mgs2-v-s-fix VS rpcs3

The re-release of MGS2. It contains new modes and extras. Not much to say here. Also, the skateboarding minigame is only in the PS2 release. The PC version is a port of the Xbox version so it has the same issues that port but can go to the highest resolutions since it's PC, by the way, V's fix is essential for this release, I'd also recommend the 60 FPS fix which makes the cutscenes run correctly at 60 FPS, there's also this cool mod which adds the third person camera from Subsistence available here.

I think you misunderstood my point. TLOU shipped in an inferior condition with many issues present. These issues such as shader compilation, texture pops and inferior CPU and GPU utilization led to a subpar experience. If Konami (or whoever is in charge of this port) does not execute properly - it will be a bad port. The MGS2 port for PC is notoriously known for being a shoddy port. Hence this fan made fix

For MGS2 I chose the PC port so I could use the S.O.S mod which let's you play with the 3rd person camera from MGS3:Subsistence. Make sure to install V's Fix as well.

Hi, I have MGS2: Substance for PC, and don't know how to make it run under Linux. Running my system's Wine install (8.6 Staging) as well as the latest Proton-GE on Steam (8.2) leads to a black screen for a frame, then immediately closing. This doesn't change with V's Fix. I can't find any info about running this on Linux through searching, so do you all know what would work, if anything?

PC with V’s fix.

Find the .exe files for the GOG version of MGS2 (it’s DRM free) and use V’s fix.

If you’re going paying it on PC make sure to use V’s fix.

Here’s the list of issues that GOG fixed for the MGS2 release. It looks like some of their fixes overlap with fan patches, but none of them were specifically incorporated with the release (like V’s Fix, which is compatible with the GOG re-release.

There's a fork by cipherxof explicitly for this https://github.com/cipherxof/rpcs3

I’ve been out of the loop for a while so I’m not sure if these changes were ever merged into the master build if RPCS3 but there’s a fork of the emulator built specifically for running MGS4.

You got to use a specific version of RPCS3 moded for MGS4 https://github.com/cipherxof/rpcs3/releases , and In order to mitigate the freezes while in-game you'll need to add the cellSpurs urgent commands hack canary patch manually and enable it via RPCS3's patch manager. https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Help:Game_Patches#Manually_adding_custom_patches

https://github.com/cipherxof/rpcs3/releases/tag/0.0.8-9814 This is the newest version I can find It's from april And the main RPCS3 build runs at like 20fps this runs at like a good 40fps

Cipher It fixes almost all the crashes but loading time takes about 1-2 minutes

For MGS4 get [Cipherxox Build](https://github.com/cipherxof/rpcs3) OR [Gnarly Repack](https://www.gnarly-repacks.site/2022/07/27/metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-patriots-rpcs3-illusion-cipherxof-gnarly-repacks-17-2-gb/) for the best stability. Just ensure to change the Vblank back to 120 or 240. For some reason they both set it to max which will crash the game.

not OP, but I beat the game using the cipherxof build of rpcs3 on a 2070. framerate was usually in the 40s but could go as low as 15-25 when lots of stuff is going on. The only thing is, it crashes at least every 40-50 minutes. Some areas of the game are a lot more prone to crashing than others. Cutscenes don't seem to crash as much as gameplay, but it definitely still happens. Once cutscene crashed over and over in the same exact place, so I had to watch that one on Youtube, but overall the game is 100% beatable. I used all default settings, except for Vsync, which I enabled.

I would say it crashed somewhere between 20 or 25 times on the total play through , it Doesnt really matter if you save often like I do , just close the game and launch it again. As for the build it’s the cipherxof build and you can find it here https://github.com/cipherxof/rpcs3/releases/tag/0.0.8-9814

https://github.com/cipherxof/rpcs3/releases/download/0.0.8-9813/rpcs3-mgs4.7z , there you go :)

The RPCS3 build I am using is the CipherXOF build.
