too bad FOV can't be adjusted.

According to what I read. Steam get funny if you VPN to make a purchase, i.e. getting a cheaper price because you pretended to be in America or India or some such. Nobody has been banned for just using it to unlock the game.

Not really sure how they'd tell to be honest. People do actually travel around the world.

I also once worked for a company in Liverpool where all internet use went through the corporate WAN and came out in Florida, so if I'd taken my laptop into the office, then the game would have unlocked itself without any deliberate action on my part.

So worth a punt then?

so basically you want a 670 gtx or above to play it decent.

i wonder how ati fair . probably 7950 or above for similar settings.

ati bench included here http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Metro...ests/Metro-Last-Light-Benchmark-Test-1069286/

shows nvidia cards do have a little boost on ati cards but thats to be expected.

If my mate in the US logged into my steam on his comp would it unlock ? Could I then download on my PC in the uk with no VPN thingys working.

If you trust him enough to not steal your steam account then yes. Personally I reckon a VPN is safer

Anyway, I'm off to actually play the game now, will post a trip report from my getting on a bit system (Crossfire 6970s, 8GM DDR3, Core2Quad OC'd to 3.6, Windows 8)

I trust him but it did not work. On his system it was unlocked but logging back in on mine it was still locked.

I will wait plenty of other games to play.

Using a VPN is very normal for all sorts of things. The fact that when you use one, Steam just goes and unlocks the game without asking is just an added bonus.

vpn is fine, dont it many times!

Trip report.

Graphically the game seems to run fine on my system, though I've turned AA and PhysX off and motion blur down. However right at the start of the game it glitched so that while riding a train I slid out through the wall of the train, then it saved a check point, then about 10 seconds later I died crushed by the oncoming tunnel wall.

Cliste · 14 May 2013 at 17:53

LOL!

Lum · 14 May 2013 at 17:59

Fix is to not wander around the train when it's in motion, but there is a moral point to be had at the back of the train.

got it pre downloaded, will play it when i get home thursday

robmol · 14 May 2013 at 18:08

Doesn't need a mega computer at all, my antique of a PC (C2Q 3.2ghz + GTX560) runs it great with 1920x1080 quality high AF 16x tess medium. Even had advanced PhysX on for a bit until I reached a room with some awesome lighting where FPS noticeably dropped - due to the shadows I guess.

Surely it can within the files just like the 2033.

~>Dg<~ · 14 May 2013 at 18:21

apparently you can tweak config

MOOGLEYS · 14 May 2013 at 18:21

I just tried a VPN and it unlocks but then locks again when I turn it off. ?

Boomstick777 · 14 May 2013 at 18:24

Metro LL is epic so far, amazing graphics and atmosphere, faces on characters seem a lil less detailed but maybe it's just the new style? Game flies for me using 2 x GTX 660 in SLI. Everything on maximum + Physx enabled @ 1440P, except AA is off as it seems to reduce visual quality and sharpness way to much. Runs smooth and looks great
