METAL GEAR SOLID 2 SUBSTANCE BLACK SCREEN/ BROKEN GRAPHICS FIX!!! (WINDOWS 10 NVDIA / AMD FIX)

Metal Gear Solid, the game which introduced the mainstream gaming world into stealth action. Metal Gear Solid has topped charts ever since the first installment in the series back in the 20th century and people still play games from the series without taking the graphics aspects into consideration.

Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance, the direct sequetl to the Metal Gear Solid (PlayStation) , released for PC back in 2003. However Konami was least bothered about optimizing the game for windows as it was a direct port from the PlayStation 2, and people still face problems when trying to play the game.

THE ISSUES

1. Black Screen at startup and cant get past it.

2. Broken graphics in Nvidia/ AMD graphics card

A proper fix for this game is hard to find online, it took me hours to find a proper easy fix for this game, so i thought id help the hardcore metal gear solid fans to play this game without wasting their time searching for a fix online.

THE FIX:

1. Download the "mgs2_theinforoom_fix" Bundle from this link.
2. Extract the "mgs2_theinforoom_fix" bundle.
3. Update the game to V2.0 , using the Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance Patch v2_0.rar 
4. Install the graphics card fixes from the "GRAPHICS_CARD FIXES.rar"
5. Lastly copy the files from "Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance 2.0_CRACK.rar" to <gamepath>/bin

If you still have broken graphics or missing texture problem when running the game. 

1. Navigate to <gamepath>\bin and launch MGS2SConfig.exe
2. Under Drawing, find Model Quality then set it to the second value.

You should now have a perfectly working Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance.

MGS V PHANTOM PAIN 3DM SAVES

MGS Phantom Pain is a great game with great replay value. You can play it several times and still find a new way to end the mission. Its a masterpiece of stealth action. So if you like the game please support the developers by buying the game.

THE PROBLEM:

Thanks to 3DM  for the crack. But the 3DM Saves had a problem in PC where the game could not save. i.e every time I exit the game and started it I had to play from the beginning. I wasted 7 hrs of my first gameplay like this.


SOLUTION:

I searched a lot and came up with this solution.

1. First follow all the instructions in the 3DM instructions in the crack folder. 
2. Open the game for first time using LauncherMGSTPPTimeZones provided in the crack.
3. Start the Game and Close it.
4. Open your Installed Directory in my case D:\Games\Metal Gear Solid V - The Phantom Pain
5. You cant change the read-only status of the 3DM folder. So you have to do this. 
6. Right Click on mgsvtpp.exe and go to its Properties.
7. Now click the Security tab.
8. Now click the Edit button.
9.  Now check the Full Control box for every User or only for your User name.(I gave for all user). 
10. Click Apply. 
11. Now Start the Game using mgsvtpp.exe

Your game paly will be saved. ENJOY.

WARNING: If you launch again using LauncherMGSTPPTimeZones all your saved game will be replaced with default 3DM saves.

If you are stuck at white screen while launch just change your timezone to Beijing in Time Zone settings.

Also here is the link for 3DM saves past the prologue scene.
