● Noticeable differences exist in the puddle and water textures within the Dock area.
● Alterations are apparent in the walking sound and running animation of the genome soldiers.
● The drum components of the encounter theme are different.

● While the guard is examining Snake while he's in a box, the player won't be able to unequip the box unless the guard spots you.
● After opening the inventory, the camera still follows Snake for a few frames instead of stopping immediately.

● Leaning on wall edges have slightly different physics. Snake can walk from one edge to the other although trying to do it is quite tough.
