Silent Hill Homecoming graphics enhancements and tweaks

Postby yamibito » Sat Sep 03, 2016 10:17 am

1. ENB series graphics enhancement patch (original location http://enbdev.com/patch_sh5_v11.htm)
2. Button Icons Replacement/ Film Grain Remover patcher (original location: https://steamcommunity.com/app/19000/di ... 320393870/)

Tip: To avoid loading screen freeze bug DO NOT use any of Windows compatibility modes and play the game with NO administrator privileges.

We shall be free; the Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
Here we may reign secure; and, in my choice,
To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven…"

I just found this fix/hack tool for SH5...

Silent Hill Homecoming PC Fix v1.0 by Steam 006

- Allow 60 FPS
- Window mode (Recommended) - didn't work for me
- Patch hard-coded 720p resolution values
- Patch the resolution of the map and items
- Up to 8x multisampling
- Force VSync in fullscreen mode

Hacks
- Wireframe mode (F2)
- Wallhack (F3)

- Controllable FOV (Page up and Page down)
- Disable DirectX fog (F1)

Other
- Fix for a common crash
- Enable DEP (Data Execution Prevention) on SilentHill.exe
- Allow the game to use 4GB of RAM
- Most of these can be configured in Silent_Hill_Homecoming_PC_Fix.ini

Instalation:
- Start the game normally and set the resolution of your monitor in the options menu. Exit the game.
- Copy all the files to "Silent Hill Homecoming\Bin" folder

For some reason it didn't work for me. Perhaps fix requires Steam version of the game. I own retail copy with few fixes applied. I'll check later if it works on freshly installed game

Edit:
Yep, i moved ENB patch files and SHHPatcher to backup folder and it works - all features, hacks etc...

Edit:
Few tests and experiments done, conclusion:
We can play SHH in higher resolution, with higher frame rate, smooth without crashes, we can change FOV, and much more. That is more than good, but...
I love all fixes and features of the ENB Series Patch :D

Didn't have time to do that before. Now i've tested it and... it's not good.
Game hungs and crashes quite often, especially during loading. Quick save doesn't work, checkpoint save worked for me only once. On screen items and aiming hud are dislocated...
