Silent Hill 2's PS5 Pro patch is another update with big image quality issues


A PS5 Pro patch that has issues not seen on the standard PS5? Silent Hill 2 needs some work, says Digital Foundry.

A month after its October release, frame-rate drops still detract from the base PS5 experience - in both its 60fps performance and 30fps quality modes - all of which makes the prospect of new hardware fixing the issue rather compelling. Essentially, by reverting its PSSR approach back to the base PS5's TSR method, all the issues with image break-up on reflections, the visual noise on shadows, are fixed. Likewise, the 30fps quality mode sees a downgrade in stability for the same reason while running from disc - the DRS adjustments bring back those single dropped frames, which the PS5 Pro patch clears up.
