Favorite thriller story: Hotel dusk Room 215

Scariest moment: I was playing silent hill 1 at 3 AM, after killing the giant dog and getting out of the school I was searching for the hospital when I heard a girl's scream outside (irl). There's a ravine behind my house, and the window on my room faces the ravine. The scream came from there. I never played silent hill again, and could not sleep that night. It could've been an animal, but it really sounded like a human.

Quoting: pete910

Quoting: HonorEDnlKI have a 270x myself and moved from open source drivers to 14.06 drivers, and now I just updated to 14.12 omega drivers and I can already tell it runs a LOT better, specially faster loading times, try updating your drivers Pete910, it might help.

My only problem was having startup crashes due to my previous video settings before the update, so for those having startup crashes, try deleting / reverting settings in the user.cfg file. There are two files but you're looking for a copy made into your save folder (the one with the gibberish name)

I updated a previous post regarding the user.cfg file too if you want to change resolutions. I'm gonna start over to compare performance / graphics, I've read a few forum threads on the web praising FPS increments.

All ready on the omega drivers. Might try a remove and re-install though.

Quoting: omer666What is your SSAA setting? Turning it to 0.5 could help...

It's off <img alt="" src="/includes/jscripts/markitup/emoticons/cry.png" data-sceditor-emoticon=":'(">

Maybe it's because its running 1440p, Set different res in the user.cfg and it makes no difference.

I'll have a mess and see what I can do. Might be something else causing it I suppose.

There are two user.cfg files, one is located in the game folder and the other one is where your saved games are, try editing your resolution on that one and it should work, there are other interesting configurations like tessellation but I haven't tried if it works yet. It seems that the game also runs at your native resolution so try changing your desktop's resolution before running the game.

I was getting smooth gameplay but I've reached open areas where the drop is noticeable, I'll have to lower my settings but I think that the Linux port still needs to be optimized.

Quoting: FredOCan anybody confirm is it's working well with the ATI proprietary drivers? Also if there are no options to set the resolution, is it at least using the default resolution set in the driver settings?

Confirming it works on AMD R9 270x with last version of catalyst proprietary drivers.

As for the resolution there are two values that seem to set the resolution in the user.cfg file that might work:

r_res_hor 1920
r_res_vert 1200

The file is located in /steamapps/common/Metro 2033 Redux/

However I have not tried this yet so I can't confirm it works, I'll post my results as soon as I do.

EDIT: Changing the resolution in the user.cfg worked

EDIT # 2: After saving your settings or saving the game, a new user.cfg is created in your save folder which is the one the game refers to at launch. If your game crashes after the tunnel intro, delete the user.cfg file. This happened to me when updating my AMD drivers from 14.06 to 14.12.

Confirming it's available for Download in Linux, excellent news for those who were worried. This site is great too, just made my account :)

Remember to purchase / play in linux so we can keep these releases coming.
