METRO EXODUS HOT FIX - 27 MAY 2020

[S A N E]

We are pleased to let you know that the latest hotfix for Metro Exodus has now been deployed. This includes Denuvo removal, filter fix for Sam's Story and Epic save backups. We thank you for your patience during the wait for this update. The hotfix for Stadia users will follow, stay tuned for updates.

Hotfix notes are as follows:

Removed Denuvo from Steam, Epic, Xbox PC Gamepass versions.
Fixed the rapidly discharging filter issue in Sam’s Story on all platforms (extreme timer depletion in fog).
This fixes the filter issue just after getting the boat from the humanimal hunter lair and proceeding into the fog beyond. Filters depleting quickly in the high rad zone near the sub base without the proper hazmat suit from the fire depot, is by design.
Added save backup functionality for Epic version in case of cloud save malfunction.
Browse to the default save folder to find a “.backup” folder.
Fixed camera rotation issue with latest Nvidia Ansel update.
Fixed various crashes.

Thank you so much! I was waiting for the crashes to be fixed before playing again.

current known bug with new version, unable to start due to missing key, is also being worked on

After steam installed this update, I get an error message 'can't find key, or key is invalid' whenever I try to launch the game. Any help appreciated.

We are in the process of rolling back the update and urgently fixing the issue that is causing a "Protection Error" message when trying to launch Metro Exodus on Epic and Steam. Please bear with us while we do this.

Guys, it would be great if you could fix the game's grey filter that is very intense especially during night time play in the whole game.

Anyway, thanks for removing turdnuvo, that's great news.

Dear Deep Silver,

Please employ me as your game tester on the PC platform. This will bring your game testing team up to a grand total of 1 person (I assume). I will work for basically nothing, as I have been play testing and troubleshooting this game for free since the day I bought it anyway.

Sincerely;
Your #1 fan.

Update was quick. Many thanks

Other studios: "lets fix the bugs so the players don't experience constant freezes and CTD"
Deep Silver: "If we prevent the game from running at all then the players will never encounter a bug, crash or freeze"

Nice, how come?

Update: We have applied a rollback to the update that was causing the "Protection Error" message on Epic and Steam. We are now working on the re-submission for the Hotfix.

Do we have any news about the Linux port that was announced when the game first came to Steam?

Maybe we should just let them concentrate on getting the current versions of the game into a somewhat functional build state before adding another bugged like crazy port into the mix? Call me crazy, but I am pretty sure that the Windows version hasn't left the public beta phase of development yet. :p

Confirmed - on Epic Game Store Metro constantly crashes due to Denuvo now.

''Removed Denuvo from Steam, Epic, & Xbox PC Gamepass versions.''
Did not expect to see this when I read the patch notes.

It was pretty much completely pointless to even keep it implemented to this day, since the game was yar-yar'd pretty much immediately. [4 Days]
