Konami has released a new patch for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. This patch is 114MB in size and according to its release notes it fixes an issue when using an Energy Wall while equipped with certain pieces of developed gear, as well as other issues.
Unfortunately, though, this patch also breaks mod support, meaning that a lot of mods are not currently compatible with it. PC gamers have reported on the official Steam forum crashing issues when using mods so we strongly suggest to either play the game in offline mode (in case you want to keep using the mods) or collect and remove your mods until their creators update them.
Since Metal Gear Solid 5 is a really old game, I don’t expect a lot of modders to update their mods. So yeah, it kind of sucks that this latest update breaks mod compatibility but at least you’ve been warned.
Oh, and no; this patch does not add the rumoured/cancelled third chapter or anything particularly impressive.
As always, Steam will download this patch the next time you launch its client (unless you are in offline mode of course) and below you can find its complete changelog.

Feels like this was done on purpose to break the mods
I can’t imagine why they would care about mods at this point. It’s not like it hurts their bottom line in any way that I can see.
F*** Konami
do your parents know you’re on the internet?
What kind of good thing that Konami can do??nothing
firing that sack of asian turd kijima or whatever his name was.
Careful,he will report you to Pakistan authorities and erase “da” in your name,so you will be officially called “goat”
Lmao edgy as always

“Fixed other issues”
Like moding your game?
“Since Metal Gear Solid 5 is a really old game”…
OLD game ? Lol, since when did this title become old ? Just ’cause it was released in 2015 ?
What r u smoking when writing articles ?
Not really when you look at what’s being patched. These are updates for the online-only component to encourage microtransaction purchases, not the single-player component which is still half finished across the board.
Fortunately the mod manager was updated almost right away.
If you haven’t played this game modded, you’re missing out. Infinite Heaven alone adds a metric ton to the open world (e.g. foot patrols, tank patrols, chopper patrols, item drops, OSP, harder AI, enemy weapon variety, etc. etc. etc.).
Thanks for the heads-up on what seem like some really worthwhile mods. Cheers.
Reading things like this makes me sad to have played the game back them, now it’s harder to come back
I’ve just been playing the likes of Space Harrier, R-Type and Rainbow Islands via MAME so if MGS5 is ‘really old’ then I don’t know what those classic games are!
I hope “Fixed other issues” includes a fix that stops CORRUPTING MY SAVEGAME.
*cough*
Wow, the game still corrupt saves? FAIL
Lol steam autopatch. Devs nowadays are “fixing” their games with censorship, graphic downgrades, SJW bs, and off course cutting mod support. Take care when patching your games folks
