METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

 This topic has been pinned, so it's probably important
Low Severity Bug General Thread
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.

There doesn't seem to be a push to talk feature, and I can't see the weapon select GUI when I switch guns occasionally.

Title: MGO character customization graphical glitch
Description: Getting randomized graphical artifacts/glitches or possibly incorrect textures being applied when switching customization gear. Get the same glitch while in free roaming.
Where the bug occurs: Character customization and free roam.
Repro Steps: Any time my character is in view. Could not see if it was happening with other player's models, but 100% of the time that my character model was viewable. Seems to be worse the closer the camera is to the model.
Repro Rate: 100%

Edit: I have isolated the problem to a single color on the BDU's brown second color option. I have not encountered this glitch on any other gear and/or color option but I have not unlocked much at all.

Edit2: I just played with someone who had the same graphical glitch on their character, so I can only imagine that they had the same brown color on their BDUs.


Edit3: Also just noticed it does the same glitch on whatever default color the Tactical Mask is.

Title: "Bound Dragons" event randomly not giving rewards after successful run.

Description: A handful of times now, I have completed a run of the Bound Dragons FOB event, only to see on the debriefing screen that it has not awarded any GMP, and then after checking my event token total, none have been credited. Upon looking back in the Bound Dragons FOB event tab, the area I successfully infiltrated is not marked as completed.

Where the bug occurs: Bound Dragons FOB event, presumed to be in the debriefing screen.

Repro Steps: Simply performing a successful run by reaching the command point (finish line). It has happened on full stealth and after detection. I have done a few runs and have been rewarded normally, but random runs do not register as completed.

Repro Rate: Approximately 25% of runs.

Results: Mission completion rewards are randomly not recieved. When this occurs, the FOB in question does not mark as completed. The event seems to be functioning as intended, but almost as if the game is not sending complete data?

Expected Results: 2000+ event tokens (for a full stealth, no kills, no reflex run), a bunch of GMP, random reward staff and fultoned materials.

It has happened three times now, and it always burns to realise all your slow, painstaking work was for nothing. xP

Title: Metal Gear Online: Windows "Aero" mode causes 15+ framerate loss

Description: When playing in either Borderless Window Mode or Window Mode I was experiencing a large drop in frame rate. When I disabled Aero in Windows performance went back to normal.

Aero is a setting that puts more strain on a PC, but it is causing a 45 FPS cap in places where frame rates should be high as there is nothing occurring. For example, when the game loads and there are black screens with text boxes for announcements, I was observing a constant 45 FPS maximum with Aero enabled and in Windowed or Borderless Window Mode.

Where the bug occurs: Throughout running game with Aero enabled in Windows.

Repro Steps:

- Open Metal Gear Online in Borderless Window or Window Mode with Aero Enabled > On Loading Screens or Notice/Announcement Screens, Observe FPS > Load into game, Observe FPS > Go into Graphics Settings > Enable Full Screen > Observe FPS (Should be improved, normal)

- Disable Aero and perform previous steps, will be able to observe higher FPS.

Repro Rate: 100%

Results: Performance issues, frame rate issues.

Expected Results: Aero should have less of an effect on Metal Gear Online, especially in non-graphics intensive text only screens.

System Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
GPU: EVGA GTX 970 (Approx Total Memory: 3701 MB)
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590 CPU @ 3.30GHz (4CPUs), ~3.3GHz
RAM: 16GB
Gamepad/Controller: Keyboard and Mouse

Just screwed up on 3 platform FOB. Fight my way to the final platform, waiting by core door for alert to clear game kicks me offline even though im definitely NOT offline.

That's the worst instance I've had of this but this is happening a lot more often recently. A LOT.
