{{--}} The game uses a fixed path for its data instead of using the standard Windows variables, if the {{code|C:}} drive is missing or there isn't a {{folder|Documents}} folder under the user folder, the game will not be able to save and will crash.<ref>{{Refcheck|user=Marioysikax|date=June 20, 2016}}</ref> This also means that Steam Cloud won't work correctly if the Documents folder of the user is in a drive other than {{code|C:}} (Steam Cloud will sync the savegame in the correct drive, but the game will ignore this save and create a new one in the {{code|C:}} drive instead).<ref>{{Refcheck|user=Reonu|date=June 12, 2022}}</ref> Possible workarounds include manually creating an empty {{folder|Documents}} folder or using symbolic linking. Symbolic linking allows one to keep Steam Cloud working while also having the user folder in a drive other than {{code|C:}}.

Game data

Configuration file(s) location

System Location
Windows C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\MGR\SaveData\
macOS (OS X)
Steam Play (Linux) <SteamLibrary-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/235460/pfx/[Note 1]

Save game data location

System Location
Windows C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\MGR\SaveData\MGR.sav
macOS (OS X) $HOME/Library/Application Support/Metal Gear Rising - Revengeance Steam/p_drive/User/Application Data/MGR/SaveData/MGR.sav
Steam Play (Linux) <SteamLibrary-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/235460/pfx/[Note 1]
The game uses a fixed path for its data instead of using the standard Windows variables, if the C: drive is missing or there isn't a Documents folder under the user folder, the game will not be able to save and will crash.[4] This also means that Steam Cloud won't work correctly if the Documents folder of the user is in a drive other than C: (Steam Cloud will sync the savegame in the correct drive, but the game will ignore this save and create a new one in the C: drive instead).[5] Possible workarounds include manually creating an empty Documents folder or using symbolic linking. Symbolic linking allows one to keep Steam Cloud working while also having the user folder in a drive other than C:.

Save game cloud syncing

System Native Notes
Steam Cloud
Approx. 954 MB available.
Settings will sync too, except graphics settings.
Steam Cloud will not sync any files if the system doesn't have a C: drive.[6]
Also, if there is a C: drive but your Documents folder has been moved to a different drive (for example, D:), Steam Cloud will sync the folder in the correct drive, but the game will insist on saving and loading from the C: drive, meaning that Steam Cloud will still not work. Your Documents folder needs to be in the C: drive in order for Steam Cloud to work.

Multi-monitor
Use Flawless Widescreen.
Ultra-widescreen
Use Flawless Widescreen. If the HUD is broken on Ultrawide/Superwide resolutions, you can use this version of the plugin instead, just replace the existing plugin in Flawless Widescreen. Make sure "Don't Stretch HUD" is checked.
MGROverride is not needed, just use the 800x600 resolution option and follow the instructions in the Flawless Widescreen window.

60 FPS
Main menu and cutscenes are capped at 30 FPS. Gameplay is capped at 59 FPS.
Frame limiter is unstable and may jump further up and down the longer the game is left on. This is a long-standing issue with PlatinumGames PC ports.[7]

Ray tracing (RT)

Widescreen resolution

Game is limited to 800x600, 1280x720, 1366x768, 1680x1050 and 1920x1080 only. Aspect ratios other than 16:9 are anamorphic.
Set custom resolution[8]
  1. Download MGROverride.
  2. Enter your desired resolution into the tool and press "Patch".
  3. Close the tool. You do not need to reopen it unless you wish to unpatch or change to another resolution.
  4. Select the 800x600 resolution in game to enable your custom resolution.

Notes

Can cause minor graphical glitches, especially with the HUD.
You must manually select the 800x600 resolution each time the game launches. This is because the game tries to autodetect the correct resolution for your monitor on launch.
Can make Left Stick QTEs impossible to complete.

Issues fixed

Crash on launch (Windows)

Even when the correct drive is present, the game might still crash from ntdll.dll as a faulty module
The game uses a fixed path for its data instead of using the standard Windows variables, if the C: drive is missing the game will not be able to save and will crash.
Create a new C: drive[13][14]

Notes

If needed a USB stick can also be plugged in and set to the appropriate letter instead.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode may default the display's refresh rate to 24 Hz or 60 Hz, especially for users using HDMI cables.[15]
Override refresh rate with D3Dx[16]
  1. Download D3Dx by Chiri.
  2. Copy d3d9.dll and d3dx.ini to <path-to-game>.
  3. Open d3dx.ini.
  4. Change refresh_rate=60 to desired refresh rate; e.g. refresh_rate=120.
Set screen refresh rate with Special K[17]
  1. Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide.
  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\METAL GEAR RISING REVENGEANCE.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
  4. Change RefreshRate=-1 to the proper value, e.g. RefreshRate=60 or use RefreshRate=0 for automatic detection.
  5. Change EnableTextureMods=true to EnableTextureMods=false.
Use ForceFix
  1. Install recommended software and system updates, if for Windows 7, under Ideal Conditions from Steam Guide.
  2. Download version of ForceFix for your operating system from Steam Guide.
  3. Unpack the archive and launch ForceFix.
  4. For refresh rates above 60 Hz, set frequency under Custom tab and Apply.

Notes

By default, the refresh rate in the game will go back to normal once you close the program.
You can change it by unchecking Restore on Close option.
Disable fullscreen optimizations in Windows 10 and 11
  1. Right click the EXE file of the game, and click on Properties.
  2. Click on the Compatibility tab.
  3. Check (disable).
  4. Click on OK.

Crashes when changing display mode to fullscreen (Linux)

On some Proton / Linux configurations, changing display mode from windowed to fullscreen can cause a crash.
This can be worked around by editing the graphics settings file directly.
Find and edit graphics settings file
  1. Locate the GraphicOption file in game's configuration path.
  2. Open the file with a hex editor.
  3. Each configuration option takes 4 bytes, with the first byte of each 4 holding a configuration value. Fullscreen/windowed setting is seventh, so you want to edit the twenty-fifth byte, or byte at address 0x18 in hex.
  4. Set the byte at address 0x18 to 1 for windowed mode, and 0 for fullscreen mode.
