PC game
Hiiiii, this is more than likely in the wrong bit, but dammit I got confused!
It's a PC issue...but about SH2...but it's not relevant to the SH2 story...but it regards SH2...
Anyway, I just got SH2 on the PC and a wee problem arose. It all runs fine, apart from it glitches a tiny bit here and there. Main problemo is, when a cutscene kicks in, the audio runs at normal pace but the video is slooow and so the characters stop their conversation but the video will still be running. Looks like a mime act!
Some smartass will say "Well buy a PS2 or an XBox and quit whining!" and all I have to say is...Bite me
Anyhoo, any PC wizards out there wanna help? It's probably something simple like lower the resolution or something but I wouldnt know how to do that

It's gotta be his card. I used to have a Radeon 9800 PRO (i loved this card) but I fried it and had to get a new card. Staples only had old cheap cards so I got a 9550. Silent Hill 2, 3 and 4 ran perfectly on my 9800 Pro but on my 9550 the sound is out of sync with the graphics & the graphics lag every now and then. I guess you could try turning down hardware acceleration but the best thing is to just get a faster card.

I had the problem with the cutscenes with my very old G-force 2(I think,it is very old),and my currently Radeon 9200.The sound was just a little bit faster that the video(it was funny when James is talking with his mouth closed,how does he do that?).
Anyway,it shouldn't ruin the game experience.It didn't upset me at all

I discovered something just now. I got a new graphics card called ATI Radeon x1600 Pro 512 MB and all my games ran quick and on high settings but when I got to SH2 I had a few problems. I had graphic glitches where a lot of the picture was black and the sound was out of sync with the picture. I run my card with temporal anti-alising, anisotropic filtering and adaptive anti-aliasing to make everything pretty but just figured out that is the culprit. Turn off anti-alising and adaptive anti-aliasing and the game should run fine.
note: not only do i have a radeon graphics card but also an Audigy 2 soundcard so my picture and sound syncs real good but if you only have a graphics card and use onboard audio then you might still be out of sync a little...i don't know

It's quite annoying
But since it's only slow during the cutscenes, I just live with it

I haven't had any problems with any SH gamelike this....
If you are using on-board sound instead of a decent sound card that will definetly have some issues.
Turn off antialiasing(if you have it on) and see if that helps.
I have played all SH games with no problems on GF 4 ti4400, GF 6 6600gt, and my 7900GT.
