Metro 2033

From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games

Template:Infobox

Upcoming sequel: Metro Last Night (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 ) navigate to :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\install\

and run that program. The game can now start normally

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.

  1. Go to Metro 2033's AppData folder at C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\4A Games\Metro 2033\user.cfg or somewhere similar.
  2. Open user.cfg and look for sick_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.
  3. Save and close the file.
  4. Right-click on the file and go to Properties.
  5. Check the Read-Only box and save those settings.
  6. Repeat the process for user.cfg files found in C:\Program Files\Steam\userdata\RANDOM NUMBERS\43110\remote\user.cfg and C:\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).
