As we all know, some PC gamers were frustrated from the locked framerate of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Yes yes, the game runs at 60fps (which is fine by us) but still, some fans wanted a variable framerate. Well, thankfully, there is a way to unlock it and according to early reports, this won’t break the game’s physics.
In order to unlock the framerate, you’ll have to follow this guide (kudos to NeoGAF‘s member ‘Alo81’ for sharing).
Moreover, NeoGAF’s member ‘rhayader’ via which players can switch Big Boss’ Solid Snake costume from MGS1 with Quiet.
In order to do so, you’ll have to download this file and follow these instructions:
- Navigate to your “Steam\steamapps\common\MGS_TPP\master\” fodler
- Extract this archive in there, so you should see two new subfolders: “Assets” and “QAR Tool”
- Backup the file named chunk0.dat as it will be overriden
- Open the “QAR Tool” folder in a new window (by the way, QAR Tool is from http://forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=12407&start=285)
- Drag and Drop “chunk0.dat” over “MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe” to extract the contents from chunk0.dat.
Now you should have a new subfolder named “chunk0” as well as a new file “chunk0.inf”
- Drag and drop the “Assets” folder from step 2 inside the new “chunk0” folder. It should ask you to merge folders and override one file, namely “plparts_mgs1.fpk”. Hit “yes” to everything
- Last step: Drag and drop “chunk0.inf” (INF, not .dat) over “MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe” to repack the contents. This will recreate a new chunk0.dat and should take around 1 minute
Have fun everyone!

oh bro, this is awesome news. Though by maxing it out @ 1440p it will always be between 57-60fps.
Metal Gear? Are you being weird about female characters again? “No!” What’s that behind your back, Metal Gear? “It’s a… female character who wears bikini tops and never speaks.” Oh Metal Gear!
and behind her is a toned naked guy doing cartwheels
Hey Metal Gear? Why did you pretend MGS 2 would be about Solid Snake then replace him twenty minutes in with a cross between an albino Barbie doll and Wesley Crusher? “Duh! I’m sorry I just wanted everyone to meetthis cool new character I made up. He’s a cyborg and his nipples turn into shurikens!”
I’m pretty sure i’m already hear that somewhere else…
It’s from Zero Punctuation – MGS GZ.
it’s from Zero Punctuation
Solid Snake is a cloned mercenary who is suffering from premature aging due to a planned obsolescence scheme worthy of Microsoft. He lives with his support character (and “best friend”) Otacon, and the two of them have adopted a child together. (That oozing sound you just heard was made by all the world’s homoerotic fan fiction writers simultaneously emitting torrents of hot lady-spunk.)
need FOV fix now
Ask Rockstar also while you’re at it, I still haven’t gone back to it since.

Is there a reason Japanese developers consistently insist on locking the framerates on their games? It’s just mind boggling.
IIRC a lot of game physics systems ‘tick’ at a set rate that is tied to a game’s refresh rate. In a lot of cases having an uncapped or variable framerate can cause bugs in the physics engine. I vaguely remember Durante saying that uncapping Dark Souls’s framerate could cause physics issues if it went too high.
Yeah. With unlocked framerate on dark souls the ultimate uber bost were freaking stairs…
Sometimes you fall through them. Crazy times…
Can anyone confirm that this actually works? Since in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes when you unlock the framerate the game breaks even with the hex edit method.
hmmmm….dsr to 1323p @ 60fps or 1080p @ 100fps. Damn i hate PC gaming 🙂
Depends on your monitor’s highest refresh rate. There is no benefit in playing a game at a higher framerate than your monitor’s highest refresh rate.
a game running at 100fps is smoother than a game run at 60fps even if if its above the monitors refresh.
No it’s not. If you running a game at 100fps on a 60hz display, you’ll still just see 60fps.
yes but the game feels ALOT smoother even if your not able to see the additional frames.
No.
yes
Eyes only see 24 fps :^)
Your eyes maybe…
If the game drops a few frames during intense scenes, it’s better to have it run above 60.
And there will be screen tearing as the monitor refreshes out of sync with the more rapid framerate.
My laptop refresh rate is 100Hz
I need MOUSE IN iDROID MOD !!
don’t play this game on windows 10 BIG MISTAKE!
use the latest icafe drivers
355.73
and windows 7 for that 4k 60(or more) FPS maxed out GTX 980 or GTX 770 1080p maxed 60(or more) FPS perfectly stable FPS not below 60
Stop telling people what to do, no one listens to you anyway.
don’t listen to me hater!
People are saying it’s running fine but I am not sure if I should try it now or after I beat the game…
I mean game says I am only 30% done…
That is creepy. Look up and just look at her eyes…
She has the dead stare like one of those Japanese vengeful ghost girls.
Yes, I’m definitely looking at her ~eyes~.
( ?° ?? ?°)
LOL. Well, look up. Just for a brief second.
I clicked on the picture to see the bigger version but the first things I see are her eyes looking back at me. I slowly close the picture…
Obviously she looks little different in that pic
I’m a gentleman, I don’t do those things. 😉 But honestly ,the female in this game is terrible. I’m not a feminist but they sure know most of their players are male, clearly.
Have you played it or saw the reason she uses bikinis on the battlefield? Ridiculous. FFS just admit that she was designed to rise dongs.
LOL
eyes look way better than xb1 version my brother has.
This link has all the fixes (and is where that unlock FPS screenshot originates from).

It says “players can switch Big Boss’ Solid Snake costume from MGS1 with Quiet.” Do we get the Metal Gear Solid 1 Classic Costume by playing the “jamais vu” mission too? because I thought that costume was a playstation exclusive
I was really excited to play as quiet…. until I saw thata every primary gun just pierces her stomach… is there a way to fix that?
Same problem. Can’t see through binoculars either.
The Quiet mod is awesome, thank you for doing that! BUT … you can’t see through your binoculars, her hair is all in the way, your primary weapons are lodged through your body and awkwardly off your back, etc.. It’s hard to play with that skin. Otherwise great, just needs more work !
