Silent Hill 3 is a singleplayer cinematic camera and third-person survival horror game in the Silent Hill series.

Silent Hill 3 HD Collection Voice Pack
- Ports voices from the HD Collection to the PC version.[9]
- Requires Reloaded II.
- Has an online updater.
- Compatible with Steam006's fix and the Audio Enhancement Pack.
- Includes higher resolution FMVs from the HD Collection.
Issues unresolved
Forcing anti-aliasing
- If using anti-aliasing (MSAA, at least), the depth of field effect becomes corrupted (halos around objects).[citation needed]
- Post-process AA (FXAA, MLAA) works as intended (best compatibility in conjunction with the D3D9-11 wrappers).
Issues fixed
Motion trails
- The light sources affected by bloom leave long dark motion trails on screen when camera is moving.
Turn Off Fullscreen Smoothing Filter[citation needed] |
---|
Notes
|
Frame rate fluctuation between 30 and 60 FPS
- This solution and the other ones won't work properly with low FPS. Minimum frame rate must be at least 50 FPS.[10]
