Silent Hill 2 Update Ruined the Remake, Players Stuck – How to Avoid the Game-Breaking Glitch

The remake of Silent Hill 2 is a great game, but like many modern titles that rely on Internet updates, it can face issues when one fix causes problems elsewhere. This is exactly what happened recently with this survival horror game, as it now has a glitch preventing players from progressing beyond a certain point.

The Recent Patch for Silent Hill 2 Blocks Player Progression

Silent Hill 2 recently received patch 1.04, aimed at fixing common bugs, enhancing details, and improving overall stability. However, shortly after its release, players began reporting a serious issue. Specifically, when reaching the Labyrinth area, just after Toluca Prison and before the battle with Angela’s father, a progression error occurs that keeps certain areas locked even after fulfilling the required tasks.

This makes it impossible to proceed, and some players unfamiliar with Silent Hill 2 spent hours wandering, looking for in-game solutions, not realizing it was a glitch.

How to Avoid the Game-Breaking Glitch in Silent Hill 2

In response to complaints, Bloober Team and Konami acknowledged the issue, apologized to players, and announced they are working on a fix as quickly as possible. However, not all hope is lost, as the studio shared a workaround to prevent the notorious glitch from ruining your Silent Hill 2 save.

According to Bloober Team, the glitch in the Labyrinth happens when loading a save file created before installing patch 1.04. So, if you saved your progress in that section and then installed the update, it's certain you won’t be able to move forward unless you wait for a new update or start over. To avoid this, it is recommended to load a save file from an earlier section, as the version discrepancy between 1.03 and 1.04 won’t matter. In case you didn’t know, Silent Hill 2 allows you to save and track your progress without overwriting files.
