This is a dx12 problem. I'll show here what I did to make the game work!

My solution

After hours trying to fix this issue, I got the idea to open the game without steam overlay, and it worked! after playing a little, closed the game and activated the overlay again. Didn't crash.

Other solutions:

"-dx11" on game launch settings. < It may work but performance is awful, only FSR 1.0 available.
Downloading "D3D12.dll", and putting it on < D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\SILENT HILL 2\SHProto\Binaries\Win64 > (did not work for me)

I hope this helps someone. Good luck!

Note: Beware of using "open as administrator", the game doesn't read your previous saves and turns the archievements off.

Didn't work, this is driving me insane.

You can find D3D12.dll on: https://www.dll-files.com/#google_vignette

Where do I download D3D12.dll?

Just bought the game, get this crash every time. I've tried running as admin, running outside of steam. Is this a refund situation?

This game was released a couple of months ago, and it is even nominated for one of categories in the game awards.

Why hasn’t this fundamental issue been fixed immediately?

I found out that administrator mode doesn't keep saves the hard way :P but after opening the .exe like that, Steam launched the game for me perfectly fine again
