About

DownpourRecomp is a PC port of Silent Hill: Downpour that the README says lets you play natively on Windows in 1080p at 60 FPS with keyboard and mouse, with no emulator required. It is built with the ReXGlue SDK and the README lists the current release as v1.1.8.

Getting started

The README says a first-run disc-image installer lets you point it at your own ISO, and it extracts everything itself. Launch PlayDownpour.exe to run it; existing v1.1.x installs update in place and keep saves and settings.

Known issues & limitations

  • Ultrawide is not aspect-corrected and displays a stretched 16:9 image.
  • DoF disable is still unresolved.
  • In-game audio volume sliders are still queued.
  • Looped ambience loses its last 192 samples on each loop.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game (Xbox 360 version).

  • You need a legally owned Xbox 360 copy of the game.

Features

  • Provides a standalone launcher and an in-game F4 settings overlay.
  • Includes local achievements with unlock toasts and an F7 list.
  • Supports DualSense over USB and Bluetooth, with Level-1 adaptive triggers enabled by default.

How to install

  1. Download the latest release zip.
  2. Extract the zip somewhere with read/write access.
  3. On first run, select your ISO or extracted assets tree and provide the Title Update file, or let the installer download TU1.

Controls

  • Move with W, A, S, and D.
  • Control the camera with the mouse.
  • Attack with LMB and block with RMB.
  • Run or sprint with Shift.
  • Interact or select with E.
  • Open the journal with Tab and the pause menu with Esc.
  • Open the settings overlay with F4, achievements with F7, and diagnostics with F3.

FAQ

What is Silent Hill: Downpour Recompilation?
Silent Hill: Downpour Recompilation is an open-source recompilation of Silent Hill: Downpour. The original game's compiled code translated into a native program for a new platform, usually a PC port. The original game ran on Xbox 360.
Do I need the original game files to run Silent Hill: Downpour Recompilation?
Yes. The project does not include the original game's assets, so you need your own copy.
How is Silent Hill: Downpour Recompilation licensed?
project: BSD 3-Clause (Host-side source). The repository itself is the authoritative source.
Is this an emulator?
No. The Xbox 360 instructions are converted to native x86-64 code at build time, producing a Windows executable.
Why isn't the game executable included?
Including the game's binary or data would be copyright infringement; bring the ISO or XEX from your legally owned Xbox 360 copy.
Does mouse and keyboard work?
Yes. Mouse look uses raw input with direct displacement mapping, and controller buttons can be rebound to keyboard or mouse.
Do achievements unlock?
Yes, locally: unlocks show in-game toasts, persist across sessions, and the F7 list shows progress; there is no Xbox Live backend.
What about ultrawide, HDR, and ray tracing?
There is no native HDR or ray tracing, and ultrawide is not aspect-corrected yet.
What should I do if I get error 0xc0000142 when launching?
The common cause is a missing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (x64); install it and reboot.
