Just want to share my little
aspect ratio fix for
Silent Hill 3 for people who use steam big picture or do not have access to numpad during gameplay etc. There is a similar fix on wsgf but windows defender marks it as dangerous file so i didnt bother with it(maybe there are other tools like that i am not aware of).
Just put launcher.exe in directory with your sh3.exe file and start game from it. If launcher does not work try to install vcredist files which are in archive with the tool. You can add this launcher to steam etc. I haven't tested this thing much but i was able to finish game on 16:9 display with no visible issues.
FOV values are hardcoded( i am awful with C++, sorry about that lol ) to three screen aspect ratios: 16:9( 0.9 and 1.2), 16:10( 0.91 and 1.1 ), 21:9( 0.68 and 1.2 ) and in other cases it uses default values.
Absolutely no idea if values are correct for last two. In case of 16:10 i found those values in some random thread online and in case of 21:9 i just tried to find something that feels somewhat right. ...¯\_(ツ

Tool checks your windows main display resolution and calculates fov values based on that data. Let me know if this thing works for someone else or if fov values are not correct!
Also i had no idea that Silent Hill games( tried with SH3 and SH4 )
support force feedback on PC! I am using XInput controllers(X1, X360) and vibration works perfectly if you install
this tool( i am not an author just cant find original link right now )
There also was issue with Silent Hill 4 on Windows 10. Screen would flicker like crazy if you launch game in fullscreen mode. Not sure if it is fixed now( there was quite a few updates to W10 since last time i played it ) but i think i had to use homemade fix for that as well. Might be able to dig it out if someone needs it.
Hi guys. I'm getting this laptop.
http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16834315131&cm_re=core_i5-5200u-_-34-315-131-_-Product on Friday and I'm wondering if it'll be able to run at least Silent Hill 2 and 3 smoothly with all the added settings in the thread. I don't remember the specs of my current laptop but it's able to run Silent Hill 2 pretty decently without all this added stuff but 3 only ran ok at best. There were many dips in the framerate.
It should be fine if you lock your framerate to 30. I am not able to hold 60 in this game and i have 6700k and 970 in SLI lol.
