Is the Night Vision Goggles bug ever going to be fixed?

[TheStakAttak]

After struggling with Metro 2033's horrible screen tearing and unimplemented vsync issues for a long time I decided to buy the Redux version, only to be greeted with its own host of problems. By far the most annoying is the glitch that makes Artyom put on his Night Vision Goggles at the beginning of every encounter, cutscene or entering towns. It is at best a nuisance and at worst making the game next to unplayable (Trolley Combat took me literally half an hour because I was blinded by all the lights and was unable to take off my NVG). I googled it and apparently it's a known, widespread bug and has been since release and has never been fixed, the only way to avoid it is hope you get lucky or never pick up the NVG.

Is there seriously no mod or ingame way to fix this? I've verified the cache, restarted several times, loaded previous checkpoints, nothing helps. Short of starting over and never picking up the NVG, is this seriously going to be with me the rest of the game?

That's weird, I hope it does not happen to me, could it be because you play with controller or keyboard? did you try switching

I really, really doubt that's going to make a difference. I think it's because in a certain level you are ambushed by two Reich soldiers and I had my NVG on at the time and they stayed on during a cutscene. Best advice I can give is during the level Frontline, don't use the goggles at all if it's your first time playing through. That may have been what caused the glitch.

Why do they trash games like this with stupid garbage? When they create a spot where one can hardly get by they trash their own game. Here I am at the end of the trolley thing and as soon as the checkpoint starts something launches a rocket and destroys my ride. It doesn't take but a little bit of stupid to TRASH an otherwise great product.

i found night vision and went "AWESOME NIGHT VISION DIDN"T EVEN KNOW THAT WAS IN THE GAME" then the night vision decides to turn on every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cutscene and then decided that i wish i never picked up the night vision.

What made me stop playing was the game felt like a pointless FPS aspect, throwing surival horror simply by making certain enemies unkillable and not giving you enough ammo.

it still had pointless mazes, where if you go the wrong way, you generally die, arbitrarily, and ...platforming puzzles.

Please do not put platforming puzzles into first person games. I will dock points, and the third one I see I'll stop playing.

they are very bad. if I wanted a platformer I'd be playing Ratchet and clank or something. why in gods name do you do this.

if you want to make a maze go ahead but don't make it nessary for the objective. I don't want to be lost for 30 minutes because I have no idea where I'm supposed to be going.

Yeah....game had a good atmosphere but the designers didn't make me happy. is there even a map button?

...never tried on the goggles. make it clear where the hell I'm supposed to go, because being lost is never fun.

What the hell does that have to do with this topic?

this has nothing to do with the topic and its not that hard to find out where you go cause pressing m will bring out a lighter and what ever way the flame is pointing that is where the objective is.
