How to play Silent Hill in 2024 (4K+ & 60fps)

A few additional tweaks you may want to make use of :-)
• Under Enhancements - Force 4:3 for 24-bit Display (This shrinks cutscenes down to their original 4:3 aspect ratio)
• Under Display - Setting the Crop to All Borders and the Position to Center can fix a little black sliver on the right side of the screen (hardly noticeable, but I figured it'd be worth mentioning)
PGXP Settings WILL cause the game to freeze/hang/crash at the following locations/events:
• Upon completing Piano puzzle in Midwich
• Upon entering School Bus near Midwich
• Inside Bridge Control to East Silent Hill
• Upon entering Church to meet Dahlia
• Cutscene where Harry uses the Flauros
You MUST briefly disable all PXGP settings in order to progress!
If you don't see the 60fps code for whatever reason, you can manually enter it using the ADD CODE button or import it using the file at this link:

Let me be clear. I don't know ANYTHING about computers at ALL. In less than an hour and while stoned off my gourd I was able to install everything I needed, map my controller, and start playing. Insane. Thank you so much.

For anyone still having issues with the game freezing in the church, try ticking the disable all enhancements option in Duckstation's advanced menu. It allowed the game to continue the cutscene temporarily.

This game is not designed with widesceeen in mind and I don't believe that panning out the view along with stretched UI assets is really "definitive", also turning off dithering absolutely blows out the intended look, I'd rather have the color depth lowered.

It's because of the PGXP correction setting, he mentions it as he enables it

@TheSteelStallion Ай бұрын

@@unsavourylittlerunt Can't just be that. The church crash happens for me regardless of those settings being turned on. I'm thinking it's something else he happened to have disabled and thought it was PGXP. EDIT: For anyone having issue still, once the paused/freeze happens, try heading to the advanced options for Duckstation and ticking the disable all enhancements entry. For me, it completely unpaused it and allowed the cutscene to continue.

@TheSteelStallion Ай бұрын

@@unsavourylittlerunt Yeah, in my case I found the PGXP toggling wasn't working regardless of what it was set to aswell. It's like it wasn't reading the config file correctly. After updating Duckstation and using the toggle hotkey method just now, it seems to be doing the trick. Tested it out on the bridge control room which is a guaranteed freeze once you walk up to the window. Thank goodness for emulator save states because this would 100x more frustrating than it currently is.

I’ve used most of your settings except overclocking and 60fps, selecting 60fps killed a full screen mode by creating black frame all around. And the only way to get rid of it was to reinstall duckstation. On my laptop PGXP doesn’t make game to freeze is an aspect ratio, so I have to switch back to Auto Game Native before some cutscenes and then I can go back to Full Screen mode again. Otherwise the game will freeze.

Man I'd just like a video on how to make it look as "bad" as possible.

Oh well, I guess I'll have to work it out myself, regardless good guide on how to make it look as good as possible.

@danthompsett2894 Ай бұрын

the auto window aspect ratio setting no longer exsists instead i set a custom aspect ratio 32:9 to get my 3840x1080 resolution on full screen, its nice to see that wobble, distortion is gone and it running at 50fps, i tried to disable the PAL mode (under emulation/emulation speed) but then the game would run way to fast. manged to get to run 62fps on 125% of emulation speed NTSC 75fps PAL 62fps setting + it runs on Vulkan Api, set on Auto it defaults to DX11, ive always preferred Vulkan as it usually gives the best frame rates with minimum impact on the GPU and CPU.
