Started with the version 1.02 which is the out-of-the-steam one anyway. Apparently the 1.0 was so bad they had to put some patches to fix issues. To be honest, it's still bad port.
- The game is really CPU hungry, and even when you have a good GPU you will rely on it. What is more horrifying, it's there are trouble with processors with more than 2 cores (I have old Athlon X64) you probably have to "kill" some of them if you want to play with no stuttering. The game uses almost 100 % of the first core, while the second sits almost idle ! I can't find the thread now, but it was legit. It's more of a straight arcade emulation, a very low invenstment from Tecmo.
- Almost non-exisiting graphical settings. You can do everything in it by changing DOA5LR.ini file:
SCREEN_TYPE=FULL
RESOLUTION=1280x720
SHADOW=DISABLE
SHADOW_RESOLUTION=1024x1024
ANTI_ALIAS=0
I had to turn off shadows and AA due to the framerate problems. I can blame my old PC, but people have that issues too. If the processor is to slow, DOA changes through 30 and 60 fps and when is the latter one, it feels great. But then, Bam, it's a slowdown. Something like that is not acceptable in the fighting game. I think that giving a boost from graphic card could do wonders and would get rid of the problem. These are PS3 level of detail, and it's not like there is much to render. Japanese cannot into porting, again.
- No 16:9 higher resolutions available, even when you edit .ini file
- You want a custom keyboard settings, change something with the joystick ? Well tough luck, I had to use AutoHotkey Script to change it. Yep, something that basic is missing. Thanks Team Ninja!
Here is the default setting:
- No special effects
- There are some custom filters like SweetFX for better looking graphics, but frankly it looks like shit and gives me a headache just by looking at it. It's your choice.
- Apparently there are some stages missing
- No Soft engine, but the default "physics" feels very nice too.
- Some textures look like from a PS2 era title
- Nude mods for Ed69 -

- The 'free' version from Reloaded/3DM has these DLC's included:
352150 DOA5LR Pre-purchase Reward Set (DEAD OR ALIVE® 5 Last Round - Pre-purchase Reward Set)
358140 DOA5LR Fun Theme Set (DOA5LR DLC1249 Fun Theme Set)
358141 DOA5LR Halloween + Debut Costume Set (DOA5LR DLC1250 Halloween Debut Costume Set)
3DM China guys made another upload with some new DLC stuff, don't know what's in it, but I've read that's not all of them yet (One is missing, and apparently they are having some kind of DLC test in the steam database, it could be another one).

It's still a solid combat game, diffrent than Virtua Fighter or Tekken, and the rooster had a good variety of characters:
I've found a save with all unlocked content though. I use the japanese voices with english subtitles for maximum kawaii effect.
DOA 5 UR on PC :
arcade = no story - no soft engine - less particles - 720p textures.
last gen = story - no soft engine - less particles - 720p textures.
this gen = sotry with new character select screen - soft engine - more particles - two new stages - 720p textures, upscaled to 1080p.
PC = story with new character select screen - no soft engine - less particles - 720p textures can upscale them to 4k.
Why they couldn't just port PS4 version with some new options for PC master faprace ? It will remain a mystery.
Some pics to fap in silence after reading this post with tears in your eyes.
