Unmodded 2560x1440 looks way sharper and crisp than when modded for 3440x1440. Anyway to fix this?

It's best to ask directly in the web forum where you grab that mod. No ?

I used Nightbits patch here on pg54 (http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.ph ... &start=530) in this web forum thread.

Also, tried following K4sh instruction for patching via hex editor on pg.7 by krboi (http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.ph ... 3&start=60).
Same issue with image quality when edited for 3440x1440. Native unmodded 2560x1440 resolution is sharpest. Feels like some graphic settings are ignored or set low when hex editing.

If i were you, i would try to change the ratio aimed to patch the game exe file.
eg : your calculated ratio is let's say 5.3. Then try lower or higher a little (converted in little endian hexadecimal obviously).

There is no way i can fix it any way via a cheat table.

It looks like it is running at a 720p equivalent and being upscaled. I have attached photos showing the difference between 2560 and 1920

I Love this page but maybe we should keep the latest updated fixes on the first page, something that is easy to follow.

Thank you to anyone who responds.

You need Cheat Engine latest version 64bits to be used with MGS that is a 64 bits process.
When running Cheat engine, you need to open my cheat table and tell cheat engine which process to be attached to. mgsvtpp.exe obviously.
Then, the cheat table should work flawlessly. I have tested it with latest game update with success.

Ommis wrote:Hi guys!

I'm new here, and created an account just to show you how to fix the resolution and markers. I relied on Ekrboi and Jackfuste to provide me with the completed exe files so I didn't have to do it myself. But when I sat down tonight and really wanted to play the game, they had released a new update (1.0.0.7). Since they hadn't given out the new exe-files, I had to fix it myself. And I was amazed how easy it was! Thanks Jackfuste and Ekrboi!

So I decided to make this post to gather all you need in one place:

1) Download and install Hex editor from here: http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

2) Download and install Cheat Engine from here: http://www.cheatengine.org/downloads.php

3) Download this file:

mgsvtpp_1_007-all.7z

4) Calculate your aspect ratio. Eks: 5760/1080=5.3333333333 (use about 10 decimals to be sure)
Insert that number in the field "value to analyze" here: http://babbage.cs.qc.cuny.edu/IEEE-754/
In the field behind "Binary 32" you get "40 AA AA AB"
Flip the bytes from right to left and get "AB AA AA 40"

5) Open the Hex editor and open "mgsvtpp.exe"
Hit ctrl+F to search for "39 8E E3 3F" (search for "Hex-value" in the datatype dropbox)
Replace this with your hex. In my example: "AB AA AA 40"
Save the file.

6) Start the game, and alt+tab it.

7) Now open the Cheat Engine and open the "mgsvtpp_1_007-all".
You should see a list of: marker fix, marker size fix, Sonar effect fix, and FOV multiplier
Hit the blinking computer in the upper, left corner. Choose "mgsvtpp.exe" and open.

First value should be changed
from
F3 0F 59 0D BD 76 00 FF
to
F3 0F 59 0D C1 76 00 FF
this fixes marker position

Second value - 64, is size for marker and some ui elements.
Proper value should be calculated by formula:
64 * ((width/height)/1.77777)
For example, 64 * ((5760/1080)/1.77777) = 192.008392
So, 64 should be changed to 192.008392

Third value should be changed
from
F3 44 0F 5E 81 0C 01 00 00
to
F3 44 0F 59 81 0C 01 00 00
this fixes sonar effect.

8) Now alt+tab back to the game, and voilá!


This worked for me, and I really hope that the CT-file works with newer updates as they come out!
If that's the case, this recepie hopefully works everytime

Thanks again Ekrboi and Jackfuste!
