Essential improvements

Skip intro videos

Game data

In-game general settings.
In-game general settings.

Configuration file(s) location

System Location
Windows %LOCALAPPDATA%\4A Games\Metro 2033\user.cfg
Steam Play (Linux) <SteamLibrary-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/43110/pfx/[Note 1]
The Steam Cloud copy of the settings is stored in <Steam-folder>\userdata\<user-id>\43110\remote\user.cfg
Contents of both instances of user.cfg are identical, and changes can be copied and pasted into both locations.
A user.cfg also exists in the installation folder but editing that file has no effect on the game.

Save game data location

System Location
Windows %USERPROFILE%\Documents\4A Games\Metro 2033\
Steam Play (Linux) <SteamLibrary-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/43110/pfx/[Note 1]

Game will overwrite user.cfg

Make user.cfg read-only using Explorer[citation needed]
  1. Right click on user.cfg and select 'Properties'.
  2. Select 'Attributes' and check 'Read-only'.

Field of view (FOV)

This game uses vertical FOV. See FOV Calculator for help.
Edit user.cfg sick_fov[2]
  1. Edit these two files:
  2. Change sick_fov 45 to a number between 1 and 90 (inclusive) (the game runs best at 60-70 FOV). Remember, this is vertical rather than horizontal FOV.
  3. Change user.cfg to read-only to prevent the game overwriting changes.

Windowed

Edit user.cfg r_fullscreen[citation needed]
  1. Edit these two files:
  2. Change r_fullscreen on to r_fullscreen off
  3. Change user.cfg to read-only to prevent the game overwriting changes.

Vertical sync (Vsync)

Off by default.
Edit user.cfg r_vsync[citation needed]
  1. Edit these two files:
  2. Change r_vsync off to r_vsync on
  3. Change user.cfg to read-only to prevent the game overwriting changes.

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.[3] 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[4] or setting the multi-monitor display mode in Windows to "Computer Only".

Issues fixed

Cannot be installed or APPCRASH on startup

Install dependencies[citation needed]
  1. Go to install in the installation folder.
  2. Run the installers located there and try installing/launching again.
  3. 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.[6]
Disable Lucid Virtu MVP control panel[citation needed]

If you're running Lucid Virtu MVP, you will need to disable the control panel entirely, not just uncheck Metro 2033 from the application list.

Crash during Depot level

How to fix[citation needed]

This may be due to crouching while your companion is being dragged off the cart. Just don't do that.

Game crash after level loading

Restart the chapter[citation needed]

Vertical black bar lines appear

Switch from DirectX 11 to 9[7]

Low FPS fix
