Issues unresolved

Steam's offline mode wipes out save games

Do not access this game in offline mode. You will be asked to start a new game. This new save game will not be replaced by your old game saves when you reconnect to Steam.[citation needed] If you start a new game in offline mode, your save will be preserved after restart (at least while playing in offline mode).

Game crashes after changing resolution settings

Some resolutions like QHD 16:10, or changing default borderless to fullscreen, may cause the game to crash. In certain cases, settings may be saved causing game crash on startup. As a workaround, you will be forced to delete manually game config. If you see more than one file in the folder, delete the most recent.

Issues fixed

Constant micro stuttering

Disable Shader Cache in Nvidia Control Panel[6]

Disabling Screen Filtering effects separately

Depth of Field, FXAA, Motion Blur and Screen Space Reflections are all combined under the "Screen Filtering" graphics setting.

  4. Open cmd in the Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes installation folder (Shift+Right Click), type MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe data_02.g0s -r, and press Enter to extract the files inside the archive to a new folder called data_02.
  5. Open "data_02\Fox\Scripts\Gr" and open "gr_init_dx11.lua" with a text editor (e.g. Notepad/Notepad++).
  6. Search (Ctrl+F) for "PluginDoF", "PluginFXAA", "PluginMotionBlur" and "PluginLocalReflection".
  7. Change the EnableFilter=1 lines to EnableFilter=0 for each effect on the desired graphics preset section, as well as the QuarityType=1 lines to QuarityType=0 for the Depth of Field effect.
  8. Save the file.
  9. On the Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes installation folder, drag and drop the newly created data_02.inf file onto MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe to repack the archive.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/311340/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (311340) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
