The Silent Hill 2 Remake obtained its first large patch yesterday, one which aimed to assist curb a few of poor James’ glitchy shenanigans. Sadly, it appears to be like prefer it’s additionally brought about an uptick in situations of a progress-blocking bug that Bloober seems to already be investigating.
In case you missed the patch dropping, you’ll find out all the stuff it did right here, with the bunch of James fixes I alluded to being accompanied by another tweaks and totally different efficiency enhancements for PS5 and PC.
Unfortuntely, because the patch was deployed, quite a few gamers throughout each of these platforms have taken to Reddit and Twitter to relay that they’ve now gotten caught on the level within the sport’s Labyrinth part that sees you have got remedy a puzzle involving a dice, with stated puzzle now seemigly not doing what it ought to (thanks, Eurogamer).
It is a fairly large downside playthrough-wise, because it bars you from progressing, and traps you within the Labyrinth endlessly, which is clearly a little bit of a bummer. There are a few people who’ve shared potential workarounds on Reddit, however in any other case it appears to be like such as you’re gonna have to sit down tight and look forward to Bloober to deploy a hotfix.
Fortunately, the studio could be very a lot on the case. “We’re conscious of a difficulty some gamers could encounter after the newest 1.04 patch launched on October 21 within the Labyrinth degree of Silent Hill 2,” it wrote in a Steam announcement, “This blocker can happen for those who load a save knowledge from the Labyrinth degree (after Toluca Jail) created earlier than making use of the 1.04 patch.
“Our group has recognized the problem, and a repair is in implementation. The repair can be launched as quickly as attainable. Presently, we wish to suggest a brief workaround which is utilizing an earlier save, earlier than coming into the Labyrinth. We deeply apologize for this inconvenience. We wish to sincerely thank all gamers for his or her persistence.”
So, there you go, sit back. Or, for those who’re not within the temper to attempt the workarounds and are on PC, you can begin a brand new sport as a strolling flesh blob. Yep, attempt to neglect about Pyramid Head’s toned physique and say hiya to ‘flesh blob Sunderland’, a mod which turns James’ head and torso into one large flesh blob texture, from which his legs and arms protude. It is very a lot giving horror film Humpty Dumpty.
“I made an error whereas modding the sport and created this freak,” reads the one line description from modder WindowBreakerCharlie. I feel they’re being a bit harsh on themselves. That is artwork.
