The Silent Hill 2 Remake obtained its first huge patch yesterday, one which aimed to assist curb a few of poor James’ glitchy shenanigans. Sadly, it seems prefer it’s additionally prompted an uptick in cases of a progress-blocking bug that Bloober seems to already be investigating.
When 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 lot of 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 recreation’s Labyrinth part that sees you might have clear up a puzzle involving a dice, with stated puzzle now seemigly not doing what it ought to (thanks, Eurogamer).
It is a fairly large drawback playthrough-wise, because it bars you from progressing, and traps you within the Labyrinth ceaselessly, 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 seems such as you’re gonna have to take a seat tight and anticipate Bloober to deploy a hotfix.
Fortunately, the studio may be very a lot on the case. “We’re conscious of a problem some gamers might encounter after the newest 1.04 patch launched on October 21 within the Labyrinth stage of Silent Hill 2,” it wrote in a Steam announcement, “This blocker can happen in case you load a save information from the Labyrinth stage (after Toluca Jail) created earlier than making use of the 1.04 patch.
“Our crew has recognized the problem, and a repair is in implementation. The repair can be launched as quickly as potential.

We wish to sincerely thank all gamers for his or her persistence.”
So, there you go, relax. Or, in case you’re not within the temper to attempt the workarounds and are on PC, you could possibly begin a brand new recreation as a strolling flesh blob. Yep, attempt to overlook about Pyramid Head’s toned physique and say hey to ‘flesh blob Sunderland‘, a mod which turns James’ head and torso into one huge flesh blob texture, from which his legs and arms protude. It’s totally 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.
