Hey all,

Ive been trying to get metro 2033 to work on steam and it will not work for some reason it just says its not exacutable for some reason and the suggestions ive found online have not worked any ideas please?
 
Sorry I cant be any help, but I played through Metro 2033 a few days ago, and WOW what a flippin amazing game, atmosphere, looks and good old proper gameplay, none of this console regurgitated mush!

Playing through Last Light at the mo... Dunno why it took so long to discover these gems.

Good luck getting it sorted, and enjoy it when you do :)

I found this online hope it helps

Step 1. Turn your steam off and disable auto-start.

Step 2.
Go to Metro 2033 install folder which should be located in

Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\

find a folder named "install" and open it
(Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\install)

Step 3. reinstall the installer named
"vcredist_x86_sp1_atl_4053.exe"

Find the installer in Step3 and run it from its location "inside" your Metro2033 install
 
tried that before and it didn't work but thanks I did just try it again and I get the same thing.

I'll tell you how to fix it. Hopefully it works for you guys.

Note: Try install latest windows update including SP1 for vista, all videocard drivers before you do this. Trying Nvidia's beta driver could help.

Step 1. Turn your steam off and disable auto-start.

Step 2.
Go to Metro 2033 install folder which should be located in

Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\

find a folder named "install" and open it
(Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\install)

Step 3. reinstall the installer named
"vcredist_x86_sp1_atl_4053.exe"

Step 4. Open Directx folder
(Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\install\Directx)
and find DXSETUP.exe and run it.

Step 5. leave the Directx folder and open D3D11Install
(Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\install\D3D11Install)
NOTE: I'm not sure if everyone who don't have DX11 capable OS such as Vista or Windows 7 should do this.

Run D3D11Install.exe

Step 6. Once everything is done, restart the computer. Make sure Steam cannot autostart once you restart. When you restart, back to install folder.
(Steam\steamapps\common\metro 2033\install)

And run PhysX_10.02.22_9.10.0222_SystemSoftware.exe

IF it says its uninstalling, let it complete and reinstall.

Step 7. Start Metro 2033 and cross your fingers!

If this don't work or you have a crash report that contain problem with physx, I have a suggestion, run physx driver installer with steam running then restart then run metro 2033. A steam installer will pop up and install physx itself. After its done, game should crash as expected. Then go back to step 6. Try Again. I really hope it works for you!
 
from what ive seen so may people are having the same problem when searching for a fix but none of the fixes anyone have posted have worked for me :(
