Some fans were disappointed when Silent Hill 2 Remake came out as James is glowing in the game, something that makes him feel a bit out of place. Well, good news everyone as there is a mod that removes the fake “hero” light from both James and Maria.

But let me explain what’s happening here. You see, Bloober Team has used a fake “hero” light behind James for visibility purposes. From a gameplay perspective, this is a clever move. However, as I said, this fake light makes James and Maria glow in the dark. This can break the game’s overall immersion.

So, if you’re not playing the game in the dark, I suggest staying away from the mod. While it will improve game immersion, it will make it even more difficult to see what’s happening on screen. If, on the other hand, you play the game in the dark, you should use it.

You can download the mod from this link. This mod removes the “hero” light from both James and Maria. There is also another mod that can remove or reduce the “hero” light behind James. So, if you do not care about Maria, you can use that one as it comes with minimal and mid versions of the “hero light” (which look amazing IMO).

Speaking of Silent Hill 2, Bloober Team hasn’t released any patch for it as of yet. As I’ve already said, there isn’t ANY mod that can reduce or fix the game’s traversal stutters. However, there are some cool mods that you can try. For instance, you can enable NVIDIA Ray Reconstruction for better visuals. You can also remove the 30fps cap from the in-engine cutscenes. And then we have the DLSS 3 Frame Generation Mod. Oh, and if you are not interested in a paid mod, you can force AMD FSR 3.0 Frame Generation. Just use the guide from this article to enable it. Finally, you can download two mods to improve the 3D models of Angela and Maria.

Stay tuned for more!
