|Comments=Retesting on more recent builds. Built-in sensitivity settings no longer seem to work. The old frame drops issue that I had in the past however, has been fixed now while wearing Stealth camouflage.
|Comments=BIOS: USA 2.30, Decided to replay this game. A few things worth noting, a microVU0 warning will pop up every now and then, but it does not seem to affect the gameplay. One gripe I do have with the game is that when you have Stealth equipped, it causes a massive slowdown in the frame rates. I can easily lose well over 10~15 FPS when Stealth is equipped on Snake/Raiden. It's really annoying playing the game with just 40 FPS, especially on the higher difficulties like Extreme. Been trying to fiddle with the GSdx options to see if something can make it run smoother, but haven't had any success yet.

{{Issue
 
|IssueName=Pressure Sensitivity Long-Term Issue(PCSX2)
|IssueName=Eavesdrop Cutscene Olga Movement Error
|IsFixed=0
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=
|IssueLevel=1
|Description=In the cutscene where Raiden uses the directional mic to eavesdrop on Ocelot and Olga, she pulls her gun out on him and then walks away. Olga is supposed to walk through the right side door. Instead, she infinitely walks to the left, and you're forced to press X to move to the next section.
|Description=PCSX2's plugin-to-core merge on 1.7 development builds uses LilyPad for handling gamepad inputs. The problem with this is that the version of LilyPad used doesn't contain pressure sensitivity for anything other than L2 and R2 if you're not using a DualShock 3 controller. This is a problem because you can't even rebind the left or right trigger to the square button to access pressure-sensitivity functionalities like lowering your weapon. For reference, analog input on L2 and R2 do work on PCSX2, but ONLY on those two buttons.
|Workaround=No known solution.  
|Workaround=There is no known workaround.

|IssueLevel=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=When paused and looking at the Big Shell map, later sections of the title do not display unless it's the frame after you hit START to unpause. Does not happen with every title like "Shell 1 Core" but most of them do have this issue.
|Description=Alongside the left side of the screen, there are artifacting pixels that are 1 pixel wide. Easiest to see at native resolution. Happens across pretty much the entire game.

Was tested with both OpenGL and DX11 Software modes. DX11 performed noticeably better but still bottlenecked a GTX 1660 Super paired with a Ryzen 7 3700X.

|IssueLevel=0

|Description=In the tanker, the infrared sensors are visible without the need to shoot a fire extinguisher. Appears as black lines that turn red while the extinguisher is active.
|Description= Some cutscenes are rendered at 10fps with motion blur to give a dramatic slow-motion effect but the effect is only shown on a small portion at the left side of the screen. A great place for testing this is Solidus Snake's introduction, right before the Harrier fight.
|Workaround=Use dev build 1.7.2234.
|Workaround=Use Software mode.
