MGS3: DXVK doesn't work with MGSHDFix even after renaming the dll

[LorenzoKy]

So, for an issue with the AMD gpus(the pixel/artifacts one)i had to install DXVK.
Checked PCGW and it says to rename the dll to winmm.dll when using MGSHDFix, but it doesn't work.
I have texture mods so mgs3 crashes when mgshdfix is not working, help?

F*** PCGW

For use with DXVK or Reshade try renaming the ASI loader DLL d3d11.dll to wininet.dll
"plz don't copy it, just type the name"

• I was like you until I read original instructions here
  *My friend always check original creator of mod instructions "Not just this mod for any other mod"

The only things that doesn't work for me are :

1. Mouse sensitvity settings.
2. Skip Intro Logos for the Game "not launcher"

Shit, i really read the entire description of the mod but for that my brain "locked" the information only on the PCGW site, didn't think it was this, thanks.
I tried and it crashes, but in a strange way, it seems that it tries to launch but fails, maybe is dxvk the problem? cause MGSHDFix never give me this, i will post the log
METAL GEAR SOLID3_d3d11.log
METAL GEAR SOLID3_dxgi.log
MGSHDFix.log

Edit: i tried to install this: https://www.nexusmods.com/sonsoftheforest/mods/20?tab=description
I even created the async variable
And now the screen goes blank, creates 1kb of cache and it stops there but no more crash

What is going on?

Edit: i tried Alt+Enter for windowed mode and NOW it works (even with MGSHDFix) (with the nexus mod)
There is still one issue tho: fullscreen DOES NOT work even if you force it will crash the game

So, in the end if you have this issue, follow this steps( i created the dxvk.conf file for filtering my gpu name but i dont now if it's required) and install Borderless Gaming for running it borderless cause fullscreen doesn't work.

I managed to get DXVK 2.3 to work by renaming the dll to winmm.dll. However, G-SYNC doesn't work anymore (the monitor's refresh rate counter is stuck at 120 Hz, which is my monitor's max RR, instead of 60 Hz, which is what the game is locked at).

That's very strange. How did you do it? winmm.dll didnt work for me at all but well, however you don't need GSYNC in this game i think so where is the problem?

winmm.dll didnt work for me at all

Try renaming it to wininet.dll (some people have reported that this fixes the issue.)

did they fix artifacting with the latest drivers or am i trippin?

a bit late, but even with everything done and i cannot get this to work at all, is there anything i can do to launch this game with MGSHDFix?

EDIT: after looking in another issue, the way to solve this issue is by changing the value of borderless from true to false, and seemingly trying to play the game in windowed mode whether from the game itself or by changing it in the ini file wont work and will crash the game, this needs to be looked on

What's your CPU/GPU, and what version is your game?

I do not have the minimum specs requirements lol, I'm that guy from reddit

Edit: it's the latest version

To be perfectly blunt, if you don't meet the minimum spec requirements to play the game, there's a pretty cut and dry answer to why you're having issues playing the game / why the game crashes whenever you try to turn on windowed mode. Windowed mode is not a feature added by MGSHDFix, it's built into the game itself. x3;

You might be better off reporting the issue directly to Konami using the link below so they can look into lower the minimum spec needed to play the games on their end, since they're still patching the collection. :)

I know a windowed mode is in the actual game itself, I will double check later if the windowed/borderless issue occurs because of the mod or DXVK since I'm currently away from my PC, thanks for giving me the link for it.
