SH:H PC sound lag

Post by Sionnan »

Anybody else have this problem? At first, the intro cutscene would hang up and start repeating the same sounds, and then keep going for a few seconds, and then hang.

I downloaded this patch: http://boris-vorontsov.narod.ru/download_en.htm , which got me through the cutscene.

Now my problem is the sound cutting out when I make Alex walk. It'll cut out for a few seconds, and resume. It's more annoying than anything, but Silent Hill is a game that relies pretty heavily on sound, so it takes away from the game.

Anybody have any ideas?

Step one: Make sure you're soundcard is up to date
Step two: If that doesn't help, search online for a 'trusted' fan patch dealing with sound. As I was just informed yesterday, there are several patches out. Just make sure you get it from somewhere turstable and scan it with an antivirus program first :)

Sorry, no :( I haven't looked in to any of them yet. I was so put off by the graphics last night, that after the game went all wonkie, I didn't really care much to bother looking for one XD But if I find one before you look for one, I'll let you know :)

Hmm, I've looked around, but I've found no patches, but a lot of people with fixes that work only for a few people. :/

You found anything?

Aha!

Finally found the best answer- for my problem, anyway.

The ENB Series patches aren't necessarily a total upgrade from one another. So, version 11 might not be the best for a particular person. That, and you can mix and match different pieces of the different patches to come out with the best results.

For me, I downloaded the v. 9 patch, which fixed the sound completely for me. Then I used the graphics and shaders from patch 11 to take care of most of the weird graphics glitches.

So basically, don't be afraid to get creative with the patches, because more likely than not, they'll end up working in the end with some tinkering.
