Trolley combat crash & checkpoint corruption

[Cooper]

Hello guys, I have encountered a really annoying thing. In Chapter 4 the part with trolley combat after first checkpoint, where you start to run, I got killed. Yeah, first timer. And when I wanted to reload checkpoint game froze and exited to desktop shortly after. I started the game again, but the checkpoint got corrupted somehow and keeps causing loading screen shortime freeze and then crash to desktop. Now all my progress in some achievements will be gone since they need to be done in one playthrough. Any possible solutions aside from starting the chapter / game a new? Thank you in advance.

Reload from chapter selection menu?

Gee, thanks didn't think of that . Wait, I did, since I wrote without lossing achievement progress. I read on wikia that Metro 2033, unlike Redux version, does not count progress when you reload chapter or its part. So some achievements need to be done in one playthough. You have to select Continue. Otherwise progress like Soft-Touch, Ka-Boom, Explorer, Weaponsmith, Stick like a Bur, Enlightened etc. is gone.

I cannot remember if Metro has steam cloud or not and since there is no store page I was unable to check for you. If it does, load the steam cloud file. Generally, if steam detects your save (or trade items for those kinds of games) are out of sync it asks if you want to upload your local files to the cloud or download your cloud data to your local PC. Delete your corrupt save file and download it from the cloud. Hope this helps.

I did load levels from the menu quite a few times and i still got the Explorer & Soft-Touch for example on the same (and also my first) playthrough. Ka-Boom & Sticks like a Bur can be easily done at the start of Depot by throwing grenades out of the cart onto the rats (they do count).
I can't speak for all achievements because I didn't finish the game yet but I don't think you should fear reloading levels from the main menu.

I finished the story and I also got the Weaponsmith and the Enlightened achievements without any trouble. So at least for me reloading earlier levels didn't have any impact on the achievement progress. The only achievement that I had to do from scratch was Sherlock. Just loading the levels and collecting the ammo didn't work for me.
