Can't select proper resolution

[Shadow28]

I'm running the game on a 4k tv. I can't select my native resolution in the game. Can't even select 2560x1440. It shows normal resolutions up to full HD, but then just has resolutions I can't use like 2048x2536. Tried changing the resolution via the user file but that did not do anything.

Post your full system specs along with the desktop's native resolution and game settings.

Just delete everything under the sentence "Native RES...." its the default User.cfg in programfolder and has no valuable info to your question. The one you must change is located in another folder. Make sure your browser shows hidden files. C/Users/yourname/Appdata/Local/4Agames/Metro 2033/1110000xxxx/User.cfg. Edit in this file. You can make a shortcut to you desctop.

[Shadow28]

Heres the other one. I tried changing resolution in here as well but it also doesnt work. It always resets.

Be sure your TV/cable can 60hz 4k. Maybe run as admin or set this to read only when changing res to 4k.

[Shadow28]

My TV can run 4K 60 with other games. And changint the file to read only after changing the res to 4K did not help either.

Also tried admin and compatability modes, same issue.

[Pure & Rustic]

Make sure you have admin rights for the the user, if not change and restart.
And maybe a dumb question, but you have to take off read only before you change anything. Then save changes and close it, set read only and then open to see if the changes is there.
See if your TV has a setting for game and use/configure that. Maybe you can do some changes there that could help. I remember my nephew get a new tv for his xbox and it dint work like the old one. The new one was with hdmi cable and a lot different settings. All we had to do was to set the tv to choose game settings when xbox was started and he was super happy with it. Turn Vsync off.

[Shadow28]

The game used to work before on the TV. The only things that changed are the cpu and the windows fall update.

[Phobos Keel]

where's the config file on the linux version?

[Pure & Rustic]

I have no idea. I guesss you can search for files in Linux too!!! See that the path for such a file as user.cfg, contains Metro 2033, and are not in the game folder.

Edit: in windows, this folder /4Agames has to be set to shared to work properly

[busterc48]

Try running the metro_benchmark.exe file in the Steam Library root folder and set it to the Resolution your looking for. Thencreate a Preset to run at start.

[Shnozberrys]

Has anyone found a fix for this? I'm experiencing the exact same thing.

[GiffusMcSiddius]

Also having an issue playing this game above 1600 x 900 on my LG B7. Tried cfg changes and Nvidia control panel but nothing works. Frustrating.

[timmorrisjr]

Any updates? I’m having the same problem. Highest res available is 2048x1536. Changing the cfg file does nothing. Every other game runs fine at a 4K res except for Metro Redux. This is one of only two results I can find when searching for this problem. It must not be a widespread problem.
