Silent Hill: Townfall Patch 1.4.0 Reduces File Size, Now Available on PS5 and Windows PC
--
TAME OTONITY – Patch 1.4.0 (v1.5.154194) is now available for *Silent Hill: Townfall*, an update that reduces the strength of the enemy *The Weight* and increases its intelligence. Other changes in this patch include making enemies less sensitive to sound and adding hints for the game’s final puzzle.
As a reminder, The Weight is the main enemy that stalks Simon in certain areas of the map. Its behavior at launch typically placed it in the same area as Simon and caused it to linger outside doors, forcing players to wait a long time before it turned away and let them pass. If caught by The Weight, it would deliver an instantly lethal attack.
However, with Patch 1.4.0, The Weight no longer lingers outside objectives for long periods, and Konami has made its pursuit less aggressive. It will also stop repeatedly searching and remain in the same area.

However, the biggest change may lie in its attacks. In Story and Normal modes, The Weight will only deal heavy damage instead of instantly killing Simon.
Other gameplay and puzzle design improvements include a manual for the Remote Control System, as well as a reduction in enemy sensitivity to sound. Players have more time to react to enemies after breaking free from a grapple, and enemies (except for The Weight) can no longer attempt to grapple players once they’ve parried with a melee weapon.
There are also several graphical improvements and bug fixes. This patch should reduce lag and improve frame pacing, as well as add some missing shortcut keys for the AZERTY keyboard. A complete list of changes is available on the Konami website.
