Low Severity Bug General Thread

[Gynandromorph]

A word on this and the High Severity Thread: I am not affiliated with Konami in any way shape or form, nor was I when I created these threads. At the time, I was hot off the heels of working as a bonafide QA tester for a little game you might of heard of called Halo, so I had a lot of quality assurance knowledge still fresh in my mind. When MGS5 came out, I wasn't able to launch the game at all for about two weeks due to an installation bug, so rather than wait for a patch I aimed to do something about it and opted to partner with the (at the time) community manager to make these threads as visible as possible so as to help the dev team organize issues.

That said, it's been seven years y'all. Suffice to say, I'm not as ingrained in this community as I used to be. I used to get a LOT of friend requests asking for support on MGS5 because of these threads. I was just trying to be helpful. Please don't send me a friend request if you found me through these threads. Thank you.

Anyways, on to the thread itself.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Post any and all low severity bugs in this thread. Low severity bugs include:

-FPS Instability (The framerate drops to oddly low numbers when the game is normally stable)
-Settings (The title does not save your system settings or key binds)
-Graphical Artifacts (You're observing incorrect shadows, blurry textures despite max settings, z-fighting or any other sort of graphical defect that should not be occuring)

If your bug doesn't fall under the above criteria, proceed to the High Severity Bug General Thread I've made.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Follow this format when writing your bug:

Title: (Short descriptions of your bug, ex: Key binds do not save after title restart)
Description (Long Description of you bug, be as detailed as possible providing any and all relevant information)
Where the bug occurs: (Ex: Settings menu)
Repro Steps: (Explain how to reproduce the bug, ex: Launch (build#) > Main Menu > Settings > Control rebinds > Rebind some controls > Return to Main Menu > Load Game > Test out your new controls >Restart title and proceed back in game > Observe results)
Repro Rate: (How often the bug occurs, ex: 100%, 50%, etc)
Results: (Explain what is happening in detal ex: Key binds are not savng upon title restart)
Expected Results: (Explain what should be happening ex: Key binds should remain bound to what the player binds them to)
Media: (If applicable, post footage of your bug occuring or a screenshot. If you can't explain the bug in a screenshot, capture a video and upload it to YouTube as an unlisted video.)
System Specs: (Post the specs of your machine in the following format:
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
GPU: EVGA GTX 750ti 2GB
CPU: AMD FX-4100 3.6GHz (Quad Core)
RAM: 8GB
Gamepad/Controller: Xbox One Controller)

[It should go without saying, try to keep your bug as spoiler free as possible]

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, PLEASE SEARCH FOR YOUR BUG IN THE THREADS. If you don't find that your bug has been posted in either thread, go ahead and post it, but if you DO find the bug you're encountering, DON'T POST IT AGAIN, this will only clog the thread and make more posts for the devs to sift through. You can however, reply to the bug in question stating you are also experiencing the bug, along with your system specs.

Together we'll help the devs fix the game to how it should be for all players.

Title: Graphical artifacts in shadow.

Where occurs: In shadowy areas. Sometimes they are not that severe (like here) , but sometimes they render the game unplayable due to the impossibilty of understanding what is going on at the screen, like on the screenshot. Both screenshots are taken during the 'Where do the bees sleep' mission
Cause: May be caused by alt-tabbing the game multiple times, though I cannot be sure, as it happened quite randomly. Fixed by quitting the game and then restarting it.

System specs:
OS: Windows 10 x64
CPU: Intel i7 860 @ 2,8 GHz
GPU: nVidia GeForce 660 Ti (2Gb)
RAM: 16 Gb
Controller: SixAxis (via SCP drivers)

Dude I have the exact same thing. Didn't happen for the first 12 or so hours and then suddenly this starts happening. If I launch the game and I continue from outside oon ground, this shadow bug doesn't exist, but as soon as I deploy somewhere in the helicopter, this starts happening.

I would say however don't include suggestions at this stage. Right now we're focusing on fixing issues players are having in game, not adding features.

If you do have a suggestion please feel free to create a separate thread. We'll read them regardless.

Noted, I've removed the suggestion tag from the OP.

Suggestion
Have an option to randomly select an fob to infiltrate (still according to your level)
the reason why is because whenever i try to start one, every single time i get fob already being infiltrated aborting mission.

As Robert has just requested, keep suggestions separate from the bug threads. Thank you!

Title: Very low FPS during emblem creation
Where the bug occurs: Only during emblem creation
Repro Steps: Simply open up emblem customization.
Results: The FPS is very low(around 1-3) and makes it lag only in emblem creation.
Repro Rate: 100%, though people say if you remove a few layers, the fps increases.
Expected Results: Should be the normal FPS we get in the game.
System Specs: (Post the specs of your machine in the following format:
OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
GPU: Radeon HD 7950 boost 3gb

Title: Game constantly tries to use controller/Mouse won't work
Where the bug occurs: Everywhere
Repro Steps: Only happens to some people, I think it has something to do with having certain controller software(s) installed
Results: The kb/m icons change to Xbox controller icons, mouse won't work unless you're holding down a key
Repro Rate: 100% until fixed
Expected Results: The mouse and keyboard should just work without the game trying to tell you to use a controller even if you don't have one plugged in.
Media: N/A
System Specs: doesn't matter
Gamepad/Controller: kb/m

The fix: Go into your device manager, then click the "Human Interface Device" dropdown menu, then where it says "HID-compliant game controller," right click it and go into the properties, then hit disable.

Had this problem as well, can say that it is most likely triggered when you use words instead of letters/numbers (e.g. if you put DD or 19 64 - there won't be an FPS drop, but if you put Foxtrot Uniform on a logo - it will drop down to zero, with each layer making it worse).

What about Control Input issues ?

Ex: Control Input flickering between Controller and Keyboard/Mouse
Or Controls being "ghostly pressed" If using M/K yet there's no Controller/Gamepad connected
Or Hint Icons displaying Controller Buttons instead of Keyboard or Mouse Keys
