Silent Hill 2 EE won't launch

[ZimSan]

When trying to launch Silent Hill 2 Enhanced Edition I get this message

---

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error! Program: D:\Games\Silent Hill 2\sh2pc.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

If you temporarily remove dsound.dll and dsoal-aldrv.dll from the game's directory, does it launch for you then?

[ZimSan]

Nope

[Polymega]

Can you please attach your d3d8.log file? Here is how you can enable known file extension types.

[Polymega]

Thanks. You should be fine to play dsound.dll and dsoal-aldrv.dll back into the game folder. We'll probably need to get Elisha's feedback on this error.

[ZimSan]

When can I expect to get feedback approximately?

[elishacloud]

Can you try temporarily removing or renaming the d3d8.dll file and see if the game will start after that?

[ZimSan]

It runs but without the EE features

[elishacloud]

Ok, go ahead and put d3d8.dll back and try using the following ini file: d3d8.zip. This will just disable all settings to see if the issue is one of the settings of the module.

[ZimSan]

Didn't work. I got the error again

[elishacloud]

Can you attach the new log file as an attachment?

Try using the default settings from the SH2EEconfig.exe tool.

[ZimSan]

Seems to be working now, thanks! What was the issue though?

[ZimSan]

Thanks for the help again!

[Polymega]

I'm curious as to what was the cause as well! But I wanted to chime in that your game looks a bit dark. You can bump the brightness up in the game's Options > Advanced Options menu. (Level 3 is default.)

[elishacloud]

That build just disables the logging of the files in the folder. Would you mind troubleshooting this with me?

Can you test this build and let me know if it works?: d3d8.zip

[ZimSan]

Seems to be working still

[elishacloud]

Ok, thanks. Can you try with these two and see if they both work for you?

• d3d8-1.zip
• d3d8-2.zip

[ZimSan]

Both seem to work fine.

[elishacloud]

Ok, thanks for the help. One more test. Can you try these two updates and let me know if both of these work?

• d3d8-3.zip
• d3d8-4.zip

[ZimSan]

d3d8-3.zip file brought the problem back before asking for an update d3d8-4.zip solved the problem again

[elishacloud]

Ok, go ahead and use d3d8-4.zip. It is a complete build.
