Changing the esc key help please

[John Papa]

OK, on my pc i have an unresponsive escape key. so i cant open the menu to save or anything... Is there a wayi can change it so its not escape to open menus and stuff, and its just like [ or ] or any other key then escape thanks!

I don't think you can change that in game, but you can use a program like autohotkey and make it whatever you want.

[⌥]

Yeah, Autohotkey, or maybe you can change the bind in the user.cfg file. Also, You cant manually save, in Metro. Which makes sense, since if you could, you could just quick save your way through tough areas, defeating the difficulty of the game. Checkpoints, and redoing whole sections for the win!

is there a vid on how to change esc?

Havent checked, and I also haven't tried this:

I:\Steam\steamapps\Common\Metro 2033 Redux

at the very bottom is user.cfg
18th line down is where a command is bound to kEscape
try changing it to kHome or something of your choice, but remember to include the "k"

again i have not tried this, but I imagin it should work, only thing i could see happening, is maybe they have certain contexts hardcoded to Escape, like backing out of an ammo / weapon purchase screen, etc. But i would find that unlikely.

I did it then went into game and it changed itself back to escape, thanks for the help but i guess i will have to deal with it..

Nvm i cant deal with it, i am on amission where i need to buy something from the shop but i cant exit from the shop

use autohotkey:

This should do it:

escape::home

or if you like home where it is:

escape::ins


and are you on a laptop? if not maybe just go pickup a new keyboard?

[Jig McGalliger]

So just use AHK to bind say, the F1 key to the esc command. Though I probably would have tried to set the config file to read only after manually setting the keybinding... not sure if it will work but it is worth a shot.

This seems to be a common problem. It has happened to me twice now in just 12 hours of playing.

You need to find 'user.cfg' in both
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Metro 2033 Redux
and
C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\4A Games\Metro 2033\110000102b14b9e
and then replace the contents of the file with the following.
Do this while the game is not running.
