MGS: Game Commands Do Not Function as Expected (274652)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Metal Gear Solid
This article was previously published under Q274652

SYMPTOMS

When you play Microsoft Metal Gear Solid with a Microsoft SideWinder gamepad, some game commands such as Switch Weapon or Switch Item may not function as expected.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because some game commands, such as Switch Weapon or Switch Item, require that you hold down the SHIFT key while you press a button on the controller to activate the command.

NOTE: The game recognizes the START button on the Microsoft SideWinder gamepad as the SHIFT key.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, press the START button on the SideWinder gamepad when you use a command that requires you to hold down the SHIFT key.
