This game has a huge number of bugs, if the posts on the internet are any indication. I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread about all of the bugs that we have encountered. For reference, and maybe something to tell the developers if they ever decide to patch the game.

1) Froze loading the "missing persons billboard" scene.
2) Unresponsive keypad in the Police Station locker puzzle.
3) Froze on the loading screen (with the tips) while entering a door in the prison.
4) Items in the inventory showing up as other items (the ceremonial dagger is where the steel pipe should be, the pistol is where the shotgun should be, etc.)

Anybody else?

^now we have 3 threads involving bugs/glitches. Where is Krist when we need her?

Huh?

Where were the other threads at...?

Let's see... along with this thread...

Well it appears as though those threads focus on particular issues...

Guess this can be locked if need be, sorry for taking up space.

I had to restart my game from the beginning because of a huge bug.

Here's my advice.. After you... (Not a major spoiler, just a regular enemy and location spoiler) [spoiler]kill the Needlers in the sewer, and before or during the Siam attack, DO NOT SAVE. When you die and reload, the Siam does not load. Because you need to kill him to advance, you become stuck with no option but to reload from an earlier save, or in my case because of the five save system, from the very beginning.[/spoiler]

It did give me the option to start the game on Normal difficulty which I'm finding fun, albeit less terrifying.

Since this is in the non-spoiler section and the 360 thread is in the spoiler section I think this thread should stay open.

Glad to see my work is appreciated But yeah I guess Amy's right...

haven't noticed any bugs. playing on a 360 as well. but then again, i haven't had any problems with my 360 playing any games.

Only problem I had was freezing on one particular cutscene late in the game. It only froze if I tried the skip it. The problem is, I had to watch it five times as I was doing different paths to get the different endings. It was a particularly long cutscene, too, and it kind of sucked I had to go through it so many times because it would lock up if I didn't.

The monsters seem to suddenly pop up to a ledge if u have climbed up to avoid them, and also in the doctors office, one of the nurses zipped down the corridor past me!

EDIT: I'm on PS3

After I got the gun and all the items in the junk shop, I saved the game and quit for the evening. The next day that I started up the game from the save point, the gun was floating in mid air a few feet to the right of me! I still had it in my inventory and Alex looked at it as I walked around, but I couldn't pick it up or interact with it. It just hung there... like a ghost! But it wasn't, it was a gun stuck in the air.

What the fuck.

The Sewer Siam glitch happened to me, I was on hard mode too!!!!

I havent even used any healing items, such a good file, fuck you silent hill

So are these bugs only in the 360 version?

yeah it would be nice to know what platform you people are playing on.

I am on the PS3 and I have encounterd the sewer glitch with the 3 needlers and a siam, as well some times after a cut scene that leads you into a fight with a enemy the enemy does not show up on screen for a few seconds. other then that I have found no other problems.

No, no, no. Fuck DoubleHelix. SH didn't do anything.

So far, PS3 has only done weird things when I kill something on a curb. Whatever is killed just kinda floats there. If that's the worst of it, I say 'Halleluia.'

As I understand it, it could be much worse- Xbox has issues with both Alex and half the fucking town disappearing into modeling space. How much of a bitch is that?

My game has frozen twice.
Once during the boat cutscene, in between that cutscene and the next one, something happened, the audio played, but the video did not. No buttons worked, including the PS button, and once the audio for the cutscene ended, nothing happened, had to restart the PS3. Just saved beforehand though, no biggie. Cutscene worked fine afterwards.
Then while exploring Silent Hill before the power plant, I explored ahead a little, and I walked up to the [spoiler]Alchemilla Hospital[/spoiler] door. Before the X OPEN option popped up, the game just froze. Didn't save recently for that one. Lost a few happy points with that one, but I'm a patient man. Second time around, I didn't go there before the Power Plant, but instead after, and it worked fine.

Unless I completely missed something, which I don't think I did, I noticed my first bug last night. While in the sewer, attempting to kill some monsters, I couldn't access any of my weapons. I had the pistol, shotgun, axe, pipe and knife and I could not get any of those. Quite frustrating.

I played the game on an XBox360 and experienced Ø glitches.
