[Chance Hale]

Now playing Metro 2033 Redux, launched fine.

Good lord the new crawl to the main menu takes forever. Worse than Last Light.

 

[therealminime]

Yep, 2033 launched fine here. Win7.

 

[UnwrittenZero]

Same problem. Launcher fires up an msiexec to complete some sort of install, fails.

Win8x64.

This is why I love my ps4.

 

[Sharpshot]

Gotta be kidding me. Did they not even try to run it under Win8?

No luck with compatability mode either.

 

[Mechazawa]

Wow, so they changed the Steam release time? It told me it would unlock later in the afternoon tomorrow when I checked earlier today.

Did you enjoy getting kicked out of single player games yesterday?

This happens all the time, timers often lie.

And I'm using Windows 8, 64 bit.

PC-GAF loses again. Sorry guys.

That only happened to people who were game sharing.

Fair enough, no reason for me to try to get snarky. I like my PS4 and other consoles

Spoiler

but not as much as my 780Ti

Both 2033 and Last Light Redux both launch and work for me.

Edit: Person below me did remind me that I am using 8.1, but shouldn't everyone with 8 have upgraded?

 

[Kyo645]

Playing on windows 8.1 x64 and its working fine
Wonder whats going on with 8 :/

No luck reinstalling DX/VC++ redists. Gotta love dem sloppy releases.

Fresh install, Win8.1/Nvidia setup (MSI GS70 2PE)

 

[Chance Hale]

Weird, the games seem to share settings. Turned on physx/SSAA .5 and Ranger Hardcore mode in 2033 menu and switched to Last Light where the same things were adjusted from default.

Right click the game, properties, local files, verify integrity of game cache. Might have missed some files in the pre-load.

 

[IcyRhythms]

What a disaster. How you gonna have the Redux of your own game and have crashes to desktop the moment the game goes live?

 

[phantomspiker]

2033 is crashing to desktop with no message on Win 7 64bit.

Nope, no luck. Tried Last Light too.

 

[bbd23]

launched fine for me

forgot how nice the intro looks

 

[Chance Hale]

Survival/Ranger Hardcore go! Beat the original games on Ranger Hardcore so it shouldn't be too challenging. Hopefully they fixed the broken (enemy spoiler)

Spoiler

amoeba

section in the original game.

 

[Mechazawa]

These 2033 Redux video settings are disappointingly barebones, but I guess it makes sense given the original Last Light's options.

 

[Marjar]

Game is crashing to desktop for me. Intro movie looks like some cel shaded shit. Thought it was intentional at first lol.

I hate PC gaming sometimes.

Windows 7 btw

 

[Chance Hale]

They added the Last Light spiders to the webs in the 2033 intro. The horror!

 

[UnwrittenZero]

Did you enjoy getting kicked out of single player games yesterday?

Actually my shit was set up as my primary so I played my games quite fine I'm 100% digital too.

 

[IcyRhythms]

Running with Dxtory causes the crash for me. Disabled it and the game boots fine.

 

[Social]

Happened to me, no game sharing at all.

 

[RoboPlato]

Your PS4 wasn't set as your primary?

 

[Chance Hale]

IQ seems really bad for some reason, don't have SSAA at 2X because the framerate drops to around 50 but .5 on top of what it uses at default should be fine as its supersampling.

And they seem to have removed the impressive volumetric lights from the prologue, and made the knife just a quick slash instead of an equippable item like in the original. Great start!

 

[therealminime]

Performance is really good for me. SSAA is off, quality is set to high, everything else is on and I'm getting a pretty constant 45-60fps at 1440p. (gtx 680, i7-2600k)

Intro looks weird for me, too, but the game isn't crashing.

Win7 x64.

 

[Chance Hale]

Looks alright for a HL2 mod

 

[xBladeM6x]

They really optimized the shit out of 2033. Holy shit, it's perfectly smooth and actually playable at high settings now. (660 Ti)

Such things happen when you remove the incredibly advanced lighting and depth of field effects that made 2033 stand out even today.

doesn't putting SSAA on 0.5 make it run at like half the resolution? thats why your IQ is bad

 

[Chance Hale]

It's 0.5 X so I wouldn't think so right? I'm probably dumb though.

Edit: Was thinking 50% more than the resolution but that wouldn't be right. I slept 3 hours last night and nothing makes sense You're totally right though, turned it off and lost a ton of performance at 2560x1600. I feel really dumb, lol. Thanks.

Runs at around 50 FPS at that resolution at Very High and everything on. That is of course gross so I will turn it back to 1920x1200. 780Ti

 

[btags]

Maybe I am just being totally thick, but I can't figure out how to wipe off the visor in 2033 (on xbox one). They did say they added that to the redux version of 2033, right? If so does anyone know how to do this?

 

[xBladeM6x]

True. I would have appreciated an advanced video options like in most modern PC games, where you can mix and match settings, instead of pre-loaded Low - Very High settings. Though, I'm sure there's some .ini changes that can be made for that.

 

[xBladeM6x]

They did. (I'm on PC otherwise I'd tell you how to)

I am playing on the PC as well but it should be a quick tap of the button you use to put on the gas mask, instead of the normal hold.

Really bummed they got rid of the knife as an equippable weapon. Last Light made some really terrible changes to how items worked.

 

[TheStruggler]

 

[Dictator Damocles]

Did they really kill the lighting in 2033?
I saw some Last Light comparisons and they made everything considerably brighter

 

[Chance Hale]

G-Man is in the game too! The animation for his tongue flicking about his mouth was really weird and disturbing.

Hate when the fraps counter gets captured >_>

Edit: They seem to have made it to where reloading your weapon dumps your current clip. Obsessive reloaders beware!

 

[Marjar]

Yeah still can't get it to work.

Guess I'll just wait.

 

[btags]

I tried that but it does not seem to work. The diagrams for the controls are absolutely horrible for the xbox one version. I had to find out how to even put on my gas mask or turn on my flashlight by going to the help menu that brings you to an xbox menu outside of the game.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Anyone know the official filesize for PS4 version of both games?

 

[Casimir]

Try Shadowplay.

Gamefaqs saids LB tap, if not that then it's been changed. For the PC version all you do is tap g.

There's rubble when you shoot at the walls and ceilings at least!

Try Shadowplay.

Yeah, I need to use it more. Just used to running fraps in the background whereas Shadowplay makes my card go from 30C idle to 44

Edit: Anyone else getting artifacts in water?

Sorry for terrible steam screenshots, I'm too lazy to upload the lossless versions

 

[Deleted member 102362]

Playing, running fine so far. Question about the beginning of the game (spoilered just to be safe):

Spoiler

In the hospital at the start, there was a highlighted book on the doctor's desk that I picked up. For the life of me, I can't remember what this does. Can someone kindly refresh me?

Press escape, diary.

Oh god, tell me my videocard isn't dying.

I'd say overheating or some dogshit with the optimization of the Redux. Got it up an running everything maxed on my 770(-SSAA)running 60FPS solid in 2033.

Thanks!

Also that looks pretty bad. :/

 

[Chance Hale]

Card got up to 67 degrees but it goes up to 82 before it starts freaking out. Runs at a steady 60 FPS, max outside of SSAA. Very high, advanced physx turned on, etc.

 

[Nizz]

Am I the only one who thinks the aiming/sensitivity feels extremely slow in 2033? This is the first game where I had to crank the settings to max, and it still feels very slow to me. I haven't tried LL yet. Hopefully, it doesn't feel the same.

And the game looks fantastic on XB1. If every game was 912p from now on, I'd be very happy.

Oh, this is something I was worried about. If the game's controls/sensitivity felt slow or not. So they don't feel snappy as in say COD or Battlefield 4 (if you've played those games).

I love the controls in BF4 on PS4 and Metro Redux will be getting here tomorrow (well, later today now). Hoping that with me fiddling with the sensitivity it'll feel comparable. Regardless, I can't wait to try these games.
