General Fixes for Common Problems

[antipothis]

There are still licencing issues with the language packs for some users. You can try the steam install trick by using these in your browser (they won't respond if they work, you'll get a no licence error if they don't), but it seems for the users that are still having these issues, it's now a licensing problem for their depots, and still requires konami to fix it:

steam://install/2314210 - Japanese
steam://install/2314211 - American
steam://install/2314212 - European

Uncapped FPS issues can be fixed by setting the game to v-sync in your graphics card setting, or turning off Fast-Sync

LB + RB (L1 + R1) brings up an in game menu, that allows you to change controls, the controller for Psycho Mantis, and screen options for fullscreen/windowed)

I've seen reports of people losing saves if they just alt-f4 or quit from the steam menu. Use LB+RB to bring up the in-game menu to quit instead.

If you are having save issues for VR Missions, you have to manually save each time before you quit in game. Old school.

Still have not seen a good solution for controller issues at the EULA screen. Would suggest typical steam troubleshooting, like turning on steam controller support, making sure the controller is plugged in before starting, etc.

Keyboard Controls:
left stick - WASD
X - space bar
O - H key
square - U key
triangle - F key
L2 - 9 key
R2 - 0 key
L1 - E key
R1 - M key
select - esc
start - tab

I get why they did it. If they included everything MGS1 would be 15 gigs, and MGS2 and 3 would be like 70, and the bonus pack would be another 60. It just sucks that they completely messed up the steam distribution implementation.

To think that the MGS in GOG is only 1GB. (only english). I mean the audio format in this version must be WAV.

MGS 2 in GOG is like 7GB.

The GOG version of MGS actually uses badly compressed audio, and it's one of it's few flaws. It's mis-timed and missing songs as well. Can be fixed with a mod tho

Yeah. 100% I should of been paid by konami at this point. Spent more time doing damage control and troubleshooting for people, than actually playing the game.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing!

What is your region? And are all of them saying no licences? or just some of them? You won't see a response if it works.

My Steam region is kazahstan, not sure which version steam gives in this case, but my guess is european one.

SteamDb says my MGS 1 uses this depot:
https://steamdb.info/depot/2131633/

i am missing japanesse and north american versions DLCs, all european versions are in place.

it sure looks like your depot doesn't have any dlc assigned to it. what a mess

This release is a big mess, so many issues with the language packs. I've been trying to get ALL of the DLCs/Language packs since hours to no avail. I've managed to get the Japanese and North American DLCs thanks to a guide on here but it won't let me add/install the EU & International pack whatsoever, no matter what I try.

I assume we need to wait for the devs to fix the licensing, because there's no way that this is intended/supposed to be like this. When trying to install the EU pack, it tells me that I'm missing the license for it but that shouldn't be the case. If anyone knows another way to add the missing DLCs besides the install command lines or from SteamDB, let me know.

Am i the only one having problems on saving my button settings? I try to change them and it says that its changed but it reverts back to the default. I'm playing on an Xbox controller

One problem nobody noticed - if you have 4k tv mostly likely besides primary 16:9 resolution 3840x2160 it has 4096x2160 not marked as primary in display EDID, so all games in this package does classic mistake and asume your display aspect ratio not by currently selected desktop or in game resolution, but by assuming that highest available resolution is what needs to be used as aspect ratio for all resolutions.

Since 4096x2160 is not 16:9 but tv is, all games from collection appears to be pillarboxed and 16:9 internal frame squished inside real 16:9 and game looks like of its 16:9 vertically stretched to 16:10.

In addition to this MGS 1 always seem to be vertically stretched by incorrect removal of typical ps1 letterboxes in many games (do remember if it was pal or NTSC ones that was letterbox), instead of keeping aspect ratio of original frame, cropping letterboxes and zooming in, horizontal resolution remains inside 4:3 border, while vertical resolution getting stretched, and so does whole 3d geometry and codec faces in game and all circles turns into elipses.

This incorrect letterbox removal also mixed with with incorrect display aspect ratio assumption and picture gets stretched even more vertically when both mistakes combined.

Also it seems that widescreen support in mgs 2 and 3 is ugly , they simply stretched 4:3 GUI to 16:9 in many places, so gamepad buttons and text are horizontalt stretched as well as some arts. Yet for some reason they didn't remove letterboxes in many cutscenes like tutorial cutscenes.

And for yet another weird reason in description of inventory items text and buttons are actually vertically stretched.

You can't find a perfect circle anywhere. It's always an oval in shape of egg or american football 🏈 ball, sometimes vertical sometimes horizontal.

I with I could just play in original 4:3 aspect all games with just letterboxing remove from all places.


KONAMI fix this mess with aspect ratios!!!

Anyone figured out a way to install the Japanese pack without signing into a 3rd party website?

you can use these commands instead

steam://install/2314210 - Japanese
steam://install/2314211 - American
steam://install/2314212 - European

Tried putting those in a couple of different browsers but nothing happens. It asks to open Steam, I say yes and then nothing. No error message, just nothing.

It probably worked then. Check the DLC tab for each game, you should now have the related content. For me it didn't seem to do anything too, until I took a peep at the DLC tab.

You're a boon to the community

I have another non-tech related question though; does Integral change anything in the actual main game, or was it just a release which has all the VR extras included within the base game? I started playing that but captions and item descriptions are in Japanese (Can switch to English from the settings but I believe that just changes Codec language)

Wondering if it's worth carrying on in this version to see any potential in-game changes, or if I should just launch the 'Base Game' and play that instead.

Mgs2 and mgs3 aren’t even playable for me. It acts like I’m spamming buttons on the menu. It’s just flying around the options super quickly. Anyone know how to fix or why?
