METAL GEAR SOLID 2 and 3 no longer start with Mod Organizer 2 #2285
Description
The problem:
I don't know when it happened, but since at least the 19th of June 2025, but METAL GEAR SOLID 2 & 3(Master Collection) no longer runs with Mod Organizer 2 past the launcher for their games. There seems to be nothing of note on the logs and the game doesn't seem to crash either.
To Reproduce:
1 - Install Mod Organizer 2
2 - Try launching the game(even without mods), MGSHDFix lets you test faster by skipping the launcher, but same results without it, besides an loading screen for a few seconds instead of NOTHING.
Environment:
- Mod Organizer Version that exhibits the issue: v2.5.2
- Last Mod Organizer Version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable):
- Desktop OS/version used to run Mod Organizer: Windows 11 Pro 24H2
Details:
Support was working properly about some time ago, but supposedly broke with a game update. it seems it was a Steam Client update that broke it. Will make a new comment if I discover something.
