Patches mouse side buttons not bindable.

Skip intro videos

Modify game EXE file[3]
  1. Make a backup of <path-to-game>\METAL GEAR RISING REVENGEANCE.exe.
  2. Open <path-to-game>\METAL GEAR RISING REVENGEANCE.exe with a hex editor such as HxD.
  3. Press Ctrl+R to open the Replace window.
  4. On the Hex-values tab of the Replace window, enter the following values and select OK:
    • ‎‎‎‏‏‎Search for: 8B 8D 8C 00 00 00 85 C9 74 13
    • Replace with: 8B 8D 8C 00 00 00 85 C9 EB 13
  5. Save the changes.
Use the mod "Skip credits and more"[4]

Notes

You can press Enter on keyboard or the "A" button on gamepad to skip the intro logos and credits.
It is also possible to use the Konami code in the “PRESS ANY KEY” screen by pressing F11.

Game data

Configuration file(s) location

System Location
Windows C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\MGR\SaveData\[Note 1]
macOS (OS X)

Save game data location

System Location
Windows C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\MGR\SaveData\MGR.sav[Note 3]

Steam Play (Linux) <SteamLibrary-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/235460/pfx/[Note 2]
The game uses a fixed path for its data instead of using the standard Windows variables, if the C: drive is missing or there isn't a Documents folder inside the user folder, the game will not be able to save and will crash.[5] This also means that Steam Cloud won't work correctly if the Documents folder is in a drive other than C: (Steam Cloud will sync the save in the correct drive, but the game will ignore this save and create a new one in the C: drive instead).[6] Possible workarounds include manually creating an empty Documents folder or using symbolic link. The latter allows to keep Steam Cloud working while also having the user folder in a drive other than C:.

Save game cloud syncing

System Native Notes
GOG Galaxy
Steam Cloud
Approx. 954 MB available.
Settings will sync too, except graphics settings.
Steam Cloud will not sync any files if the system doesn't have a C: drive.[7]
Also, if a C: drive exists but your Documents folder has been moved to a different drive (e.g., D:), Steam Cloud will sync the folder in the correct drive, but the game will insist on saving and loading from the C: drive, meaning that Steam Cloud will still not work. Your Documents folder needs to be in the C: drive in order for Steam Cloud to work.

Widescreen resolution

The only resolutions available are 800x600, 1280x720, 1366x768, 1680x1050, and 1920x1080. Aspect ratios other than 16:9 are anamorphic.
Set custom resolution[9]
  1. Download MGROverride.
  2. Type the desired resolution and click Patch.
  3. Close the tool.
  4. Set the resolution to 800x600 in the game options to enable custom resolution.

Notes

It is not necessary to run the tool again, unless you want to remove the patch or change to another resolution.
May cause minor graphical glitches, especially with the HUD.
May be impossible to use the left stick for QTEs.
You must manually set the resolution to 800x600 each time you run the game.
This is because the game tries to detect the correct resolution for the monitor at startup.

Issues fixed

Crash on launch (Windows)

Even when the correct drive is present, the game might still crash due to ntdll.dll as a faulty module.
The game uses a fixed path for its data instead of using standard Windows variables. If the C: drive is missing, the game will not be able to save and will crash.
Use SilentPatch for MGR to fix the save path

Game runs at incorrect refresh rate

The game doesn't follow the refresh rate set in Windows and defaults to a slower one.[13]
Override refresh rate with D3Dx[14]
  1. Download D3Dx by Chiri.
  2. Copy d3d9.dll and d3dx.ini to <path-to-game>.
  3. Open d3dx.ini.
  4. Change refresh_rate=60 to desired refresh rate; e.g. refresh_rate=120.
Set screen refresh rate with Special K[15]
  1. Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide.
  2. Run the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\METAL GEAR RISING REVENGEANCE.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method used.
  4. Change RefreshRate=-1 to the proper value; e.g. RefreshRate=60 or use RefreshRate=0 for automatic detection.
  5. Change EnableTextureMods=true to EnableTextureMods=false.
Use ForceFix
  1. Install recommended software and system updates, if for Windows 7, under Ideal Conditions from Steam Guide.
  2. Download version of ForceFix for your operating system from Steam Guide.
  3. Unpack the archive and launch ForceFix.
  4. For refresh rates above 60 Hz, set frequency under Custom tab and Apply.

Notes

By default, the refresh rate will go back to normal once the program is closed.
You can change it by unchecking Restore on Close.
Disable fullscreen optimizations in Windows 10 and 11
  1. Right-click the game EXE file and click Properties.
  2. Click on the Compatibility tab.
  3. Tick Disable fullscreen optimizations.
  4. Click Apply and OK.
Use Custom Resolution Utility
  1. Download the latest version of CRU from here.
  2. Follow the instructions on the website on to disable unwanted display modes.

Crashes when changing display mode to fullscreen (Linux)

On some Proton/Linux configurations, changing from windowed mode to fullscreen mode may crash.
This issue can be solved by editing the graphics settings file directly.
Edit graphics settings file
  1. Locate the GraphicOption file in game's configuration path.
  2. Open the file with a hex editor.
  3. Each configuration option requires 4 bytes. The first byte of each 4 contains a configuration value.
    Fullscreen/Windowed option is seventh, so you want to edit the byte at address 0x18 in hex (the twenty-fifth byte).
  4. Set the byte at address 0x18 to 1 for windowed mode or 0 for fullscreen mode.

QTEs with Left Stick impossible to complete on controller

Use D-pad and D-pad buttons[16]
