🎮 New Restoration:

Metal Gear 2 Specific Restoration:

• Restored facial animations that were missing during the ending cast sequence.
• The entire ending sequence has been adjusted back to the original MSX timings (roughly totalling at 6.6 seconds faster than MC.)

🐛 New Bugfixes:

Metal Gear 2 Specific:

• Fixed even more typos across all languages.

⚙️MGSHDFix Internal Improvements & Bugfixes:

Shared:

• We've backported MGSPatriotFix's upgraded update notification system.
  • MGSHDFix updates can now be issued for individual games without triggering update notifications for the rest of the collection.
  • (Ie: if we put out an update that only contains fixes for MGS3, folks playing MGS2 won't see an "update is available" notification that doesn't actually change anything for their game.)

Metal Gear 1 & Metal Gear 2 Specific:

• Our vector/high resolution font system has been upgraded to support CJK (Chinese+Korean) and extended Latin characters (e.g. Polish accent glyphs) for translation makers to utilize.
• MG2: Corrected Natacha & Yozef's restored character names showing in non-English versions of the ending cast sequence.
  • (We're still looking for translators to help with the FR/IT/DE/SP retranslations of the original Japanese MSX2 script - give us a poke on GitHub or discord if you're interested in helping out!)

Metal Gear Solid 2 Specific:

• Fixed our speedrunner sword tutorial skip feature not correctly updating the in-game timer.

Full Changelog: 5.0.1...5.0.2

Installation

🚩 If updating from a previous version of MGSHDFix:

• Delete d3d11.dll from your game folder.

Steps:

1. Download the file marked MGSHDFix_v5.0.2.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.
