- Click the picture of a little page with text just to the right of this and open 'mgs2.xpadderprofile'.

Unresolved Issues
Model shadows do not appear with certain graphics cards, to fix this set your pixel shader override to 1.0. On ATI cards this can be done with ATI Tray Tools, on Nvidia cards use RivaTuner.
