Konami has shared patch notes for version 1.3.0 of Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 1.
As reported by Video Games Chronicle, Konami also shared that they are aware of other issues, so they will be addressing those in the future.
The updates essentially indicate performance fixes, but only to the level that the company initially promised. For example, they worked on fixes to frame rate issues on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 crashes, and video playback issues on Xbox Series X|S.
Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 1 has faced a lot of scrutiny from fans when they became aware of how bare bones the collection is. While it has multiple games and bonus materials, Konami has not sought to add common features in these collections, such as restore points, graphical improvements, and even button controller remap options.
This update does not include any such fixes for those complaints, and do not hint that Konami will address them either. To be clear, consumers understand that Konami has made bare promises on what they will do with Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 1. But they are not being reasonable in looking for these options that could function as accessibility aids, and generally make such older games enjoyable to explore again.
