Resolution Issues
Some users have encountered issues such as not being able to set their native resolution; the game resetting their chosen resolution to a lower one; or the game's maximum available resolution being lower than their monitor's native resolution.[6] Such cases may be caused by the presence of multiple monitors attached to the computer, or attempting to play the game on an attached TV where larger resolutions may not be available. Possible solutions include unplugging any extra monitors[7] or setting the multi-monitor display mode in Windows to "Computer Only".
If the game won't show your native resolution and you are playing on a 4K TV with HDR, you will have to turn off HDR on the TV (turning off HDR in Windows won't work), and then the game will allow you to select a higher resolution from the in-game options.

Issues fixed
Crash on startup
Install dependencies[10]
|
- Go to
install in the installation folder.
- Run the installers located there and try installing/launching again.
- If the problem still persists and refers to a missing
PhysXLoader.dll , install the latest NVIDIA PhysX System Software and manually copy the files from C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common to the Metro 2033 installation folder.[11]
- If you keep seeing
nvcuda.dll related errors in the Event viewer (Windows Logs > Applications), copy the nvcuda.dll from C:\Windows\system32 into the game installation directory. If that doesn't help, try an older version of nvcuda.dll (such as 6.14.13.142 which can be found on ddl-files.com).
Notes
- It may be necessary to uninstall PhysX before reinstalling. There may also be stray copies of
PhysXLoader.dll in folders such as c:\windows\sysWow64\ .

Occasionally the game will not relaunch, especially on Windows 10. Faulting module name: MSVCR80.dll in the Event viewer (Windows Logs > Applications), Fix by deleting the user.cfg %LOCALAPPDATA%\4A Games\Metro 2033\user.cfg
|
Disable Lucid Virtu MVP control panel[citation needed]
|

|
Correct Windows date and time settings[12]
|
Crash during Depot level
How to fix[13]
|

|
Game crash after level loading
Restart the chapter[citation needed]
|
Vertical black bar lines appear
Disable Advanced DOF in DirectX 11 Options
|
Switch from DirectX 11 to 9[14]
|
Low FPS fix
Eliminate demanding commands by renaming user.cfg in the install folder[15]
|
- Go the the game's install directory and rename the user.cfg file to user.txt. Then delete the user.cfg located in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\4A Games\Metro 2033\ .
- Run the game to allow it to regenerate the user.cfg file in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\4A Games\Metro 2033\ .
- Then open the new user.cfg file in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\4A Games\Metro 2033\ and copy over all the commands from user.txt that start with bind (they're usually at the beginning of the file).
|
Set priority to High or Realtime in Task Manager[citation needed]
|
- Setting can be saved with Process Lasso.
- A priority of Realtime can cause audio glitches.
|
Set Max pre-rendered frames between 1-4 (Nvidia) or FlipQueueSize between 1-3 (AMD)[citation needed]
|
Might not be selectable in the builtin control panels on newer driver versions from either manufacturer. For Nvidia, this can be worked around by using Nvidia Profile Inspector. For AMD, open Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\UMD , create a new binary value called FlipQueueSize with a (hex) value of 3x 00, with x being a value between 1-3.

Mouse sensitivity issues
- The game applies different sensitivities for vertical and horizontal movement. It also has sensitivity settings that are too high for some players who prefer slower movement.

- The fix doesn't seem to work with the Steam version, further investigation is required.
|
Steam fix[17]
|
Install DInputWrapper.
- Works with Steam. You must place both the dinput8.dll and one of the sensitivity files in your installation folder. Ensure that you rename the sensitivity file to sensitivity.txt
