I'm so upset right now

[Gonah]

I did play the MGS 1 for almost 3 hours and haven't found the way to close the game, then I opened it again and there is no saved data, where my save game went?

And I don't want to mention the turbo mode I had playing it full screen.

[Swole Diccus]

I mean did you actually save? Im not trying to insult you. did you call mei ling and save?

[Punished Rusty Shackleford]

lol that's what happens when you don't pay attention to the game OP. you have no one to blame but yourself.

[Gonah]

I did call her yea and after saving I did alt+f4 but my save game is not showing

[FetusZero]

Dial 140.96 to save with Mei Ling, and after saving, open up the game menu with L1+R1 or E+M, that triggers the save. If I don't open up the game's menu, the save doesn't actually take place.

maybe try this OP. Get to where you can call mei ling and test it out and see if the save sticks this time. Shouldn't take that long. then maybe chill for the day and get back at it tomorrow.

Don't ALT + F4, press R1 + L1 when you want to quit, so save then do R1 + L1 and quit that way.

BTW manuals and configurations are not here as decorations.

For MGS3 you open the menu, select option then select return to main title.

And OP to fix your Fullscreen issue you have to go into your graphics card control panel and turn on Vsync OR limit the framerate for the game. (if your monitor refresh rate is higher than 60Hz Vsync won't help you, so use the frame rate limit in that case)

Just want to save that its completely bs that you have to arbitrarily close the game in a specific way for saves to work.

ALT + F4 is never the good way to close a game nor a software.

When you launch the packs you select the game you want to play, so when you save in-game it save like a temporary save, when you exit (the way normal people do) it saves your data for the game you have played.

So all you have to do is quit the game normaly.

I don't know what they're talking about. I've never quit the game that way, I always use alt+f4 and saves have worked fine.

If I quit the game without R1+L1, my game treats it as if I never saved at all since my last session.

I just lost Gray Fox and Psycho Mantis progress because by habit, I closed the game out through steam's exit game. Opened it back up, sure enough I was before Gray Fox.

Do you open the L1 + R1 menu after saving or before quitting?

I mention in a different thread that I'm pretty sure you just have to open that menu, you don't actually have to exit, BUT I haven't thoroughly tested that to be sure
(MGS1 is my least favorite Solid game so it's pretty low priority to me)

no I didn't even know about that menu until I got stuck on the psycho mantis fight (which took me 3 days to get to, it's my first time playing this game) and had to look it up.

and I just now tested it. I have only used memory slot 1 until this, so slot 2 was empty. I just now saved my game to memory slot 2. quit the game using alt+f4. restarted the game, the slot 2 file is still there

LOL
well apparently you're the only one
I honestly never tested because I don't mind going through menus to close the game, as I'm never in a hurry since i can pause and walk away or just alt-tab if it's urgent.
