SILENT HILL: The Short Message on AnyPS5

Updated

SILENT HILL: The Short Message reaches gameplay on Windows main with APS5_STORE_AT_FLIP=1. The source describes moving the camera, walking and opening doors; the same build without that setting crashes at its title menu in the reported warm-cache tests.

Windows: a specific storage-write workaround

The SILENT HILL update uses main f1af6c591, content version 01.000.001, a Ryzen 9 9950X3D and RTX 5090 with NVIDIA 617.42 on Windows 11. Two runs with the setting reached gameplay, and one exceeded 70,000 frames without stopping.

The author measured about 45 FPS in the warm menu, but did not record the gameplay rate in these two runs. The older 8.6 FPS figure belongs to another revision. A later RTX 2080 SUPER report also encountered loading stalls on a different main build, so the workaround should not be treated as a guarantee across systems.

Keep this dump's APS5_PLAYGO_UNLISTED_CHUNKS=absent setting with AnyPS5 setup. Return to AnyPS5 games for other configurations.
