

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

🔧 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.

🧰 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.

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

🧾 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.

✅ 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.
