metro 2033 bundle issues

[Bl00dgod]

anyone else has problems running metro 2033 and metro2033 light redux?

downloaded it from steam and when i try to start it instantly crashes and asks if i want to start in compatibility mode because it failed last time

 

cant find a fix, already reinstalled and checked the files with steam but it wont work

 

win7 64, i7 4790k @ 4,6ghz, 16gb ddr3 1866, 980ti sc+ acx 2.0+ and the latest team green drivers

 

thanks in advance

i'll try your solution then too @noisebomb44

tried alot of other "fixes"

like putting the latest physx from the nvidia files into the metro files

repaired vcredist

reinstalled the game

checked the game files with steam

resolution and DX changes in the config

nothing worked

Although have you tried uninstalling the new physicsx drivers you already have on your computer, and replacing them with the old ones found in the game directory? There seems to be a lot of people who solved it that way

wouldnt that cause problems with newer games then if they need the latest physics?

i'll try that too

 

thanks alot i hope this solves my problem

would be too bad if i had to give it back

Maybe, although there are not that many out there that require the latest physicsx drivers

If you really wanted to you could make a virtual machine dedicated to metro 2033, or just reinstall the drivers every time you want to switch game

i'm already running a virtualbox for the win7 64bit on my ubuntu machine

try running the benchmark without starting the game

It works for some people, even though the main game crashes, and it should narrow down the possibilities

nope not even the benchmark is working just crashes onto desktop

Try this

Quote

1) Find legal.ogv file in /Metro 2033 Redux/2033 folder.
2) Copy legal.ogv file to somewhere 'safe' on your system where you can find it later if you need to. Delete the original legal.ogv file in the 2033 folder.
3) Open Notepad, click Save As, then save as legal.ogv. This creates a blank ogv file. Save this file in the /Metro 2033 Reux/2033 folder.
4) You should now be able to launch the game, and you also won't have the long intro video (legal.ogv is the intro video I believe - that's what's been causing the hangs & crashes when people have been getting black screens on startup).

 

Also, are you running any recording programs like dxtory in the background, it seems to cause problems

The only thing i can think of then is disabling the steam overlay and steam cloud sync for the game

And maybe forcing it into windowed mode by going into the settings file will help

[Bl00dgod]

not even that works @noisebomb44

publisher and steam support dont answer so i guess i´ll take my money back and play it in my fantasy ...

thx for your help noisebomb
