SILENT HILL F: Fix for Visual Distortion? (Fix)
Short answer
The only solution is to set the in game fps cap to 60fps with vsync. Game needs some patches pretty badly.
How to fix it
Cap the in‑game framerate to 60 FPS
- Open the Silent Hill f options menu.
- Find the FPS limit setting and change it from “max” (or uncapped) to 60.
Enable V‑Sync
- In the same options menu, turn V‑Sync on. This synchronises the frame output with your monitor and stops the rapid flickering.
Adjust DLSS settings
- If you are using DLSS, switch it off or change it to DLAA (the DLSS 4 overwrite option in the NVIDIA Control Panel can be set to the latest version, then select DLAA in the game).
- This removes the upscaling‑related visual glitches that often appear when the camera is turned sharply.
(Optional) Enable “Smooth Motion”
- Some players report that turning on Smooth Motion helps, though it may add a small amount of input lag.
- Enable it if you still notice occasional distortion after the previous steps.
If it still doesn’t work
- Verify that the game is fully updated; the issue is known to need a patch.
- Try running the game in windowed or borderless window mode instead of full‑screen.
- Disable any third‑party overlays (recording software, Discord, etc.) that might interfere with the rendering pipeline.
- Test the game without any NVIDIA‑specific features (e.g., G‑Sync, Reflex) to see if they are contributing to the problem.
What players reported
When I turn the camera in certain angles and place the game just goes wild and flickers between to a normal and smaller image of my current visual. Setting is set to max, borderless, DLSS quality. On a 4070, ryzen 7600, 32 gb ram.

dlss often causes visual issues, could be that. try turning that off and see if its any better.

had the same graphical glitches/ghosting issue because the game uses mandatory upscaling. however, a fellow player on the forum here came up with a fix and it worked for me. here is what I did: - cap game to 60 (ingame) - set DLSS 4 overwrite to latest version in the NV app - overwrite DLSS setting to DLAA - enable smooth motion (it doubles the fps but introduces some input lag as usual but not…
