My volume controls dont work when I play this why?

[Devil in me.]

The volume wheel no longer works so i cant change the volume, works fine when not in game, any ideas?

[Dave3d]

Because its a console game barely working on windows.
You need to exit the game, turn up/down your volume, then launch the game again, rinse/repeat until you get it where you want it, and remember to set it to whatever it is EVERY time you play the game.
Maybe try windowed mode and see if it works.
I never got mine to work while in-game.
:(

Old problem carrying over from metro 2033 and Last Light - this engine don´t like multimedia keys.

[Dave3d]

I have all of the metro games.
exodus is the only one with this problem.
I think its because they take exclusive control of the full-screen and window mode in exodus, and they didnt in the previous games.

Incorrect, alt-tab out the game and adjust the volume.

Hopefully they'll fix it soon... I've just got my game set to windows mode as I have more than 1 monitor and I do other tasks on my other monitors whilst playing the game.

using the steam overlay works for me, i can adjust volume from there

I DONT have 2 monitors, and I have had this game for a year.
Alt-Tabbing just crashes the game.

Go windows mode then mate, shouldn't crash though.

Never crashed on me when I had the game in full screen mode when alt-tabbing...

Or you could just use the Xbox Game Overlay (Win+G) of Windows 10 to change the volume settings. No need to alt tab out of the game.

[devil_505]

They fixed that bug with the alt-tab crash a while back.

[Moosey Fate]

i too cannot change volume with keyboard in game. this is something basic enough to be an expectation honestly.

Thanks, Loldielol... Alt-Tab works well for me.
