Known Issues
- Game still experiences issues with some transparent textures. Notably affects character's glasses, the surface of some water in the middle portion of Metal Gear Solid 2, and the glass in cockpits of helicopters and vehicles in both titles.
- Final segment of Metal Gear Solid 3 experiences severe slowdown due to CPU bottleneck, but is still playable.
Special Notes
Game performs well in up to 4k in most scenarios. Occasional slowdown in areas with an incredibly large amount of textures with alpha effects such as The Pain, of the field of flowers in MGS3. Performance improves somewhat when using classic Overhead Camera due to limiting render distance in these instances.
