Issues fixed

Washed out colors

Use the -deependark command line argument[4]
Removes the postprocess white effect
Use the -forcenohdr command line argument[4]
Forces HDR off


"Negative" effect occurring randomly throughout gameplay

A problem with the image randomly becoming negative on RTX 4xxx cards has been reported with NVIDIA drivers newer than 522.25.[5][6]
NVIDIA driver 527.37 contains a fix for this bug[7], alternatively can be fixed by downgrading to version 522.25 or older.


Heavy stuttering, even at main menu

It seems certain AMD CPUs with asymmetric CCDs (e.g. 7900x3D, 7950x3D) are having severe stuttering issues on Windows due to dynamic core parking.[8]
Set the Windows power plan to High Performance to prevent core parking[9]
May prevent similar issues in other games in the future.
Doesn't require installation of additional software.
May have unintended side-effects (e.g. increased power draw) and be too drastic of a change to make for a single game (supposedly AMD recommends Windows' Balanced power plan for their asymmetric CPUs).

OR

Use Process Lasso to disable Windows Dynamic Thread Priority Boost for the game's executable
Only applies to Metro Exodus instead of changing the entire PC's power plan.
Requires installation of third-party software which has some features locked behind a paywall.
  1. Download and install Process Lasso.
  2. Launch Metro Exodus.
  3. Find MetroExodus.exe in Process Lasso's list of running processes and right-click on it.
  4. In the context menu, navigate to CPU Priority -> Current or CPU Priority -> Always[Note 2] and uncheck "Window dynamic thread priority boosts enabled".

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1449560/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1449560) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  2. "Current" only applies it for this launch of the game, "Always" means Process Lasso will apply the setting automatically on every launch (may be a paid feature, unsure).
