[Bug]: Internal Resolution Setting makes Intro FMV flicker in Special Missions

[Dimenarius]

Issue Summary:

When I activate "Internal Resolution" in the MGS2M2Fix.ini, the FMVs ingame are flickering until I turn it off.

MGSM2Fix & Game Version Number:

MGSM2Fix v3.0.0 (preview)
Game Version 1.5.0 (newest)

Log Files:

MGSM2Fix.log

Reproduction:

To reproduce the issue and test on the quickest, start METAL GEAR SOLID SPECIAL MISSIONS from the Launcher.

The game should start with the FMV. If internal resolution is enabled, the FMV will flicker. It will not, if it is disabled.

I tested this with the german version of Special Missions but the issue will most likely also occur on other language settings.

[Fixes]
; System specific fix: If your game's main menu shows graphical corruption,
; Enable this to force Windows compatibility settings to disable Fullscreen Optimization.
; This writes to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers
; Equivalent to: right click the game's .exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> "Disable Fullscreen Optimizations"
DisableWindowsFullscreenOptimization = false

try enabling this.

I tried but the issue still persists.

Hello. Will this be looked at, since I haven't received a response until now?

I have a suggestion. Maybe the internal scaling could be temporarily disabled, when an FMV plays and re-enabled, after it ends?

It's not a really big issue. I could play with it off but since MGS1 is emulated, it looks blurry on my display.

Nuggs has been focusing on PGXP stuff as of late, I intend to take a look at it myself but I've been moving and my computer isn't set back up yet / won't be able to look at anything till the weekend at the earliest.

I understand.

Thanks for the quick response :)

I noticed something.

I started playing the main game and the FMVs there don't flicker with internal resolution enabled.

Therefore it only seems to affect the Special Missions. The VR Missions don't have an intro fmv as I recall, so they are not affected.

I was a bit worried that this issue would carry over to the main game. But this is fortunately not the case.

Is this still being looked at?

What is the current status?
