"Bandits" Crash

[ToastyBK]

Anyone else getting a crash during the chapter "Bandits"? I first thought it was the vendor at the beginning of the chapter but now I know it's just crashing in general. Tried it on both regular and safe mode, have to restart the entire PC as it makes the screen black and can't open task manager.

same, its starting to let me play after trying any of the troubleshooting guides but now when i kill someone they stand there in place so I can't loot. I also don't get attacked so its broken now

:update: I found a old forum related to our issue, said that one fix is to restart the chapter you are on again from the chapter menu. I did that and it's been working fine now.

With my other issue with npcs freezing that's fixed too so far. After reverting the game files back to normal I added the -dx11 command into the steam properties. Not sure if that's helping too but 2 hours in and no crashes.

Thanks for the tip on restarting the chapter to get rid of the men freezing issue. Worked for me. :)

For me it did freezes too at level Bandits. I solved it by change r_api 2 to 1. DX11 to DX10.

If interested: google at r_api or look my posthistory

Same thing, and get cpu overheated warning at bios after restart.

Game still works fine (i am now at the level where anna is captured) after change r_api to 1.

Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\4A Games\Metro LL\

Open user.cfg with text editor.

Locate line r_api and change the value to corresponding API value: 0 for DX9, 1 for DX11 and 2 for DX12

My advice is 1. Also while ingame set SSAA to auto.

Also use chapters instead of reloading savegame.

I got maybe 1 minute further into the dialogue before it crashed my pc again

Damn!

Then i have 1 last solution. Download a completed savegame and copy over to your savegames location the missing chapters since you didnt unlock them. When start game you will see all chapters are unlocked now. Play the chapter after Bandits. This way it was a solution for another user.

simply doing -dx11 fixed it for me thanks!

What a weird solution for level start, crash through the barrier at start with player facing towards back of railcar. Any one know why this works?
