    Basically, everything ingame has a sorta of a pale blue/green look to it. Absoultely everything in the game is convered like this, which makes the game hard to play. I'm running this on XP, with an 8800GT, and an E6750 with 2GB of RAM. Are the 8xxx series not supported by this game or something? Everything else works fine. I've tried all settings on the graphics menu as well. Could anyone help?

    First download and install patch v2.0 from here:
    http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/mgs2pc/english/index.html

    Then you need an hex editor like frhed or whatever.
    http://www.kibria.de/frhed.html

    Find the files mgs2.exe and mgs2_sse.exe in the game's directory and make a backup copy of them in case you mess it up.

    Now open the file mgs2.exe with the hex editor and go to edit->find and use the word "geforce" as a search term. Now the word "GeForce" should be highlighted and right next to it to the left side is the word "RADEON". These are the 2 entries you have to edit.

    You have to replace the "GeForce" with whatever you like as long as the letter count remains the same. I just overwrote it with "removed".

    Then the word "RADEON" to the left, this you have to overwrite with "GeForc". Notice the capital "G" and "F" and also missing "e" at the end, it should look exactly like that.

    Now save and do the same steps with the mgs2_sse.exe file.

    And just in case:
    before: http://i27.tinypic.com/t0rt39.png
    after: http://i30.tinypic.com/ml49li.png

    This should help to fix the problems with NVIDIA cards.

    You can just open each exe by changing the .exe to a .txt and search the word geforce with ctrl+f, its easier.

    Like I said: "This should help to fix the problems with NVIDIA cards."
    And no, it doesn't fix the green screen bug. There's no fix for it that I know of.

    What it fixes is this:
    before1: http://i27.tinypic.com/zjjlab.png
    after1: http://i32.tinypic.com/2na718z.png

    before2: http://i31.tinypic.com/kbpsh2.png
    after2: http://i25.tinypic.com/2m77toy.png

    These two issues can also be fixed by lowering model quality in the config by 2 notches but then there's no water in the plant level. Hex editing fixes all 3 issues for me:
