Silent Hill 2 Remake Developer Responds to Game-Breaking Labyrinth Bug
Most players noted they completedSilent Hill 2 Remake’s Toluca Prison puzzlebefore moving on to the bugged cube challenge in the Labyrinth, and the devs briefly explained why this hindrance occurred. It was noted that the progression block occurred when players loaded saved data from the Labyrinth level created before applying the 1.04 patch. PlayStation 5 users previously shared a temporary fix to be used with caution, which involved turning off the internet connection and the console’s automatic updates until the bug is fixed.
The Labyrinth level’s rotating cube puzzle is an easier challenge compared toSilent Hill 2 Remake’s hardest puzzles, making the bug even more frustrating for players keen to progress. James will encounter the cube after arriving in the center of the Labyrinth level, and spinning the green block opens up a crossroads area leading to different sections. Once the puzzle is solved, players can access the Rotten Area, the Desolate Area, and the Ruined Area.
