However, there is a slight inconvenience that has not allowed them to advance, and that is a problem when wanting to run with current processors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition (PC) - Update Video #8\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LylafxQta9w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, the bug points to the game&#8217;s audio streaming engine, which doesn&#8217;t like multi-core CPUs, and basically all computers use one now.  The glitch would start with certain audio skipping, followed by the game crashing.  To fix this we rebuilt the audio streaming engine from scratch so it doesn&#8217;t cause any issues on multi-core CPUs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, the most recent update of <\/span><b>Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as detailed in the video at the top of these paragraphs. It also brought a series of other improvements, such as increasing the quality of the FMV scenes, something difficult to do, since these are defined in a single resolution and definition, so that working with them implies entering the code to modify everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, there is the drawback that there is no possible way to play <\/span><b>Silent Hill 2<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  in digital format.  And the physical edition costs quite a bit of money on the used game market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Via: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/silent-hill-2-pc-glitch-fixed-by-modders\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VG247<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3OKxtvs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-531025\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.atomix.vg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Pleca-Amazon-OK-300x53.jpg\" alt=\"Pleca-Amazon-OK\" width=\"300\" height=\"53\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.atomix.vg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Pleca-Amazon-OK-300x53.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.atomix.vg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Pleca-Amazon-OK-320x57.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.atomix.vg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Pleca-Amazon-OK.jpg 324w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/es_LA\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3&appId=1524599504422808\";\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, Silent Hill two and the franchise in general have become classics and have been reevaluated over time, which is why many new fans want to take a look at the franchise.
