  "account": "Konami is currently investigating new Performance Mode issues on PS5 and PS5 Pro following the release of Patch 1.07 for the Silent Hill 2 remake. The patch was intended to improve fog rendering, reduce shadow flickering, and boost overall image quality on both PS5 and PS5 Pro. However, players have reported new problems, including crushed blacks, overly dark shadows, pixelation, and overall visual instability in Performance Mode. Quality Mode, which caps the frame rate at 30fps, appears unaffected. Konami has acknowledged the issues and stated that their team is currently working to find solutions. The patch has also raised concerns about the effectiveness of Konami's quality assurance process, with some players questioning how such issues could have slipped through.",
