Low FPS fix
A) Go to the Steam game directory for this game (Steam\steamapps\common\Metro 2033). Find the file user.cfg and rename it to user.txt. Do not delete the file because it contains some keyboard bindings recreated automatically by the game.
B) Go under UserX\Appdata\Local\4A Games\Metro2033\ directory (where UserX is your username). Be sure to have the ability to look for hidden files or you will not see the "Local" directory and its content. Inside you will find the user.cfg used by the game. Delete it (yes, delete it, don't worry).
C) Start the game, adjust the settings to your liking, exit the game.
D) Return under the UserX\Appdata\Local\4A Games\Metro2033\ directory. You will see that the file user.cfg has being recreated. Now open another window and go inside the game directory. Open the user.txt . Now you have to paste all "bind ..." keyboard commands (the one with "kX" as "kESCAPE" for example)inside the user.cfg file. You must do this because there are some bindings that as I said are not recreated by default. If you don't do this step for example the ESC key will not work to go to the menu while you are playing.
