its in steams/user/blablabla, its the user.cfg

theres more too in it but its too much to post.

Thats the default \ backup one. The one you want is in C:\Users\Account Name\AppData\Local\4A Games\Metro 2033

How ever if you look in the default one there is OTHER options maybe some can be combined with Very High settings.

Another idea would to be to load the game up with low options copy the user.cfg file and then load the game up with very high settings and see if there is options you can use from the low settings that you could add tot he very High settings.

As it's annoying as hell as i bet my system be perfectly ok if the shadows were a little lower.

Yea I found it but I do not understand it.
I don't know where to find SSAO at all
Help me if you can please!!!!!!!

Man this game is fantastic!!!
it has been some time since I really enjoyed a PC game!
I loved Stalker and this game has it written all over it!!! I LOVES IT!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know the only command close to it i have found is r_dbg_disable_occq 1 which don't seem to work or not at least by looking at the video options.

Game is finished. Nice, but could be better. In my view, it has little replay value.

 

[Irish_PXzyan]

By the time someone figures out how to set the graphics manually I will also be finished the game
Problem with games like this is I never play them again!
ALways knowing whaw is going to happen sucks!

agreed. it also messes with me watching TV shows (mostly american stuff where it 'resets' after every episode) - and the opposite is true as well, you cant make something that relies on sudden twists and plot changes have any replay/re-watch value, since those tricks only work the first time (such as in the FEAR games)

Yeah but with FEAR i ended up playing it though twice. As i played it carefully 1st time around as FEAR gave you that option to play it like your life the ment some thing were as most just ran though it were i did not till the second time around which i noticed different things happening though out that game with either way i played. And if your getting though a game that fast it should be on a hardest setting as a friend said to me once he was bored now hi finished a game i just told him he should play shit on hardest possible settings games last better that way.

This is why Bioware are so good at what they do. I have 3 games here waiting to be played ( Metro \ Bioshock and now AvP with steam having a sale .


All because of Dragon Age and the options and second time though and still have the x pac to play though. And will play it on the hardest possible settings as thets the real way to play.

 

[raptori]

Did anyone notice difference between using external sound card and onboard sound card in this game??

 

[Irish_PXzyan]

Yea FEAR was great!
I enjoyed it!
I took my sweet ass time with it!
I remember a scene where you see a shadow of a person walking across a corner!!
That got to me the most!! was brilliant!!!

Metro is fantastic! But I will never play it again

Only RPG games. Like Gothic 3 I played several times!

Hey how do I change gas masks or whatever I have to do when my mask gets cracked? Also can I tweak indivulal settings. I want some where between Very High and High. Very High is to much lag and High gives to much performance with crappy detail.

Find a new mask on the ground (or a corpse), and hold the "use" button, like you would if you were picking up a new weapon or grabbing goodies.


I've actually had to adjust where I aim (compared toa typical FPS) when it's time for a new mask - if you tend to aim for the head, you'll damage your opponents gasmask beyond use. Comes in handy, though, as when you're on the surface, one or two shots to the face tends to knonkc their gasmask off, and they suffocate rather quickly.

Thanks now I just need to figure out how to tweak it.

This game is currently downloading while I'm at work. Will taste it tonight and see how it runs on my 5850 Crossfire. I would imagine 1080p maxed will give me 30-40 FPS so I will set it at 900p which would prob give me ~40+FPS. I will take photos and videos on the days to come

 

[alexsubri]

I opened a new thread but I will ask again here. Re quick my crossfire is running 10.3a and my Metro2033 is getting EXTREMELY hot 91c. I have everything stock. Any suggestions?

 

[TVman]

this game seems to be a port FROM the pc to xbox360

Is it just this game or any other ones. Are you using manual fan control and at what speed?

 

[alexsubri]

Just this game :-( all fans sre set to automatic. Is it becaus I have physix enabled? I am going to bed really tired do not want headache before I sleep

Thanks for the help I will check back in he AM

Ok no worries, not sure about the advanced physics enabled, I have it enabled and i have no issues so far but I like to have my fan on manual, I rather control it myself, depending on the weather here, I ussualy have it on 40% speed most of the time depending on the game and weather.

I'll see if i can dig up anything while your sleepin, night night lol

 

[DTV DRAGON]

I just aquired the game.... and installed in on my puter niow, I played it for about 30 minutes but Iam in too much pain to day to do anymore, sucks.. I hate this, guys never take your health for granted. I hope to try to play it again in a few days

Ouch, does this engine share any similarities to the one used in Cryostasis game?

As soon as I hit the main menu, I had a feeling performance was going to be pretty low.
The default video configuration is something like 1680 resolution, with high overall visuals, 1x AF and no MSAA, yet I was pulling low 20s with my 2d clocks on.

I bumped it up to DX 10, 1920x1200, 4 AA, 16x AF, etc. and even at max 3d clocks, I'm peaking at best around 18-20fps.

It feels so much like Cryostasis did on ATi cards; you have this game built around Physx, and even with the option off, it runs horrendous.

I'm currently under Win7, going to try it on Vista with DX10, then the DX9 variants before switching the executable name.

But boy does it sure tank hard.

EDIT:

DX10 seems to actually run a bit higher than DX9. I mainly gained back frames from using "High" which consequently means no AA as well. But gaining back forty+++ frames I suppose is worth it.


Still hunting around for a cfg settings tweak, or maybe I'll just shelf this until I put in a DX11 card.

try using this tool

hey guys i was wondering how you tell how many fps you get when you play this game or others?Is there some sort of program you run in background?

FRAPS is my guess

 

[wolf2009]

Avivo, H.264 25mbps bitrate

That is with 2 5850's 875/1200 PII 965 3.8ghz all max settings DX11 w/ AAA.

come again ?

you recorded with FRAPS or AVIVO ? or just encoded with Avivo ?

 

[alexsubri]

Okay guys/gals, so here's my culprit...

Last night around 3 AM (EST time, of course ) I wanted to try this bad boy out. So, as I was ready to launch, stupid nVidia wouldn't let me play my game. (Physix.dll could not load blah blah blah) So, I did some quick research and found out how to fix this issue. IF ANYBODY HAS THIS ISSUE, LETME KNOW I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO FIX IT

Okay, so I load the game up, maxed out everything at 1080p. I go to the first chapter. I noticed my graphics card was pushing itself alot because I hear a little jet engine inside my case. I went to close the program and little did I find out that the game was running at 91c. I was like WTF?!! So, I went to bed. The next morning after work, I gave it one more try, but I toook the advice to set my manual fans between 40-60%. I tried it again and played it for about an hour. Here and there you can hear the jet engine again, but I have some faith in my XFX and I know it could use a little beating

Afterwards, I check the temp and it was around ~81c. I found out that setting my manual fans made it run a lot more smoother.

I did notice however, that my game is getting kick ass FPS!!

Idle scenes 90-110 FPS
Battle scense 40-60 FPS

No lie, I have enclosed a 2 second clip to show how amazing this game looks for those who are wondering.

Without further ado, my last question is this:


To those with Crossfire 5850 --Does this game make your card reach around 75-85c? Also, does it make your card push it's buttons?

Thanks guys!!
