Important advice !!!
To always see all the words in the comments, you need to:
In Steam, open the "About account" section, then select "Store settings", then scroll down to the "Chat filtering" section, select "Show curse words and insults",
Then in the "Always show these words" subsection, enter and add ".*" (without quotes):
.*
After that, you will see all the words, instead of the incomprehensible "♥♥♥" or "***".

хахахахаха, Да Дружище, мне вообще похуЮ и пОхую, ещё конечно и похУю, но похУю иногда больно хехехе

That time I also forgot to say what will happen if you don’t stand, don’t sit, and if you lie in a box what will happen ...

one more rule, if you don’t spend fultons, and you are sitting in a box, then a shot from a fulton will only put you to sleep, but if you are standing in a box, then you will be fultoned

Since May 24, 2023, many players and I could not log into the server and some wrote to this site with konami.
Konami could not understand what the problem was, they replied that perhaps the reason was not in their server.
There were about 40-50 of us players who communicated with each other, then we found out that those players who had Windows 7 installed could not log into the server.
Afterwards, my friend wrote to Konami and explained to them what the reason was, they replied that they would forward it to the technical department and after the next server maintenance they fixed it, everything started working, so the Konami workers are still alive hahaha

I have been playing MGS for many years, all my friends have played or still play now.
Here's a short report:
I'm from Russia myself, I can't login.
7 friends from Russia: 5 can login, 2 can't login.
4 friends from Italy: 3 can login, 1 can't login.
4 friends from Germany: 3 can login, 1 can't login.
1 friend from Latvia can't login
There are also 3 friends who can't login, but I don't know where they are from.
It seems to me that our problem is serious, because it is not obvious, this problem is difficult to determine by Konami workers.
If the server didn't work at all then Konami would be easier to understand hahaha.
