During the lifespan of Devil May Cry 5, there were numerous updates, each one changing files or how they were read in the game executables, breaking several mods and trainers.
This page aims to give back the life DMC 5 lost through such updates, and through this, you can install any mods that were ever created for that game, as long as you know which specific version of mods you want to install.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TU8 - The Last Update | 24 April 2023
This is the last update existent for DMC 5. It added virtually nothing and changed nothing, but it broke trainer compatibilities and to this day, the trainers existent are not perfectly functional and easy to install anymore.
To use this, you must have the game installed through Steam and simply be updated with all .pak files present in the game folder.
Download the executable here

TU7 - The Nvidia Update | 17 December 2021
This update came out of nowhere when the game was already "perfect" with the Vergil DLC being present, however we assumed it could be some Special Edition features, such as LDK, actual in-game Turbo, etc, but instead, the only thing that changed was a stupid extra intro screen with the Nvidia Logo, breaking trainers again.
To use this, you must:
- Delete or rename the file re_chunk_000.pak.patch_007.pak to anything else. Usually I add a dot and write bak in the end, so the file name becomes like this: re_chunk_000.pak.patch_007.pak.bak
- Replace the game executable.

TU6 - The Vergil Update | 15 December 2020
This was the update with the most significant changes ever. Models started being loaded with a different structure (so model mods broke). Void did the same thing (so Void mods also broke). Needless to say trainers broke as well since there was a much different structure now, and also, the modmanager had to be updated to install mods with such structure.
To use this, you must:
- Delete or rename the files re_chunk_000.pak.patch_007.pak and re_chunk_000.pak.patch_006.pak;
- Replace the game executable.
- Optionally, to install mods in this game, you should use an older version of Fluffy, which you can download in here.

TU5 - The Denuvo Removal | 6 February 2020
This is the update that finally removed Denuvo from the game executable, improving drastically performance on mid-end machines and of course, making it easier for people to crack the game, which is the least important aspect to it.
To use this, you must:
- Delete or rename the files re_chunk_000.pak.patch_007.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_006.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_005.pak
- Replace the game executable.
- To install mods in this game version and older ones, you should use a VERY OLD version of Fluffy, which you can download in here

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TU4 - Bug Fixes | 7 June 2019
This was a simple update that fixed some bugs the game had.
To use this, you must:
- Delete or rename the files re_chunk_000.pak.patch_007.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_006.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_005.pak
- Replace the game executable.
- To install mods in this game version and older ones, you should use a VERY OLD version of Fluffy, which you can download in here

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TU3 - Bloody Palace Update | 1 April 2019
In the game release, dataminers checked and discovered that the Bloody Palace files were already present in the game, only deactivated. This update was the one that activated Bloody Palace, once a person had already beaten the game at least once.
To use this, you must:
- Delete or rename the files re_chunk_000.pak.patch_007.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_006.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_005.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_004.pak
- Replace the game executable.
- To install mods in this game version and older ones, you should use a VERY OLD version of Fluffy, which you can download in here
Download the executable here
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TU2 - Bug Fixes | 19 March 2019
I could never find the executable of this game version, no matter how much I tried too. If perhaps you have it, comment in this post or enter our DISCORD SERVER, and message me in there so I can add it here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TU1 - DENUVOLESS Executable (Extra) | 8 March 2019
When the game released, people noticed that a few hours after that, there was a public branch on Steam, which was used by the QA team to ensure the game quality.
This branch in case was NOT encrypted by Denuvo. And reasonably speaking, this branch should not be public. However, since the visibility of such branch was public, it was possible to download it with no issues.
To use this, you must:
- Delete or rename the files re_chunk_000.pak.patch_007.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_006.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_005.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_004.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_003.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_002.pak
- Replace the game executable.
- To install mods in this game version and older ones, you should use a VERY OLD version of Fluffy, which you can download in here

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TU1 - The Game Release | 8 March 2019
This is the original executable that came with the game release.
To use this, you must:
- Delete or rename the files re_chunk_000.pak.patch_007.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_006.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_005.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_004.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_003.pak
re_chunk_000.pak.patch_002.pak
- Replace the game executable.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRO TIP:
If you don't know if a mod is gonna work in the game version you have installed, an easy way to verify this, is checking the "release date" of the mod.
In this case, here there's a mod of "The Devil Sword Nero".
If you take a closer look at it, you gonna notice that this mod was released in 19 April 2019
And since the "model structure" of the game was only changed in the Vergil Update, this mod is gonna work in every game version below that version, and it's not gonna work properly in none of the game versions released after Vergil Update.
THE ONLY EXCPETION for this rule, are trainers and gameplay mods that specifically use some trainer function to work.
In this case, only the exact specific version of the executable will be compatible with such mods.
