|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.

|Comments=The main game - i.e. the story mode and the extra missions - runs fine. I get decent speeds on both hardware and software mode. The Skateboarding mini-game, which is accessible from the main menu, crashes PCSX2 at the loading screen. It gives the error
    ..\..\FiFo.cpp(48) : assertion failed:
    Function:  ReadFIFO_VIF1
    Thread:    EE Core
    Condition: vif1Regs.stat.FQC != 0
    Message:  FQC = 0 on VIF FIFO READ!
At this junction, I fear it may be a problem with my ISO. I may redump my disc and try again.

== Known Issues ==
{{Issue
|IssueName=Left Side Pixel Artifacts
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|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.
|Workaround=No known solution.
}}
{{Issue
|IssueName=Vamp Stop VFX Bug
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=Minor spoilers. During the Vamp boss fight, Vamp throws traps to stop you from moving. If the center of the trap is located inside one of the railings at the edge of the map, the effect doesn't render at all.
|Workaround=No known solution.
}}
{{Issue
|IssueName=Eavesdrop Cutscene Olga Movement Error
|IsFixed=0
|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 skip the later part of the cutscene.
|Workaround=No known solution.
}}
{{Issue
|IssueName=Fortune First Cutscene Flickering
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|Description=During the first cutscene involving Fortune, there is a close-up where Vamp says "Queen." while next to her. This shot has full-screen 60Hz flickering.

{{Issue
|IssueName=Left side is blurred during cutscenes
|IsFixed=0
|IssueLevel=0
|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.

}}
{{Issue
|IssueName=Pressure Sensitivity Long-Term Issue(PCSX2)
|IsFixed=1
|IssueLevel=1
|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=In both Qt and wxWidgets versions of PCSX2, you can bind L2 or R2 to the Square button to access Square's pressure sensitivity.
