[Deep Silver]

Hey guys a thread where you can discuss/troubleshoot Mac and Linux versions of Metro Exodus.

If you do encounter issues - please report it to https://support.deepsilver.com/en/games/metroexodus giving as much detail as possible so we can investigate properly.

You likely still need to sort out the depots

SteamDB for example shows the Linux content still only on Beta and Developer stuff https://steamdb.info/depot/412023/subs/ and macOS is in a total of zero: https://steamdb.info/depot/412024/subs/

So it needs adding to Steam keys, humble keys, fanatical keys and so on.

My key, for example, from Fanatical is an empty download.

yeah. Missing files. like Liam posted, need to sort out the steam keys thingy.
I bought it from steam during christmas sale i think and its not attached to the linux content, so having empty download.

Thanks in advance

I'm getting a missing executable error, don't know if it's just me. It's also looking like it's missing files. I only have about 8.2GBs of files and none of it looks like the actual game (based on the labels, they actually look like DLC files and video files). Having played it using Proton before I'm pretty sure, unless some programming magic has occurred to make the game that small, that the game is significantly larger

Only downloads the DLC files and not the Game.

[Astilex]

Like Yakuza Girl mentioned I am only getting 7GB of files which are just a bunch of media files on my MBP which lead it to not being playable. My iMac does not even see the changes to the OS' yet so I can't test there.

[Anzorik]

Got protection error for some reason

[julek]

Missing files as well there.

the linux update deleted all my metro game and installed only the update rendering it unplayable as you can't play an update without the rest of the game lol. pls fix.

[AwesamLinux]

Same here this is probably some configuration error with the games depot. Steam is not downloading the files.

[Lil N00B]

Download doesn't seem to include the whole application, just ~7GBs of files (in reality it should probably be something like 70GB). Please fix.

The app manifest indicates it is not installing the files, but.. by the look of it, if someone was clever enough they could write in the missing info, verify and with any luck it'd download the rest.
It may be possible using the steamdb info but i'm not exactly sure what needs to be added.
(if someone does, please give us all a link to the new manifest :) )

Since the executable program is not there I don't see what you could do with it...

It will not work as the main Linux executable is missing as are all the other Linux files (.so files etc), The whole Main Game for Linux is not Downloading/Updating, If you bought the Game with DLC's then that is all that downloads, Which is just Videos and DLC patch files.

[Kallestofeles]

As others have stated already - Linux version only downloads the DLC and patch files but is missing the core game.
