Metro: Last Light Bugs, problems and glitches

NPC speaking volume is erratic

Just started playing Metro this evening. I'm enjoying it, but I'm having a real problem with the sound. It seems like the game is trying to implement directional sound in regard to the speaking voices, but mostly it's like I'm deaf in one ear. If I am not looking right at the person speaking to me, their voice gets very low to non-existent. I can literally be standing right next to someone, and see the sub-titles going but hear NOTHING unless I turn and face them. I've tried plugging in some headphones, but it doesn't help.

This is really ruining the game for me, as I miss most of what is being said, especially in cases like the beginning of the game where: (*SPOILER*)





you are sneaking around the Nazi's and your camarade is telling you what to do. If you aren't near him, and if you miss the sub-titles because you are busy sneaking/killing, then you get lost.

Is there any fix for this?

 

you probably will need to edit the CFG (configuration file) and force it to 2.1 audio or something o_o

 

Please Help. Resolution Bug

I'm still unable to play Metro, because the game keeps defaulting to 1440x480, and the resolution toggle is empty in the games options. This makes the game unplayable.

-I've updated to the latest Nvidia drivers.
-I've updated windows 7 completely
-I've changed BOTH user.cfg files to 1920x1080
-Steam has updated the game to the latest patch.

As soon as the game starts, it overwrites the user.cfg file located in C:\Users\Taltos\AppData\Local\4A Games\Metro LL\110000102eda733 to 1440x480.
If I try to change the resolution in game, the toggle is empty and the game crashes if I attempt to press it.


The only "fix" that allows me to play in 1080P is by playing in windowed mode. But that drops my framerate below 20. As soon as I try the fullscreen option the game reverts to 1440x480. Any help would be appreciated

Here is my user file if it helps. I've bolded the area where Metro keeps making adjustments to the resolution. Thanks again.

Anyone know if there is going to be a patch released for the 360 soon? Ridiculous that the game has frozen more than Fallout 3 or NV.

No idea what you mean by that.

 

Walking within the moving train glitch

Hey guys. First time here. Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but here it goes.

I got Last Light off the Playstation Network for PS3. In case you've never tried running up and down the moving train like an idiot near the beginning of the game, then you've missed out on a glitch. I learned a little something about the engine. If you move forward on the train whilst the train is turning, then you'll find yourself outside the train and you get to move around the scene, tethered to the train. It's like if the train is the plain in which you move, even as this plane itself is in motion. The force of your movement is just added to that of the moving train. I guess the sections in which the different outside rooms attach to one another act as seams that if you find your way into, you're given temporary access to the outside scene.

Fun fact

 

You find a fix yet?

 

Do you have a surround sound headset?
I have a g930 7.1 and had the exact Same problem. All I did was switch the button on the side of them from surround to stereo and back and its never done it again.

 

I would really appreciate someone helping me with this very strange issue. ill make it short and to the point.

I have played metro last light through the whole campaign at least 4 times. Out of nowhere now when i press the hotkey for Medkit (Q) and flashlight (F) my game instantly quits to desktop. I have tried switching hotkeys and no matter which key i bind those actions to it still crashes to desktop.

The only fix is safe mode. While in safe mode if I change my resolution back to my native, then the game exits safe mode and goes back to normal. Strange thing is though if I play the game this way then the above issue is gone. If i load the game right now without starting in safe mode and i load the chapter and press medkit key or flashlight key then I will crash to desktop.

Please help! I tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling my nvidia drivers but don't know what else it could be. This is an issue with the game not individual keys. No matter which key i bind to medkit and flashlight it will still crash.

I have exact same problem here i searched all google and couldnt find the solution,if you know the solution please tell me

 

Help! No air filters in the swamp!

I am suddenly moving very slow, I am not crouched. Is there a hidden run/walk toggle?

I check someone 'lets-play' to see if it a part in the game where you move slower, but its not the case. All of a sudden I am moving very slowly. Sprint works, but it too is slow, even slower then normal speed.

 

Did you try reinstal the game? and no there is no run/walk toggle and it depends on where you are if you are in D6 or in other city/station place you are only walking, if you are in the tunnels you are almost running.

 

Maybe you're in a occupied station such as Venice, theatre, Police, etc.? In these locations, your walking/running speed becomes slower and you will be unable to walk/run as fast as when you're on the surface, uninhabited tunnels, etc. If it’s outside of a station, the only place this happened to me was in the bandit's level. Though for me, I was stuck in a crouching position. Whenever I would get off the rail car and crouch, I would become permanently in that that state until I climbed back into the car, climbed back off, so on and so forth. My fix was simply restarting the chapter from the beginning.

 

Help! No air filters in the swamp!

I am stuck in the swamp at the gas station with no air filters. I need to take the ferry but I suffocate before I can do so. I've looked everywhere I can within distance before I suffocate. What should I do?

 

Take off the mask, count to fourty, then take it on and quickly off again and count to fourty, and repeat as long as you can. That'll probably be very difficult with all the things you have to shoot though, haha

 

Haha, I'm stuck at same exact place as you are, my watch messed me up (it said i have 20 minutes, even though i have 0:tsk so i was messing around and lost all filters.
Well, restart the Chapter and be faster

 

I thought I'd have a problem with filters in Last Light, but I never experienced it except one time, which was right before going down to Theatr with Pavel. I jumped down the escalators to the station entrance with only twenty seconds left on my last filter, and Pavel was all "We got to hurry!!" and sloooowly stumbled down. He hadn't even begun descending the escalators at the point where I was already at the bottom, looking up at him. We fought the Watchmen while my eyes flickered at the timer going shorter and shorter, until there was one second left, then I got to the checkpoint. That was the closest evar

 

There should be some tucked away in the nooks and crannies around there, I cant remember exactly were they are though, haven't played that level in awhile.
