Silent Hill 2 Patch 1.06 Fails to Fix PS5 Pro Problems

Bloober Team has today released a new update for Silent Hill 2 that intends to fix the issues the title is facing when it is played on PS5 Pro. It's available to download now and weighs in at 517.1 MB, but it appears that anyone playing on the new upgraded console shouldn't get their hopes up too much for the update to completely solve everything. The testing done by users after installing the update reveals there are still graphical issues with the build.

For example, Twitter user @yrlak responded to the tweet announcing the update with a video of constant flickering and image blotches in an interior environment. Then, on Reddit, it's described how the opening area just outside of Silent Hill still features flickering in puddles and an "annoying shimmer" in reflective surfaces. "The base PS5 still produces a more stable image," claimed user erimiz687.

It's agreed this is a better version of Silent Hill 2 for PS5 Pro users with patch 1.06 applied, but the frame rate still appears temperamental and graphical glitches remain an issue. It looks like another PS5 Pro-specific update will be required to get the survival horror game in an optimal state. You can find the rest of the patch notes below.
