Anyone else is having the same problem?

Metro 2033 Redux gray dots

Is just my LG monitor problem? Or is a generic Linux problem?

Looks like an engine issue, since more people get it, it's not from your hardware.

Very weird...

The more visual quality I set, the more gray dots I have... With the settings at medium, there is no gray dots....

I have to do more experiments..

Can you update your driver? Try at least the 352 stable series and see what happens, you're using a pretty old driver.

If You tell me how to do that on Ubuntu...

Been a while. But yes I got that too if I turned the "quality " option too high. When it first came out loads of people were talking about it on steams forums. I have seen it on 2 of my friends linux boxes aswell. The only thing we all had in common was Nvidia Gpu's. So it's not a problem with your computer.

P.s. I couldn't tell the game looked any worse by lowering that option. I took bunch of screenshots both ways. And apart from the dots, the higher settings didn't look at all better.

Not sure why you quoted me in your response there. At the time I had the very latest drivers as always. And I never use Ubuntu or Mint. Which is probably why I always have the latest drivers without needing stupid PPA's.

I managed to install the 352.63 version... The problem persists

I have the Windows version too, thanks to GOG, and I can tell You that this problem doesn't exist at High and Very High Quality... In fact, in windows, the game looks better and better with those presets..

I think the Medium quality is the only true quality available in the Linux version... The High and Very High quality must be faked by some filters.

All this makes me wonder how 4A Games made this port... Maybe it was made from the PS4 version and not from the Windows version.
