Update thread

[Professor Pew]

Moved updates to a separate thread. Added new update (6) for 23 July 2013.

Updates

Update 1: A Patch has been released to fix an issue with random crashes at the start for some hardware configurations, as well as some stereo bugs with 3D vision.

Update 2: A new patch is now live in Steam distribution. Restart Steam if it doesn't download.

- Optimized performance for AMD hardware
- Fixed shadow visual corruption bug for AMD 7xxx cards.
- Fixed issue with game starting only in 3:1 resolution on some TVs.
- Added option to manually tweak FOV via the config file:

After starting the game up, the user.cfg will be updated with the r_base_fov attribute. You can find this in %LOCALAPPDATA%\4A Games\Metro LL\. Tweak it at your leisure!

Update 3: Fixed the Lcore.exe performance issue.

Update 4: Fixed the stutter bug. Thread synchronization mechanism was tuned for PCs with four or less hardware threads. Steam crash dump collection system was added. Changes to Czech language text.

Update 5: Fixed performance drop issue with tessellation set to "Very High." Added difficulty selection for Faction Pack levels.

Update 6: "Fixes save game crash during level progression" (seems to have resolved the D6 crash issue)

Hello,

before the today´s patch i had absolute no problems with 3d Vision2. Now i had one CTD and flickering textures all over....

I play the game with an Intel 3770k and 3x Titan SLI ( 320.49 ).
i also tried 314.22. Same problem.

i figured out that the problem exists only if the quality setting is "very high".

Thanksfor adding the option to press Q to start the new DLC packs. Bringing back mouse control in Win8.1 would of been nicer but this works fine until that day.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have fixed the frozen NPC problem.

[Captain Grumpy]

Since this patch, I've had my first CTD, during the loading for the D6 mission. tried in safe mode, and it crashes every time. Didn't have any problems before this patch.

Im having some glitches on the dlc

Heavy squad level
Weapons locking up / unresponsive controls even when theres no npcs in front (cant shoot, recharge railgun etc)
Weapon disappearing when you grab a new one (grenade luncher for ex)
Weapon grab animations not triggering properly sometimes
Colision detection of cover sowewhat bugged
i also had a funnie bug where at the end scene one of my enemis was still in cover and shooting amongst his dead comrades


Polis level (this seems a bit more polished)
Enemies death animation not triggering properly (especially lurkers they just stand there living but are dead and skinned)
enemies sometimes blink out, disappear for a fraction of a sec. mostly nosalis

These are the main glitches ive experience

I stil have the ocasional hicups but their not very agravating, other than that performance has been pretty smooth in both dlc and the main game (much better than metro 2033 strangely)

In the main game it sometime freezes at the bandits level when you find the train car with the refugees but its a rare freeze. Also when pavel betrays you sometimes he is facing the wrong side and his cup stands there floating in mid air :P , some crazy random npc bugs like enemies ive killed who are down but still have their living animations / ulman on the end of the d6 mission keeps shooting like crazy at invisible foes even thou the fight is over (just before the big train) with hilarious results :)

Im loving the dlc, it has a lot of interesting ideas and met my expectations so far.
The polis level is wonderful, love the survival experience especially on ranger hardcore, the reich mission is intense and has great effects, and fun for a quick metro LL destruction

Also like how 4a tried to implement randomness in both reich (snipers for ex allways appear in different positions) and polis level with the stalker vibe. I have yet to try the sniper level

Keep up the good work, for me metro Last Last is the best 2013 game so far along with bioshock infinite. This is one of the best post appocaliptic games out there for sure along with stalker series, great talent in ukraine :) . I recommend this to all fps/ atmosfear/ survival / post appocaliptic aficionados.

[Lost Cipher]

The difficulty options for the DLC does nothing.

This the The Update Thread. It would shame to be swamped by other posts not concerning.

I'm having the same problems since this patch. Other levels play just fine, but D6 mission crashes on loading. After Artyom says "he is gone" crash.
