Basically burned 35 dollars. I came into this expecting a AAA VR release, not something that makes half-baked indie games look good. You'd be better off just buying Saints and Sinners, then pretending it's Metro. This game runs like hot ♥♥♥♥ on a RTX 4060 Ti and i7-13700 with 32 gigs of DDR4 RAM. Horrible stutters, total freezes at random. I didn't even get half an hour into the game before encountering a crash. Hell, I didn't even make it 15 minutes before getting a FPS drop down to 12 FPS. Sickening, and absolutely unacceptable for VR title. There are games out there that have double the graphical fidelity, and run twice as well. My first impressions were so bad that I don't even want to make my poor PC suffer through another 15 minutes of this punishment. Not to mention the unskippable white text scenes, the disorienting third person cutscenes, and the unskippable opening credits. Not going to be playing this again until they fix this buggy mess. Unacceptable state to release a title in. Deep Silver has done better, and can do better than this. It's a disgrace to their name and series.

Hi. Sorry that you're having issues with the game. We're aware of some issues causing poor performance and are working on it. In the meantime, there are some workarounds you can try for yourself:

For troubleshooting guidance about performance, please visit the full support article here: https://to.plaion.com/MetroVRSteamcrash

In addition to the suggestions above, it has recently come to our attention that there's an issue with the spectator screen using up more memory than it should. Fortunately, this can easily be solved by turning the spectator screen OFF in the game setting.

If you're still having performance issues after trying the runtime troubleshooting steps listed above, we suggest checking if the spectator screen is running and turning it OFF. Please also check if you have the latest version of the game installed.


If you're still havin issues, please get in touch with our player support: https://to.plaion.com/MetroAwakeningSupport
