The Silent Hill 2 remake launched this week, and although it is working comparatively nicely there may be one tender lock glitch that may make it unattainable to progress with out reloading an earlier save. The glitch takes place close to the top of Brookhaven Hospital—however it may be prevented.
As noticed by Eurogamer and by many useful followers on social media, you are in a position to tender lock your sport by interacting with a porthole in a door on the third flooring of Brookhaven Hospital. This is a comparatively spoiler-free description of tips on how to keep away from tender locking.
After coming into the third flooring of Bookhaven you may have a brief cutscene trying by way of a little bit window—a porthole—in a door. Once you return to the third flooring afterward you may should be positive you manually save earlier than going by way of to the rooftop. When you’re on the opposite aspect of the door you must autosave—however ensure you don’t work together with the porthole from the opposite aspect. Simply proceed in your merry manner.
Interacting with the porthole from the fallacious aspect will teleport you to the fallacious aspect of the door, stopping you from exploring the realm you simply received to and tender locking the sport with no approach to progress. If you happen to by accident hit the button and get teleported to the fallacious aspect you must be capable of reload that autosave—however some folks cannot reload it. That is why you made that handbook save earlier than the rooftop, which ought to get you again on observe shortly.
I used to be in a position to simply replicate the tender lock utilizing a save. There is not any phrase from Bloober Workforce on how quickly this may get mounted, however because it’s simply replicated I might hope they will make the change in a hotfix quickly.
The remake of Silent Hill 2 is doing fairly nicely for itself, with developer Bloober Workforce reporting over 1,000,000 copies offered and commentators praising it for staying true to the imaginative and prescient of the unique—like how protagonist James simply is not that cool a man.
“Bloober Workforce’s remake hews intently to the unique’s excessive requirements, however often stumbles,” stated critic Kerry Brunskill within the PC Gamer Silent Hill 2 assessment. “When it is good it is glorious: any sport that hews as intently as this one does to one thing with Silent Hill 2’s excessive requirements can go toe to toe with every other fashionable horror sport. However it depends an excessive amount of on its repetitive, violent encounters.”
