Silent Hill 2's Patch 1.04 Fixes James' Weird Teleportation Issues

Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 remake defied expectations, perfectly nailing the creepy atmosphere of the original while applying their own spin on the survival horror classic. But as wonderful as was, it launched with a few bugs and glitches across PlayStation 5 and PC. 

While for this reviewer, there were very few bugs to contend with, others weren't so lucky. Some players reported protagonist James Sunderland teleporting to areas he wasn't supposed to access too early in the game. A stressful ordeal, and not just for James. The issue was with a certain peephole on a door in Brookhaven Hospital. If James interacted with it from the wrong angle, there was a chance he would be teleported to the otherside, locking progression.

But Konami and Bloober Team have rolled out the game's first major patch, 1.04, which aims to fix a lof of the glitches and bugs that players have been experiencing across PS5 and PC. 

Silent Hill 2 Patch 1.04 Notes

Aside from James' bout of teleportation in Brookhaven Hospital, the patch also addresses:

• An issue where breaking windows near Neely’s Bar got James stuck in the window frame.
• An issue that allowed James to access the inaccessible balcony in Blue Creek Apartments.
• An issue with Abstract Daddy’s behavior during boss fight where the enemy was not hitting James properly.
• Multiple issues with Abstract Daddy’s 3rd TV – it should now have the correct audio, and the wall won’t interfere with its position.
• An issue with a question mark from the Conference Room not disappearing after obtaining Cinderella figurine in Lakeview Hotel.
• An issue with collision detection with the Dayroom walls in Brookhaven Hospital.
• An issue where James was falling under the map when approaching Laura entering Brookhaven Hospital from the bushes on the left.
