What's Changed

🐛 MGSHDFix – Bug Fixes

• Fixed the launcher closing prematurely when users had specific arguments in their Steam launch options.
• Fixed the missing settings file message not saying to run the Config Tool to generate your settings file.
• Added more verbose instructions on how to open the Config Tool on Linux / Steam Deck (yes, the .exe -can- be opened directly on Linux/Steam Deck! ♥)
• The config tool now locks out the "skip launcher splashscreens" option when "skip launcher" is enabled, to make it more obvious to users that you won't see the launcher's splashscreens when skipping the launcher anyway...
• The config tool's "Launch Game" option will now launch the game more reliably.

Full Changelog: 2.8.0...2.8.1

Installation

🚩 If updating from a previous version of MGSHDFix:

• Delete d3d11.dll from your game folder.

Steps:

1. Download the file marked MGSHDFix_v2.8.1.zip from the "Assets" section below.
2. Extract the contents of the release zip into your game folder.
   • (e.g., steamapps\common\MGS2 or steamapps\common\MGS3 for Steam.)
3. Set both "Internal Resolution" & "Internal Upscaling" to Default / Original in the game's launcher. (Resolution is entirely handled by MGSHDFix.)
4. Launch the MGSHDFix Config Tool (in the game's /plugins folder) to generate a settings file if you're installing the mod for the first time.

Steam Deck/Linux Additional Instructions

🚩 These steps are only needed if you’re on Steam Deck/Linux. Skip if you’re using Windows.

• Open up the game properties of either MGS2/MGS3 in Steam and add the following line to the launch options:

   `WINEDLLOVERRIDES="wininet,winhttp=n,b" %command%` 
  

• When opening the MGSHDFix Config Tool on Steam Deck/Linux, a Proton Tricks Wine Prefix window will pop up. Select any game and hit "OK" to open the MGSHDFix Config Tool.

  • If you do not have any games in the list, or the MGSHDFix Config Tool fails to launch, add it as a non-steam game and launch it once through Steam to generate a new Proton Tricks Wine Prefix entry.
  • You can remove the Config Tool from your Steam game list and launch it directly after generating this prefix.

Configuration

• See MGSHDFix Config Tool.exe in the /plugins folder to adjust settings for the fix.
