METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.1 is quite broken on Steam Deck / Linux

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Were you hoping to play through the METAL GEAR SOLID: MASTER COLLECTION Vol.1 that just launched on Steam?

Well, currently you won't be able to on Steam Deck and desktop Linux as it's quite broken.

The bigger problems are how METAL GEAR SOLID 2: Sons of Liberty - Master Collection Version and METAL GEAR SOLID 3: Snake Eater - Master Collection Version just don't work.

Setting aside current Proton incompatibility on Steam Deck and desktop Linux, the ports themselves are the most basic they could have possibly done.

On desktop Linux (Kubuntu), Metal Gear Solid refuses to actually go full-screen for mean unless I used Gamescope.

Hopefully Valve will figure out what causes the issues and put out a Proton update, just like they do with numerous other games.

Sounds like you should just emulate these games.
- Steam reviews (at least for MGS1) say this release is literally just an ISO+emulator...
  
  That is basically all I expect from games devs. Why would they bother to make any meaningful improvements to the game? Maybe one day, there will be a better remaster.
