Key points
- Can only run stably on a single core. Use Modern Compatibility Fix (if North American version) or sh2proxy (if European Director's Cut version). It is recommended to use the latter.
- The PC version adds improved flashlight lighting, the ability to save at any time during the game, swap weapons without opening the menu, and a movie gallery.
- The atmospheric fog and the shadowing are much simpler and less refined than the PlayStation 2 version.[1]
- Locked to 30 FPS; .exe mod allows 60 FPS.

- There are two versions, the North American version and European Director's Cut version. If the title screen lacks "Director's Cut" on it, it's the North American version. Both versions include the extra scenario Born from a Wish along with an extra UFO ending.
- Released on 3 CD-ROMs.
Essential improvements
sh2proxy
Silent Hill 2 running at 1920x1080
A D3D8 wrapper for the European Director's Cut version which allows:
- Custom resolutions and widescreen
- Windowed and borderless windowed mode.
- Fixes anti-aliasing and processor affinity.
- Allows you to use a high resolution without slowing down transition speeds.
After installing sh2proxy, you can download this optional alternate executable which disables cut-scene letterboxing: http://ps2wide.net/other/sh2pc.7z
Modern Compatibility Fix
Allows higher resolutions and easier anti aliasing application (at the cost of some glitches). Only use this for the North American version.

- Selectable resolutions do not go up all the way to 4k, enabling GeDoSaTo or Nvidia DSR does not affect the list. Selecting a higher resolution than your monitor's crashes the game.
60 FPS hack
With a hex editor such as HxD:
find 6A 00 6A 1E 50 51 // 1E = 30 fps replace 6A 00 6A 3C 50 51 // 3C = 60 fps
Please note that the hack hasn't been tested thoroughly.
Remastered corrected widescreen FMVs
- NOTE: "ending.bik" may need to be renamed "end.bik", or you may receive a "insert a disc" message in the ending.
