Listen to reason, man. Why make your job difficult?

it's cool man, it just sounds like Windows can't write to your disk, and that's usually caused by having UAC off, not being logged in as admin, a bad disk, or a weird game bug, or improper persmissions to the folder (Btw turn UAC back on)

Had weird issues like that when trying to install the newest Geforce drivers. I had to regain control of C:\temp\ for whatever reason because Windows wouldn't allow the installer to write to it. Bizarre poo poo.

Going to hit the sack, hopefully by the time I get up this "hotfix" will be out and I can try that.

edit: thanks for helping. Also I was restarting as you posted that to re-enable UAC. Mama Junk didn't raise no fool.

Dead weight, just like this post.



I dunno, i feel as if the "horse hiding" mechanic is not the best it could be, like they could have just made it a button combination instead of vaguely "point camera in a direction and hope it's the one away from the enemies". I found the one flaw in this perfect game.

During that same mission, one of the patients that pulls on your leg begging for help before being murdered uses your face you made. Other than that, I'm sure it will be for MGO and when you invade another mother-base.

There's something really special about the music you can play, making a daring, action fueled escape to the tune of "We're the kids of america, woah-oh!" blasting out of my speakers.

It's really good.

I didn't realize I needed to select missions. I did the side ops, but I destroyed all the stuff for the main op before I found the magic mission trigger.

Paraphrased:
"You need to destroy the equipment!"
"It's, um, already been destroyed."
"Well Boss, I, um, good work!"
*Mission immediately ends*

This game. :allears:

I did the same thing. Shame you miss out on the performance cash bonus though.

Any way to turn off the way the cursor sticks to objectives in the I-Droid map? Navigating with a mouse there is really bad when you have to fight the stickiness of all the items on the map.

man what



The opening was pretty crazy but honestly, I felt like it was a lot slower than it could have been.

Just stopped playing for the day after my second run in with uh... those guys, you know who, and a couple more side ops.
It's so tempting to go for the extra objectives but I feel like at the very least I want the ability to fulton vehicles and ordnance before going back into them - some of them even seem to require it.

I really like that the free-roaming gives you an excuse to finally use all your crazy weapons - you can let loose and not worry about going loud affecting your score or whatever.

My one flaw - the menus in the iDroid feel like they take way too long to open up. Also use my sprinting punch is really hard to get the timing down.

70-80 minutes, from booting up the game for the first time to finishing the prologue entirely.

I get an error that says "Failed to create save data." It says to delete the save data, but I don't know where that is. I can't get to the title screen. Someone please help.

This is from a few pages back but I didn't see an answer when I skimmed through. I had the same problem, go to userdata in your steam folder and delete the folder with appid 287700.
I deleted my ground zeroes one too (after uploading of course!) which is 311340 and it worked after a few tries.

The prologue mission is about an hour long, but there is an intro that you get before the title screen that's maybe five minutes long too.

wtf I want a refund. Doesn't the dude play with DD in the FOB/MB demo video?

Also, did they fix the terrible lack of precise aiming when you zoom in a sniper rifle with a mouse?

Satisfied with the CE, just not with the price we have to pay for it in Sweden. The mobile app is awesome now properly, sickly detailed maps when you get the full 700 meg package. Real helpful and handy.

No and no idea. Konami say there's going to be a PC patch later today. Maybe they'll turn the servers on then.

Attn PC players - there are (unconfirmed but very likely true) reports that TPP uses Denuvo. If you put the game folder on an SSD you might want to reconsider, just in case.
This would also explain the stupid poo poo like memory leaks in emblem editing.

I can confirm that this is working perfectly now, with binoculars and a sniper rifle, nice smooth aiming. I've been using keyboard + mouse for a few hours now without any major issues, there are a few tutorial button prompts that still reference a controller though.

Guys. This is amazing. Amazing that I pulled it off, amazing that Kojima gave me the tools to do it.

I was on one of the first side-ops you get, to find an elite soldier. To my dismay, he was an elite SNIPER and he blasted me off the horse and soon had me pinned down behind a rock. I had him marked, though. He wasn't moving from his spot, and I couldn't move from my spot.

So I called in a supply drop... ON HIS HEAD.

It worked like a charm. 20 seconds later, he was out cold as a precision-launched cardboard box bonked him on the head, letting me snake close to him and fulton him.


I do believe I will like this game, even if it is structurally and tonally so different from Metal Gear as I know it that it's almost unrecognizable.

It's the new thing from the Starforce guys, it dynamically unecrypts stuff as necessary and has had some teething problems, Lords of the Fallen running a bit like poo poo because of it for instance, but it doesn't do anything to SSDs.
