After seeing the slaughter of fellow officers, Sebastian is ambushed and knocked unconscious. When he awakens, he finds himself in a deranged world where hideous creatures wander among the dead.

From mastermind Shinji Mikami, The Evil Within 2 is the latest evolution of survival horror. Detective Sebastian Castellanos has lost it all.

The Evil Within 1 uncapped framerate - any issues?

I see the PCGamingWiki page for the game says you run into these problems if you uncap the framerate:

- Enemy attacks that drain health (i.e. strangling attacks) do so significantly faster at higher frame rates. 
- Enemy attack speed appears to be much higher at higher frame rates.

If anyone has played the game uncapped can you comment on how drastic these are? If enemies are so fast it becomes too difficult or if the health drain attacks are also too difficult to deal with? Any other issues also? Thanks

Can't launch the game

I got the game on steam but when I try to play I get the "no signal" message. I play on a TV screen.

Is there any fix

Edit : I'm forced to power off then on my PC to do anything

Edit 2 : fix it. For some weird reason if I alt+tab it work again

Beaten Akumu

Chapter 6 was probably where I died the most. Never looking back on this mode again. I will probably go back to do the DLCs at some point.

What difficulty to play on? (The Evil Within 1)

About to finally play The Evil Within after having it sit in my library for so many years. My only question now is, what difficulty do I play on? I was reading the manual just now and I noticed it says there's a casual mode and a survival mode. Casual is recommended for first time survival horror fans, which I definitely am not. I've already played a few survival horror games (re2,re4,re5,re7, and a few others). I see the survival mode is intended for experienced survival horror fans which I may be considered. My only question is, will survival mode make the game brutally hard to the point where I wont be able to enjoy my first ever playthrough? I doubt it, but just wanted to see everyone's thoughts.

Monitors going crazy when opening

So I just got the evil within and the evil within 2 yesterday and I was going to play it today. Every time I open it though this happens, I already checked file integrity to see if that fixed it and it didn’t. Any tips?

Evil within not on psn store?

Never finished evil within 1 so I wanted to purchase it on the store but it's not there. Why have they removed it? Can you not play the first game on psn anymore?

Finally, I’ve finished it!

Almost ten years of ownership and I’ve done it! I almost finished it years ago but lost my save when I was up to the part with the big wolf. I only revisited the game after working my way through the gaming backlog in recent years.

All in all, I enjoyed the game and I’m glad I came back for another go. But I’m glad to be done.

Stefano boss fight P2 (GamePass/Nightmare) no bullets spawn bug, softlocked?

I am doing the Stefano fight, phase 2, and bullets are not spawning, closed and opened the game again to no avail, still no spawns,

I am veritably softlocked to not complete this fight, I just don't have the resources for it, is this a known bug? is there a way to solve it?

Thank you so much!

Starting out (first game) any tips?

Hey folks,

I’ve heard the second game is supposed to be really good. I’ve picked it up and noticed I have the first game in my library from years ago, so I’ll start there on a normal run. I would love to hear any tips or advice for the first game you guys have.

Many thanks

I want desperately to like this game, but...

Where are my shots going? Certainly not where I am aiming. Is there a reason why? Even reducing sway doesn't seem to help; my bullets seemingly dissipate mid-shot.

Also, the aiming itself is so robotic. I feel like I am only able to aim side-to-side and up and down. How is it that a game that came out nearly ten years prior to this, Resident Evil 4, feels ages ahead?

Ugh, I guess I'm just venting. It feels like every time I get into it something goes disaterously wrong and it isn't even my fault. I've restarted The Evil Within a few times now. It's starting to test my patience.

Someone help please

I just downloaded the evil within and already there is a major problem that makes the game unplayable. There is a loud static noise drowning out all the other audio. Restarting doesn't help. Verifying game files doesn't help.

Showing model names

Does anyone know if its possible to show the names of the enititys/models your looking at in game? like with a console command or something. Ive tried some but don't really know what it would be if there was a command for it.

I know there is a list model option. but that is in the console, Im more looking for a boundingbox type view. in game

What a wild ride...

https://preview.redd.it/pdmt90cv0uwd1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=e941082c237aa1d3e02f8c664faa7b80d6860a2d

I've wanted to attempt this run for the longest time, the thought of it was a bit intimidating if I'm honest.
If you're wanting to complete akumu difficulty yourself I highly recommend checking out Optinoob on Youtube, his guide made it as painless as possible. One of the harder parts of the game is disarming the damn traps!
Anyways, wanted to share my achievement and give Optinoob a shoutout for his hard work.
If you're currently attempting this or plan to, good luck!

TEW1: which weapons benefit the most from damage upgrades?

Title, but something I’ve always wondered is what weapons benefit from maxing the damage the most.

Most people say to get pistol crit to 50%(that’s normally what I do or atleast 20-30%) and harpoon damage up which I agree with. Do they actually change every weapon much or is it only a select few(I normally pump sniper damage and mixed crit/dmg for shotgun).

Why does this game feel so hard?

I've been spending all month getting spooky games off my back log in honor of Halloween and I finally made it to the evil within and fell in love with the dark atmosphere of the game. Only problem is, this shit is hard lol. I've been legitimately struggling to get through the first 4 chapters and I'm starting to wonder if I'm playing it wrong lol. Or is this game just like the dark souls of the horror world? Either way, I'm playing it to completion... I'm just wondering if this is normal I guess lol. I have a buttload of experience with the horror genre of games but this one is giving me some trouble. Wondering if it's the stealth aspect? Seems to be a primary mechanic of this game and I've never beaten any assassin's creed or anything. I need tips or tricks are greatly appreciated.Thank you anyone that took the time to read this

If The Evil Within 3 happens, what do you think the story will be about? Joseph story, kidman story or a brand new protagonist

For me personally, there is no need to bring Sebastian back... he already got his happy ending in tew2

Came back to Post Plus area in chap. 13 and all the orange road cones were like this. ALL of them! Wonder if it has anything to do with me completely clearing the map way back in chapter 8 or 9 when the Harbringers first appeared? Doesn't make much sense but I guess a glitch doesn't have to? 🤷

Sykes Sad Story :(

I am just now playing The Evil Within 2 for the very first time and first off let me just say that I freaking love this game! It's so great! Anyways....Onward to the point of my post.

[Spoilers after this point so read at your own risk!]

I just got to the part where Sykes gets into the pod and makes an attempt to escape from STEM into the real world. I went inside the room where the pod is and after collecting a few items I noticed a computer screen on the wall. I clicked it and it began to play an audio message of a woman speaking about the "chance of success" for the pods and that the probability of it actually working is only 25%. The message went on to say that only 1 in 4 people have actually made it out of STEM using the pod and that the other 3 people, the 75%, got lost in an "uncharted sublevel of STEM" for an eternity, I presume, since there is apparently "no known way of return" for these people. That's a horribly scary thought that made me quite uneasy in my stomach. Sykes was so excited about finally finding his way out and escaping STEM and now there's a chance that he could be wandering around in darkness for all eternity. I have not finished the game so I do not know if they speak more about his escape or not but I am afraid that he may be lost forever. He was one of the good ones too..... :/
