Labyrinth progress bug introduced by new patch

[Vixx]

The cube puzzle in the labyrinth is broken from patch 1.04.

I'd recommend not playing until this is sorted out.

So, does this only occur if you have a save from an older version during the labyrinth and then load up that save post-update? Or do you have to do the full labyrinth in one shot? I'm confused.

An older save from any point prior in the game.

If you're about to kick off a fresh playthrough, you'll (probably be okay) – if you're partway through, I'd hold off playing for now.

Probably best to not download the patch at all if you haven't. The base version of the game outside of a softlock at the hospital and a few performance issues ain't bad.

Anyway, Bloober knows and is on it.

They released a new patch that apparently fixes this.

1.05 details

"A new Hotfix (1.05) for SILENT HILL 2 is now available!

A few other visual changes are reported to have been made?

Changes to Maria's clothes, head size and bust, plus lighting changes, slight camera angle alterations, sound effect changes etc.







Video here details more cutscene changes. Most notably the fire in Angela's cutscene. Beware cutscene spoilers in the video if you want to avoid those.

Those changes aren't anything to do with Patch 1.05 - Patch 1.05 only introduced cloud save and Labyrinth fix.

I can personally confirm that since patch 1.05 I have gone through the game 3 times start to finish. I haven't experienced any game breaking bugs. The labyrinth cube is working just fine.
HOWEVER! I have not played from a 1.04 patch save file. So I don't know if it works when loading one or if it will still be corrupted.

Looks like another patch for Pro enhancements is on it's way.


UPDATE: While Pro-Enhanced is being labelled on the game, this is misleading for the time being as the game has no official Pro patch yet.

There are reports of numerous games having visual issues on the Pro, and SH2 isn't spared.

You might want to wait before playing this on the Pro console if this is an issue for you.

Bloober is working on it.
