Okay might have figured it out. Had the same problem. I turned off steam overlay and ran it as administrator in the actual files instead of the steam app.

1) How does one do this?
2) It FIXES IT?!?!?!?

It completely fixed it for me. When you are in the steam app you can right click on the icon of the game go to properties and the first option is to turn it on and off.

Running steam as administrator should make every app it opens run as administrator too no?

I dunno about steam overlay causing disc read error, in that case every deck user should get hit with it. But the opposite is true, deck users report all sorts of problems outside of disc read error.

Sadly this didn't work for me. RIP

a way around it, should be skipping the cutscene that's giving you the image of missing disc, for me, it was the cutscene of E.E dying on the arms of Hal, after that i didnt have any more trouble.

Yeah, I just started mashing all the buttons on my controller and even then it sadly still didn't work.

MGS2 is not an emulator. It is a native port. 2 and 3 are native, all others are emulation. That's what REALLY driving us nuts, because there is no reason we should be getting this error.

Does anyone have a video of this happening ingame?

To everyone suffering this problem:

Are you running windows 11?

There is a Clip😀

Yesss same exact spot for me, I am using windows 10 though, I've tried running in windows 8 compatibility mode, still freezes.Running as administrator, freezes. Turning off steam overlay, freezes.
The problem I think is the convoluted Blueprint files + the added game launcher files are causing this scene to not be found or its getting corrupted somehow.

Something is messing this part up BC it was fine my first play through. Now it freezes now matter what even if its a new game.

Progress report.

Using the save data provided from Redbird

Windows 11 on steam deck, disc read error.
Main PC Windows 10 on external HDD, disc read error.

Main PC but on built in SSD, cutscene plays.

The Cutscene in question not loading fast enough may be our problem here. The game jumps right into the cutscene without any time to load. Running as admin and disabling overlay DOES help with performance so it may be linked to load times

Grabbing videos of the game on my main PC, may take me a moment

Second test on main PC using external drive

Third test on main PC using built in SSD

Don't have video for windows 11 steam deck but it's about the same as the first video.

turning around the room before entering the elevator worked for me
