Talk:Silent Hill 2: Director's Cut

I looked at the original FMV files in Director's Cut and it looks like most of the video files are in a different resolution than the PC porting staff credits FMV. I took a look at the opening scene with James in the bathroom on VLC media player, and the codec information shows video file, as well as most of the other FMV files, are displayed in 640x384 at some odd aspect-ratio, and because the game was designed for 4:3 displays, the game tries to correct the empty space by letterboxing the videos. The porting staff credits FMV however is at 640x480 and doesn't have the letterboxing issue.

This, as always, may help.

And I'm still waiting for being able to upload files bigger than 2GB here.

Is that the widescreen pack or an updated 4:3 version of the FMVs? The issue I was referring was how the Widescreen Fix by ThirteenAG keeps the FMVs to 4:3 but the resolutions of most of the game's FMVs are letterboxed because of the 640x384 resolution instead of 640x480.

Oh, sorry.

In this case, why don't you just ask him? Either github or gtaforums.

Does the new fix work or is just like the old one that prevent the player from doing some in-game actions if playing at 60 frames per second? I'm obviously talking about the new fix by Thirteenag.

Can we please do something about this?

If I remember, they're ONLY on here because the remastered FMVs need to be hosted on this site.

Any progress on this?

No dice yet.

Recently I've been dabbing my hands on the European PC version of Silent Hill 2: Director's with sh2proxy so I can run this game on Windows 8.1. The page claims that the game doesn't support anisotropic filter but I've messed around with the video card settings for this game by forcing x16 anitropic filtering with x8 anti-aliasing and it looks much better than just the anti-aliasing alone. I'm not sure if sh2proxy has anything to do with that since it is meant to fix the anti-aliasing support for the game and I don't know if it'll work for the Modern Compatibility Fix for the U.S. version.

If it works for you, then I guess you may just put "hackable" in that field and mention the graphics card control panel

If controls can be remapped (at least it seems by reading input table), what's the problem?

And why crap xpadder is suggested instead?

This page is a mess, there isn't much point in talking about the fixes themselves until the page is given a cleanup.

I mean, whoever will end up cleaning the page will have to test everything again, but from what I've seen maybe someone made some confusion with the True/False values. As most Hackable entries were before marked as True so it's probably just a minor mistake.

Sure, still I don't know why you removed some points.

And besides, soeb still hasn't managed to do anything.

I just added the reason in my edit history thing.
