Silent Hill 2: Difference between revisions

|Comments=Original release, game runs at a constant 60fps, 100% speed. Both the Angela FMV in Blue Creek and meeting Maria in Rosewater Park hang without speedhacks for about ten seconds, after recovery the game appears to slow down as it tries to synchronize audio/visuals for several seconds before the FMVs can run properly for the remainder of time they have. The only way to get rid of the hanging is EE Cyclerate to -2 or set it to -1 and EE Cycle Skipping 1, theoretically, Fast CDVD should help with the issue but I haven't seen any consistent improvement from having the option enabled. You must quickly switch off the speedhacks after the FMV is finished because this will make certain sections lag uncontrollably, especially on Hard Mode with tons of monsters on screen, which may make it unplayable for some people. Skipping the hanging cutscenes in the window of time before they hang will cause issues later down the line, such as unsynced audio, the Flesh Lips cutscene will play music before it has to as an example. The hanging problems stopped manifesting after I beat the game a few times to get all the endings, which suggests NG+ fixes the issue for some unknowable reason. I experienced a glitch where the moths in Woodside Apartment wouldn't show up once. There is also the fact that the status screen goes black whenever you look at a memo or access the option menu, this is only fixed using Software Mode, but SW makes the flashlight glitch out completely. Additionally, using anything other than Bilinear (PS2) can make the pause screen move around and blur. The game is fully playable, but proper emulation is still hectic.
