'''''Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots''''' is the sixth Metal Gear game directed by Hideo Kojima and is set five years after the events of [[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - HD Edition|Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]], the story centers around a prematurely aged ''Solid Snake'', now known as ''Old Snake'', as he goes on one last mission to assassinate his nemesis ''Liquid Snake'', who now inhabits the body of his former henchman ''Revolver Ocelot'' under the guise of ''Liquid Ocelot'', before he takes control of the ''Sons of the Patriots'', an A.I. system that controls the activities of PMCs worldwide. The game received universal acclaim, garnering perfect reviews and Game of the Year awards from several major gaming publications, including GameSpot, which claimed that the game was "technically flawless". The game has been considered one of the best games of the seventh generation of console gaming and among the greatest of all time. Its release caused a boost in sales of the PlayStation 3, where it sold over six million copies worldwide.

The game received universal acclaim, garnering perfect reviews and Game of the Year awards from several major gaming publications, including GameSpot, which claimed that the game was "technically flawless". The game has been considered one of the best games of the seventh generation of console gaming and among the greatest of all time. Its release caused a boost in sales of the PlayStation 3, where it sold over six million copies worldwide.

Configuration

Options that deviate from RPCS3's default settings and provide the best experience with this title are listed below.

GPU configuration

Setting Option Notes
Renderer Vulkan Recommended to get the best performance.

Known Issues

Freezes/softlocks

The game is very unstable and will frequently crash within seconds even when using SPU LLVM & Accurate Xfloat Off.

No audio

When using anything other than SPU LLVM Recompiler and Accurate Xfloat OFF, the game will have no/some sound only.

Special Notes

Custom MGS4 builds

For this game, use illusion's rebase of the Rajkosto build that have additional hacks to improve stability and performance of this title. You can find the builds of this fork here.
