Silent Hill 2 Remastered’s first big patch was released yesterday, designed to help curb some of poor James’ glitches. Unfortunately, it also appears to have resulted in an increase in instances of progress-blocking errors that Bloober appears to be investigating.
If you missed the patch release, you can find everything it does here, which includes a bunch of James fixes I mentioned, as well as some other tweaks and different performance improvements for PS5 and PC.

Unfortunately, since the patch was deployed, many players on both platforms have taken to Reddit and Twitter to report that they are now stuck in the maze portion of the game, seeing that you’ve solved a puzzle involving a cube. , now said puzzle doesn’t seem to be doing what it’s supposed to do (thanks, Eurogamer).
This is a pretty big problem from a gameplay perspective, as it stops you from progressing and traps you in a maze forever, which is obviously a bit frustrating. A few people have shared potential workarounds on Reddit, but other than that, it seems like you’ll just have to wait for Bloober to deploy a patch.
Thankfully, the studio is taking this seriously. “We are aware that some players may be experiencing an issue in Silent Hill 2’s maze level following the release of the latest 1.04 patch, which was released on October 21st,” it reads in the Steam announcement. “If you downloaded the game from This blocker may occur when loading save data in: Maze levels created before patch 1.04 was applied (after Toluca Prison).
“Our team has discovered this issue and is implementing a fix. The fix will be released as soon as possible. For now, we would like to propose a temporary workaround of using an earlier save before entering the maze. We sincerely apologize for any concerns caused by this Sorry for the inconvenience, we sincerely thank all players for their patience.”
So, that’s it, calm down. Or, if you’re not in the mood to try workarounds and are on PC, you can start a new game as Walking Flesh. Yes, try to forget about Pyramid Head’s toned physique and say hello to “Meatball Sunderland,” a textured model that turns James’ head and torso into a big meaty blob with his arms and legs protruding from it . It’s perfect for the horror movie Humpty Dumpty.
“I made a mistake while modding the game and created this freak,” reads a one-line description from modder WindowBreakerCharlie. I think they’re a little hard on themselves. This is art.
