Woopsy my bad!

Apparently, latest Jun 7 master build makes the game playable too, but the emulator crashes when entering the main hall after room 208 in the Centennial Building.

Apparently, latest Jun 7 master build makes the game playable too, but the emulator crashes when entering the main hall after room 208 in the Centennial Building.

I confirm that this still happens with the latest build as of March 2021. The emulator crashes completely during the autosave while entering the main hall in the Centennial Building, coming from room 208. It is not possible to progress in the game.

Is there any additional info that I can provide to help with this?

[Rutjan666]

I attempted to "bypass" the normal progress of the game by entering the vault first (had to find the combination online...), let the cutscene play, but the game still crashes at the same time after room 208.

I think one can only try every new build release...

[TAMPIM]

I´m aware of this crash , long time ago i was trying to complete this game on my PC , due to this crash i couldnt : / , if theres a fix post it here please

You're in for a disappointment because as you can see discussed in a few comments above, this game crashes at a specific point and there's no way to avoid it. It seems that nobody ever completed this game and to this date the problem still hasn't been fixed, or even properly looked into.

But let us know if you have better luck.

[reikohinomoto]

Game seems to be playable past the original crash point now (Feb 17 2022 build), however frequently crashes when trying to create save data any time past that. It may be possible to finish the game now, but the shutdowns are a major inconvenience to say the least.

Hi, I just tested it, I'm still getting the crash at the usual spot.

Did you manage to get past it?

Do you have any special settings in Xenia?

How far did you go ?

Hey. I managed to get past it, yes, however I do not have anything special on my Xenia. I noticed there seems to be a 50/50 chance the game is gonna crash whenever it saves when you go into the Centennial Building, so maybe I just got lucky.

How far did you go ?

Not very. I got dragged to the Otherworld and the game kept crashing whenever I reached a checkpoint. I'm gonna test it more later, see if a new (constant) crash happens somewhere or if the issue is indeed only in the Centennial Building.

I downloaded the latest build and tried twice: still crashed.

Are you 100% sure you got past the right point? If you did manage to get past it, would you perhaps be able to share the save file with us? Maybe we can try our luck playing past that point with your save.

Oh that's a smart idea!

Yes, I'm quite sure. From what I see the crash was happening right after you entered the vault in the building, which was what was happening to me. I inserted the slides in the projector and the game crashed constantly. After trying it again with the latest build, I managed to get past that point and reach the Otherworld, but I'm sorry to say the game now crashes while trying to enter a clock-like room. Here's my save. You can try it yourself, maybe it won't crash and you'll get back to us with some great news. 4B4E0823.zip

Actually, you're not supposed to be able to enter the vault with three roman dials right after accessing the 2nd floor of the library.

The solution to the dial puzzle of the vault requires the video projector in room 207 which is accessible at this point.

But the slides required for the projector are in room 200, which is at the top right corner of the map: silent-hill-downpour-mysteres-centennial-building-008

But to get there, you need to go through Room 208 (the one with a fixed camera angle) that leads to the hall in the center of the map with an elevator.

I attempted to "bypass" the normal progress of the game by entering the vault first (had to find the combination of the three dials online...), let the cutscene play, but the game still crashes at the same time after room 208.

I suppose there is no other way to access the north part of the map, but I'll try the save file.

I'm pretty sure I did things in order. I'm not very good with the map in this SH, but I went through a lot of rooms looking for the slides, and none of them crashed. I got them eventually, which according to you are in room 200, but the game crashed as soon as I inserted the slides in the projector. I couldn't get past that point.

After seeing Xenia got a major update I tried it again. It worked. And it seemed that was where people were getting crashes. I made minor progress before it crashed again but it seemed playable. And here we are. Do try the save and get back to us. Hopefully we can all finish this game as a big collaborative effort.

[Chloroshi]

Just to be clear, the crash that reikohinomoto had been experiencing in previous builds of the emulator is not the same one that is originally discussed in this thread, which is the crash while saving going from room 208 to the main hall. According to what reikohinomoto said, his crash was when inserting the slides in the projector instead, and I'm not sure that would be a save point (I would suppose not).

I tried reikohinomoto's save and there's definitely progress past that point of the crash. Our game completion is at 25%, while his (I'm gonna go ahead and assume we are all dudes here) got progress up to 37%. However if someone is intending to skip as little gameplay as possible, there's no need to hit "continue" in the game with his save, since there's also previous save points with less game completion. The earliest one post-crash would be at 31%. When loading this save and going from room 208 to the main hall, the game does not crash, but that's probably because there's no saving taking place.

I also tried his save at 25% pre-crash, and I still crash even with his file.

I guess being able to skip the crash and play from 31% till the end is better than nothing at all, however I might sit this one out, sadly. The thing is that his game is on easy difficulty for both puzzle and game difficulty, plus his playthrough and mine are quite different in terms of quests completed. I don't know. It feels like a very broken experience. But still thank you reikohinomoto for your save file.

Long ago I spoke on discord with a new recruit on the Xenia dev team who was willing to look into this crash. I had given him my save file but he never really got back to me. I don't think he ever got around to checking this game.

I think that to fix this crash we need to get the attention of the devs. It's probably fixable if the people with the right skillset dedicate some time to it. So maybe why don't we all message them asking to take another look at this game? It's still frigging Silent Hill we are talking about, come on ;)

Hello I'm using Xenia master@0f3207d01 Mar 28 2022 [4B4E0823 v3.0] Silent Hill Downpour <Directx12 - RTV/DSV> I have this wireframe in all cutscenes on some models.

Main story playable from start to finish( i haven't done all the side quests ) using xenia-canary 91567c531( https://github.com/xenia-canary/xenia-canary/releases/tag/91567c5 ) and the following settings : license_mask = 1 use_haswell_instructions = true gpu_allow_invalid_fetch_constants = true draw_resolution_scale_x = 1 draw_resolution_scale_y = 1 render_target_path_d3d12 = "" Vsync = false vsync_interval = 16 apply_patches = true

By using resent Xenia Canary v1.0.2757-master and Game Patches I was able to continue pass projector saving point! I've played game till 18th floor and the next save point before lighting up a fire works too.

[LucasJackrabbit]

(Xenia Canary@84571f8fe Feb 17 2023 - [4B4E0823 v3.0] Silent Hill Downpour <Directx12 - RTV/DSV> ) Played from beginning to end without problems. Slight hiccup at one point with infinite loading screen, but resolved by restarting last checkpoint. Visual bug with wireframe on most characters during cutscenes still present along with foliage slight visual bug.

[BeverlyHillsCop]

Infinite Loading Screen At the 69% completion of the game right after the boss battle at the shore the game gets stuck in an endless loading screen. I've tried using previous checkpoints and coming back to the same point but it keeps repeating. I've read on the forums that this issue was happening with the OG Hardware as well and they got around this issue by moving their save files to a usb stick and playing like that. How can I get around this with canary? Can it be patched?

The garbage text on loading screens can be fixed by setting d3d12_readback_memexport to true. Now if the player icon on the map would stop randomly disappearing.

Hi, just wondering, do the player icon problem still exist? Is there any fix for this?
