v1.8 Changelog

  • 🔥 Unlocked internal resolution

    • Now is possible to change the internal rendering resolution (aka framebuffer) indipendently from the windows size.
      • Downsample from 8K or 2K on your 1080p monitor, or simply enjoy the improved resolution enhancement if you are a 4K user
      • To make the game working at 8K internal res you don't need a beefy PC: I've tried with my 1660TI and works and looks great, even without Anti-Aliasing (which I would still recommend to further increase the 😮 effect
      • You can also choose to use the '512' internal res to see the game like you would on a PS2.
        • Nostalgia is terrible
    • Until today, ALL the previous fix make the game run at most 1080p, regardless of what resolution you set in the "Resolution Tab"
      • Ops 😢
    • After 3 years I'm working on V's, Manu27089 has tried himself and explained me what the obscure "Rendering Size" I found inside the original game truly meant. Kudos to him+++++ 🏅🏅🏅🏅
    • The fix will dinamically ask the user to choose the best internal rendering size, if an higher monitor resolution is inserted from the fix or from the autoconfig at first startup
    • The previous "Rendering size" option inside "Graphics Tab" has been changed with "Internal Resolution" and has new options
  • ❗ Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Deadzones

    • Fixed a bug that makes Snake/Raiden walk "jerkly" if you move in any diagonal
    • Now deadzones are better studied: they are more reactive, and they resemble the HD Remake
      • 🎉 Thanks to Vishus Feelgood for it. If is not working, you can get angry to him 😄
  • Controls Tab

    • Now is possible to switch dorsal with triggers in both gamepads (xbox and ds4) and both layouts (V's and PS2)
      • Albeit is different from the original game, could be more useful for a lot of people
    • Now 🎮 Steam controller is better integrated inside the V's fix
      • Isn't directly included inside V's (I can't do that) but the overall better integration with Steam should truly facilitate to make it working.
      • The fix itself explain how to make it working. Just follow the instruction.
    • A little improvement for ⌨️ keyboard players
      • Now the game original keyboard button layout is explained with a beefy image,
      • Is possible to not use that button layout and use an alternative button layout provided by the community
        • Unfortunately, you still have to manually install them, but now the whole operation is much easier than before
        • How to do that? Check the related Wiki page
  • New artwork included!

    • Thanks to TEOFT for another fantastic artwork 🎨
    • Check other fantastic works by him on TWITTER - REDDIT
  • Cheats!

    • Now is possible to use some cheats to splice up your playthrough.
    • There's a dedicated Wiki page on how to use them (NB: You can't enable them from the V's fix GUI)
    • 🎉 Thanks to Whitesnoop. He told me where to put your hands to make them work!
  • Debug Mode

    • After debug mode in enabled, the fix will display (in the upper-left corner) what you have to do to produce a valid log.
    • Now should be easier to produce a debug log if debug mode in enabled.
    • I've received at least 200 empty and totally useless debug logs. Maybe is my fault because I've now well explained how it work.
      • I'm pretty confident that a lot of people didn't read the guide, nonetheless
  • 'Add2Steam' function

    • If Steam is not installed, show a more informative message
  • MGS2 artworks for Steam Library

  • Improved several things that are not worth mentioning
