Hi. so the game worked fine until I got the submachine gun, after that all my ammo dissapeared. I googled it and found out the problem is that the game changes the ammo limit in the game folders but I can't find the specific folder to change the setting from 1 to 0

After I ran sh3 a second time with this mod, windows antivirus detected "Program:Win32/Wacapew.C!ml" with the affected items being Silent_Hill_3_PC_Fix.dll. I looked online and apparently it can be either really bad or not bad at all to have on your pc. Windows even says that it can trigger antivirus false positives.  I just wanted to post it here for potential future people who experience this

Setting 1440x1080 works for me but I'm on a Nvidia GPU maybe it's different for AMD.

Windows 11 update KB5064081 (August 29, 2025 Preview) have broken FMV playback in Silent Hill 3, they play corrupted.

I noticed recently when I boot up the game the opening FMV is super saturated. I've never had this issue before. I'm questioning if it has to do with new NVIDIA graphics updates or something? Super strange though. Game always worked perfectly, just booted it up one day and it looked like this. Is there any fix to this?

(Edit, I don't know how to delete this comment but I just saw now that "Windows 11 KB5064081 update (August 29, 2025 Preview)" has caused this)

Heads up, for some reason using "XInput Plus" with the "ReplaceMoviePlayer" shows a black screen instead of the FMV, to fix it do the same steps as the fix for the Audio Enhancement Pack crashes, by going into XInputPlus.ini and set UseInitBeep=FALSE
