I know this bug only happens in one small area (I'm pretty sure it also does this in one other apartment room but can't remember where at the moment) but it's always bothered me. To fix this for NVidia cards you need to apply the HACK DX_CONFIG_USE_VERTEX_SHADERS 0 hack as mentioned several posts above but, as also mentioned, it destroys the flashlight's visual qualities.

I've never owned an AMD GPU but it doesn't happen on the Intel HD Graphics on my laptop. What I've learned of this bug over the years: It seems to affect NVidia GPUs.

The bug makes the 'void' of this part of the level pure white (instead of pure black) making it a complete eye sore: The closet door doesn't go all the way to the top of its door trim, so the world's 'void' can be seen behind it. Here's the location of the bug (it's inside this apartment room right beside its door leading back out to the hallway): This affects both the NA and EUR versions of this PC game. This happens in the Office of the Hotel where James picks up his video tape from the safe:ħ: This 'bug' has been a personal vendetta ever since I bought the PC version of this game over a decade ago as it's stuck around all these years. Not as extreme as the cameras that are too far down but still at an enough angle for me to notice. Any way to fix the bug without compromising the flashlight's visual qualities?ĥ: Another instance of the camera being too far down happens in the Labyrinth hallway right after escaping the well by finding the hidden door:Ħ: This time there is an instance of the camera being too far up.

However, enabling that hack also reduces the flashlight's quality to that of the PS2 version (where it lights up the environment in blocky chunks instead of making a perfect round light beam). The fix for this is to use the HACK DX_CONFIG_USE_VERTEX_SHADERS 0 hack. Kind of like the flashlight is shining in both directions. The first such instance is when you first enter the Hospital in the Main Lobby of the 1st Floor:ģ: Another instance of the camera being too far down happens on the main hallways of the ALTERNATE Hospital on the 3rd Floor:Ĥ: Unrelated to the Widescreen Fix project but never hurts to ask: There's a bug in this game where when James has the flashlight on he illuminates certain objects (typically other characters/creatures) behind him. So far down that it can be difficult to navigate him. Can a script/patch be made to move the camera's X axis so many degrees to the right to put him back out of frame? I realize monitor sizes are all different so there's no one solution for this so perhaps move the camera over substantially to the right? James only appears for a brief second before the FMV starts so not seeing him at all before then isn't a big deal.Ģ: The camera is oriented very far down on James in certain areas of the Hospital. But now, with widescreen in effect, James stands there like a statue for several seconds. James' model was loaded off-camera in the fullscreen (original) version. This isn't an error caused by the widescreen fix but an unintended side effect of widening the camera. something goofed up during the rendering process for these ones.ġ: The first is when you meet Laura for the first time on the wall: There is no audio in some of the videos I made. In addition, there are other issues that are not because of nor related to the Widescreen Fix but I'd like to share them as well in case you, ThirteenAG, or anyone else has the knowledge to address them and possibly implement them into the Widescreen Fix to make it an even more comprehensive fix package. While the widescreen fix works great by and large I did notice a few quirks I'd like to share in the hopes they could be addressed. You guys are true heroes for the Silent Hill franchise on PC.

To start: Thank you for making this wonderful widescreen patch for a game that has been neglected so hard by its makers.
