    hi all,

    Im new to the Metro series after I fell in love with it about a month ago, Im also reading the book currently.

    I have a quick question though: I started my 2nd playthrough on Ranger Hardcore, but it seems I only could carry 5 knives when Ranger expands them to 10, and also the Hud shows up when I press m, Im starting to think that maybe something went wrong?

    Another question is Im trying to change the FOV from 75 to 60 but it reverts when I start the game again, any one know why?
     
  2. You haven't specified the version you are playing, so i'm just guessing.

    Original Metro 2033 allowed the player to check their inventory through the tablet on Ranger Hardcore and so do the Metro 2033 Redux and the Metro Last Light Redux. The only game it was missing from was vanilla Metro Last Light.

    Original Metro 2033 also allowed only 5 throwing knives to be carried at any time.

    What you say indicates that you have probably changed your user.cfg file to read only. It will revert the difficulty to the one specified in that file every time you restart a game.

    There are several user.cfg backup files for each Metro game.

    For the original Metro 2033 they would be in the following locations:

    ...\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\4A Games\Metro 2033 ...
    ...\Steam\userdata\%usernumber%\43110\remote\...
    ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\Metro 2033\...
