The Silent Hill 2 Remake bought its first massive patch yesterday, one which aimed to assist curb a few of poor James’ glitchy shenanigans. Sadly, it appears to be like prefer it’s additionally triggered an uptick in cases of a progress-blocking bug that Bloober seems to already be investigating.
Should you missed the patch dropping, you could find out the entire stuff it did right here, with the bunch of James fixes I alluded to being accompanied by another tweaks and totally different efficiency enhancements for PS5 and PC.
Unfortuntely, because the patch was deployed, numerous gamers throughout each of these platforms have taken to Reddit and Twitter to relay that they’ve now gotten caught on the level within the recreation’s Labyrinth part that sees you might have remedy a puzzle involving a dice, with stated puzzle now seemigly not doing what it ought to (thanks, Eurogamer).
