The Silent Hill 2 remake launched this week, and although it is working comparatively properly there’s one comfortable lock glitch that may make it unimaginable to progress with out reloading an earlier save. The glitch takes place close to the top of Brookhaven Hospital—however it may be averted.
As noticed by Eurogamer and by many beneficial followers on social media, you are capable of comfortable lock your recreation by interacting with a porthole in a door on the third flooring of Brookhaven Hospital. Here is a comparatively spoiler-free description of how you can keep away from comfortable locking.
After coming into the third flooring of Bookhaven you may have a brief cutscene wanting via a bit of window—a porthole—in a door. Whenever you return to the third flooring in a while you may must be positive you manually save earlier than going via to the rooftop. When you’re on the opposite facet of the door it’s best to autosave—however ensure you don’t work together with the porthole from the opposite facet. Simply proceed in your merry method.
Interacting with the porthole from the improper facet will teleport you to the improper facet of the door, stopping you from exploring the world you simply received to and comfortable locking the sport with no method to progress. When you unintentionally hit the button and get teleported to the improper facet it’s best to be capable of reload that autosave—however some individuals cannot reload it. That is why you made that handbook save earlier than the rooftop, which ought to get you again on monitor shortly.
I used to be capable of simply replicate the comfortable lock utilizing a save. There is not any phrase from Bloober Workforce on how quickly this can get mounted, however because it’s simply replicated I would hope they will make the change in a hotfix quickly.
The remake of Silent Hill 2 is doing fairly properly for itself, with developer Bloober Workforce reporting over one million copies offered and commentators praising it for staying true to the imaginative and prescient of the unique—like how protagonist James simply is not that cool a man.
“Bloober Workforce’s remake hews intently to the unique’s excessive requirements, however often stumbles,” mentioned critic Kerry Brunskill within the PC Gamer Silent Hill 2 assessment. “When it is good it is wonderful: any recreation that hews as intently as this one does to one thing with Silent Hill 2’s excessive requirements can go toe to toe with some other trendy horror recreation. However it depends an excessive amount of on its repetitive, violent encounters.”
