Key points
- Better optimized than the original.
- Features models and textures with higher detail than the original (in some places tessellation is toned down, though).
- Default mouse sensitivity contains multiple issues; use Metro Mouse Fix.
- The game's lighting differs from the original due to increased brightness in all dark areas and the utilization of exposed lens-flares for light sources.
- The macOS (OS X) version of this game, available on Steam, does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps. AppStore version is not affected.

Resolution Issues
Some users have encountered issues such as not being able to set their native resolution; the game resetting their chosen resolution to a lower one; or the game's maximum available resolution being lower than their monitor's native resolution.[4] Such cases may be caused by the presence of multiple monitors attached to the computer, or attempting to play the game on an attached TV where larger resolutions may not be available. Possible solutions include unplugging any extra monitors[5] or setting the multi-monitor display mode in Windows to "Computer Only".

Issues unresolved
Stealth takedowns are impossible at Bandits chapter
- For some players, knocking out or stealth killing enemies is impossible on and after the Bandits chapter.[7][8][9]
This is a save-bound issue, if you use someone elses save file from the bandits chapter (from someone who does not have the bug) you can resume the game normally from their progress, unfortunately your own progress is lost if this bug occurs to you.
Issues fixed
Crashes at Undercity chapter
- The game may crash at some point during the Undercity chapter. Starting it up and choosing to Continue will always cause it to crash again.
Replay the chapter[10][11][12] |
---|
From the main menu, go to Chapters, select Undercity and play the level from the beginning again. |
Mouse sensitivity issues
- The game applies different sensitivities for vertical and horizontal movement. It also has sensitivity settings that are too high for some players who prefer slower movement.
Use raw mouse input fix[13] |
---|
Install Metro Mouse Fix. |
Run the game at screen refresh rate
- In-game Vsync forces the refresh rate to 60 Hz in fullscreen mode.
Force Vsync in driver[citation needed] |
---|
|
- Metro: LL Redux sometimes has problems with multiple monitor setups, even if the game is only running on one of them.[14]
Unplug all monitors except for one[citation needed] |
---|
The monitors have to be unplugged, simply disabling them doesn't fix the issue.[citation needed] |
No sound under Linux
- This issue seems to sometimes occur when using PulseAudio
Add extra launch options[citation needed] |
---|
Use the command line arguments |
- If this option enables sound but causes sound suttering or performance drops, try the following:
