Although Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is visually and mechanically great, the game’s PC version has been plagued with a few issues that have left it in a less-than-acceptable state. There isn’t a shortage of issues from the game not auto-saving to low frame rates.
In this guide, we’ll explore the game’s top problems and offer workarounds as the developers deploy patches to fix them.

2. Game Not Saving / Autosave Bug
If you are having issues saving the game and are losing all the saved progress after a restart, you should set the game’s “.exe” file to run “as admin”.

3. Full-Screen fix
The game does not support high refresh rates of around 60Hz or more. it will only work in full screen if you have a refresh rate of around 24Hz.

If you cannot get your third-party controller to work with the game, you can use this tool to get it fixed.
