https://github.com/ShizCalev/MGSHDFix/releases/tag/5.0.0

⚙️MGSHDFix Internal Bugfixes:

• MG1 & MG2: Viewport will no longer be partially off the edge of the screen when HDFix's border cropping is enabled in combination with the game's built in screen left/right alignment options.
• MG2: Fixed the outgoing call delay fix flashing the receiving character's sprite for exactly one frame at the start of their fade-in effect during the first radio call after launching the game when using Subsistence character sprites. (That one's a mouthful lol)
• MG2: Radio scanline restoration now also applies when using Subsistence character sprites.

Full Changelog: 4.1.2...5.0.0

Installation

🚩 If updating from a previous version of MGSHDFix:

• Delete d3d11.dll from your game folder.

Steps:

1. Download the file marked MGSHDFix_v5.0.0.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.
