Grab the latest release of MGSHDFix from [here.](https://github.com/Lyall/MGSHDFix/releases) 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. ## Support Please report any issues you notice on our Github [here](https://github.com/Lyall/MGSHDFix/issues/new/choose).
