Can you try to use a lower resolution instead, as 1920 x 1080?

[Charmquark2]

Same issue here. The resolution it "detects" is 1536x864 . No idea why. Can't change it. But the same error message appears. The game will start only when Window mode is enabled. But that's really not the way I intend to play it.

Not sure there is any connection but I am using GOG version. And your installation instructions say "overwrite the file" with your MGS2SSetup. BUT in the GOG installation folder, the .exe is named "mgs2_sse", so copying your MGS2SSetup there doesn't overwrite anything in that sense. Is that a problem? Should I rename your .exe to "mgs2_sse", so it can overwrite the original?

This sometimes happens due to the game trying to use an unsupported audio device, e.g. the speaker on a DualShock 4 controller.
