How to make FOB Losses irrelevant

[J-Sheridan]

STEP 1: Go to steam right click MGSV:TPP Game then go to properties. Click Local files tab then click browse local files.
STEP 2: New window pops up with the directory of where the game is on your system, go to the steam directory > Userdata > xxxxxxxxxx > Folder 311340 > Remote
STEP 3: This folder contains the save data for the game, copy TPP_game_Data file into a backup elsehwere
STEP 4: Someone raids your FOB and steals your stuff ? - Copy the backup back into the game directory and overwrite the old one

Result: Your game, resources etc. will be back to what it was when you backed up the savegame.

A hacker or invader could steal 100% of what you own - all you have to do is copy and paste one file.
Losing Nukes - why rebuild when you can just reload the save ?


BACKUP this file everytime you quit the game or reach a point where you can revert back easily. Thus if you go on holiday for 9 weeks, backup before let yourself get raided into the ground and reload the save when you get back - Nothing lost at all.

Kinda on topic, where the heck is the form itself? I've look in konami.jp/mgs5 but that is just the main portal for the game. When I got to the USA "version" I find no form/link/nada about reporting hackers. Is it only in japanese?

If konami cared, there would be some method of anti-cheat, or save files would be stored on a server. They don't care, and the worthless reporting page is an attempt to delude people into thinking that they do care.

Regardless of the "if the care" issue, anti-cheat software is not easy to implement in a way that will not dimish or even ruin the playing experience of a player in more than one way. There is no excuse however, to not have a protocol to deal with users who break the EULA. (aka hacking) The whole form reporting thing has been announced quite late, along with the fact that it is not easy to find.

It's not a matter of "the care about the art" as much as working as a good business. Which it seems Konami prefer half-ass damage control rather than preventive mesures. I don't get why have a PC release if they did not want to support the version the way they should have. (this applies to more than the FOB issue)

I have kept a backup, and have lost a lot. but for some reason I feel compelled to just truck on rolling with the losses and just stealing from another person for resources, or go farm some S ranks in missions.

You know what's funny though? I got invaded twice by some dude and he pretty much wiped over a total of 90k of unprocessed materials (he left me empty on both accounts) and wounded over 26 soldiers along with the ones he extracted... You know what I did?

I just went to his FOB and proceeded to start killing (Not wounding) his security team, after that nothing else happened, and in the same day, I easily recovered almost everything I lost and more just by "faffing" around doing missions.

In other words you shouldn't even need to back up your save or cheat just to recover your losses, the game itself already shoves containers and quality soldiers down your throat to make up for your losses.

pretty much, I am saving it for when I get invaded by " That guy" who just cleans me out entirely and does so via some stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cheap method like a trainer or cheat engine its self.

This all boils down to one thing: Konami opted for a cheap ass corner to cut.

A multiplayer function of a game with locally stored data?

What idiot actually thought, "no, nobody will ever find their own data, on their PC, and save/edit it."

Savegames, at least multiplayer enabled ones, need to be stored server side to rpevent this kind of idiocy.

uh no? because even if it is stored server side people can still cheat via cheat engine or any other hex editor. I am already bitter that we cant have sperate save files as is......I think people should just hold off on the FOB hate for now, atleast until MGO3 comes out. if it is not fixed then....well then lets get ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MAD, but only then.

Has to be the most pathetic attempt at justifying cheating. Hope you're caught out and banned tbh.

[Mr. Pink]

Yeah we're all just waiting for great Konami to ban all the cheaters. Any day now. Aaaaaaaaaaaany day now.

You delusional twit.

oh snap, there are emoticons for TPP! yay!
somehow though there were no cards for this game.

This can be done on PS4 as well. It's not cheating.

you sir are trying to hard, or are stupid, or both because to cheat would be to allow you to gain an edge on the opponet, to save scum is to preserve your progress regaurdless of what ever the game throws at you, for better or for worse. It is a practice that hails back to the old roguelike games.

I do see what you mean, the cheaters are not going away anytime soon, if ever. Hell darksouls has a great method for dealing with em but they still do slip through the craps now and then.
I personally think they should make several "bot" FOBs that can be invaded by all, but grant no PF grade, yet can be supported and steal resources from it and earn resource reward but have all teh staff be utter crap, c grade at best but make an endless supply of them, so you cant possibly kill all of them like you could with a normal base. Should give the cheaters something ♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with and give the less confident low level invaders something to practice on
