Silent Hill 2 Remake: SH2 Essentials Mod Increases Up To +31% Performance

Expert Verified By

Better Performance With Just A Little Sacrifice!

Silent Hill 2 Remake is a horror game developed by Team Silent and published by Konami. The latest mod, SH2 Essentials, significantly improves the game’s performance, bringing up to 31% performance to the PC Remake.

When comparing the fighting in the two games, we found that the game significantly improved the graphics and even the gameplay, while yet retaining the essence and suffocating fog of the original. Silent Hill 2 Remake is not flawless, though, and one of its main flaws is that it has frequent FPS decreases.

Why it matters: The Bloober team put much effort into the Silent Hill 2 remake. Although the appearance of the characters and enemies was altered, most of the alterations were for the better, and the Silent Hill 2 Remake ended up being far better than we expected.

Eliminating stuttering entirely from the Silent Hill 2 Remake necessitates significant compromises, resulting in a game that only operates at 30 frames per second.

For this, there is a mod on Nexus Mods called SH2 Essentials that can increase the frame rate by up to 31% with almost little graphical quality loss or up to 54% if we are prepared to lose graphics. You can download the Mod from Nexus Mods.

To accomplish all of this, the Unreal Engine 5 graphics engine has been modified in a number of ways that directly impact the game. Among the adjustments are the removal of effects like SSR that cause visual artefacts in the game, a decrease in ghosting, particularly when moving leaves are involved, and faster loading times.

The quality of all rescaling systems has also been increased, and Frame Generation has been provided as an option. If we compare the original game to the mod version, we can see that the left one is the original game, and the right one is the mod version.

These images clearly show the difference with our naked eyes: the chromatic aberration and depth of field of the original game have been eliminated, and sharpness has been greatly increased. You can download different presets for the game according to your needs.
