Official Metro 2033 Feedback Thread

It's really annoying you can't modify that stuff separately... what were they thinking?

Perhaps there is an ini method.

From Steam forum:

you can adjust pretty much every setting (including mouse sensitivity) here:

Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Local\4A Games\Metro 2033\user.cfg

you can also adjust the horrible default FOV, which is 45 (wtf were they thinking?).

you can also put in:

g_global_god on
g_god on
g_unlimitedammo on

lol, just make sure u make the user.cfg file read only.

45!?!?!...holy crap thats terrible...atleast they added the options in the cfg...

I am running max setting at dx10 and had my cp to enhance at 8xAA and never saw it drop to single digits but I didn't get to play too much last night. Guess DX11 turned out like Early Dx10 not worth the performance cost for the little graphics improvement.

I don't think the FOV is at 45 but rather at a point in the game it is forced to 45, check out the command in the user.cfg

sick_camera 0.
sick_fov 45.
sick_mblur 0.
sick_mouse 0.
sick_slowmo 0.

This game is a well done console port, not the other way around like they claimed. Lots of things are just weird. No Quick Saves, No Full Body even though at times it seems like it should have it. Video Option choices are limited to Low, Med, High and Very High (can't configure them). No Walk option, must crouch. Forces me to use Wired X360 Gamepad and only prompts me with its buttons during tutorial even though Keyboard works fine.

What a load of crap these developers spewed. It's like Just Cause2, only thing PC-centric are the game engine features, not the actual gameplay. Lame. And holy crap, FOV of 45!!!!

Like I stated, I don't believe the actual gameplay FOV is 45, that would be too close (unless its really well done since I get headaches with Borderlands default FOV). I think its a scene in the game that changes the FOV.

My main gripe was the fact that it forces me to use the controller if its plugged in. I mean even if I use the K&M as long as its plugged in the game shows the prompts and even during some scenes I had to use the controller (like skipping scenes or clearing a tutorial prompt).

I noticed this too - my wireless is normally off but I had just finished playing some AC2 and it was left on when I noticed Metro had unlocked. After loading, having only the option to use the controller scared me - I thought it didn't use keyboard! Shutting down my controller fixed that at least.

As for performance, I'm getting about 40fps in town (haven't ventured out yet - will probably start over later) at 1920x1200 default High settings with AAA and 4xAF. I played around with VSync because I noticed a lot of screen tearing, since the FPS is already low, it didn't seem to change anything FPS-wise, but the mouse didn't seem as smooth. I may have to forgo VSync (forced through nHancer).

I'm a little leery of tackling the .cfg file though - this looks like a good candidate for a Tweakguide article and I'll watch to see what they adjust and how it looks/performs. But if it stays around 35-40 even through battles, it'll be playable. Not even sure if I should risk Very High... maybe with no AAA?

I would like to just disable the DOF. It's weird that its during cut scenes but once the gameplay loads its not as present.

What are you guys impressions of the actual gameplay?

Yeah enough whining already

The little I played it was fun. It seems very scripted though, much like Half-Life 2.
