silent hill homecoming patch v11 - Fixed Sound but screwed graphics

[KiwiDaniel]

I had the delayed sound, no NPC voices etc, but had background music

 

I tried turning off all sound but Master & voices but that didn't help.

I disassociated winamp from ogg files (Now associated with wmp) then I downloaded the silent hill homecoming patch v11

it fixed the sound completely :thumbsup: but it screwed my graphics up.

 

I can easily live with the acid popping landscape, but my pipboy is totally blank.

Is there a way to disable the graphic's part of the patch while keeping the sound?

 

Thanks for any help, suggestions etc

*Edit Dragon Age Origins, FO3 all work great

I'm having the same problem. I tried different d3d9.dlls out there, and this is the only one that fixes the sound bug, but some of the others fix the graphics problems.

 

When I go indoors with this problem, it seems about half the textures are simply not loading. If I got 3rd person, my avatars textures blink in and out as I move around. I'm wondering if its trying to multithread the graphics more than my card can handle?

The indoor graphics happened to me to, but I maxed out the distance for everything (Actor's, tree's grass etc) & it fixed the indoor problem 99% of the time.

 

removing the ATI & Nvidia folders didn't change anything.

I'm guessing that altering the settings in the enbseries.ini file would fix the graphics? but I have no clue what most of the settings mean

I have the same goddamn problem ... homecoming patch fixes the sound problem but makes the video problem.
