Field of view (FOV)

Instructions |

Windowed
- No native option.
Instructions |
---|
- If you want to move a game's window, suspend the MetroLL.exe, this will allow you to see the title bar and move the game's window. Resume the process afterward. You won't need to suspend process if you'll want to move window again. You must do this each time you start the game. Here is a video demonstrating how to do this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUQRilv9vN8
Non-native resolution with borderless windowed mode
In some multi-monitor systems there might be issues with selecting different resolutions than the default (native?) one. To fix this you can force the game to run in borderless windowed mode with an external tool.

---|
- Note that forcing the borderless windowed mode with an external tool like the above might break some of the game's post-processing effects in the higher settings (for example the water reflections seem to be a bit corrupted in some areas).
Force DirectX 9 or 10 renderer on DirectX 11 systems
- Forcing DirectX 9 will result in better performance. However DirectX 11 specific features (tessellation, SSAO) will be disabled. See Port Report article for benchmarking information.

PhysX
- PhysX is enabled by default, even for non-Nvidia cards. Make sure to disable if using an AMD GPU, as there will be severe framerate drops if it is enabled.
In general advanced PhysX causes major issues. If you go into a fight in front of the church and FPS drops under 30 turn advanced PhysX off in the user.cfg
