Revision as of 18:00, 12 September 2012
Upcoming sequel: Metro Last Light (2012).
Issues and Fixes
The game breaks and cannot be continued if one crouches continuously after your companion is dragged off of the cart in the level Depot.
If the game cannot be installed ( PhysXloader.dll missing ) or results in an APPCRASH on startup, navigate to :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\install\
and run the installs located here. If this does not help, it maybe necessary to manually deinstall the Nvidia PhysX Driver beforehand and than reinstall the one provided in the \install folder.
Graphical Tweaks
Field of Vision Fix (FOV)
As taken from Steam Forums. There are three configuration files that you'll need to edit to change the field of view.
- Go to Metro 2033's
AppData
folder atC:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\4A Games\Metro 2033\user.cfg
or somewhere similar. - Open
user.cfg
and look forsick_fov
and change it to a desired number with the decimal at the end, the default is 40. Note that this is not horizontal FOV like many games but instead uses vertical FOV as seen in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and other similar titles. - Save and close the file.
- Right-click on the file and go to Properties.
- Check the Read-Only box and save those settings.
- Repeat the process for
user.cfg
files found inC:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\RANDOM NUMBERS\43110\remote\user.cfg
andC:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\user.cfg
NOTE: For 64-bit installation of Windows, Metro 2033 may be installed under Program Files (x86)
.
Multimonitor Support
For some People having more than one monitor connected to their computer, can lead to problems. Deactivate any secondary monitor will help to resolve the black-screen-problem.
Save Game Data
Folder Location
- Windows 7:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\4A Games\Metro 2033\
Cloud Support
Steam Cloud
Presumably the save games are saved in the cloud. Potentially also the settings, needs verification.
Improvements
Skip Introductions, Cutscenes and Videos
File replacement: Steam Users' Forum post.
Controller Support
If an Xbox 360 controller is plugged in, the game will default to a controller scheme, complete with the Xbox 360 interface.
System Requirements
Useful Links
Wikia entry for Metro 2033 and associated things.
