This one is a hard one to get working in 4K... but it's possible. 1. - Install the game and start it once - Open Windows search and type: %LOCALAPPDATA% - Navigate to \4A Games\Metro Redux\<user-id>\user.cfg and open it with an editor. - Change r_fullscreen on to r_fullscreen off. 2. Download Special K (Archive) -> https://www.special-k.info/ Open the Zip/Rar/7Zip or whatever Folder and copy the "SpecialK64.dll" into your steam game folder -> Steam\steamapps\common\Metro 2033 Redux Rename the file: "SpecialK64.dll" into "dxgi.dll" 3. Start the game The Special K UI should load -> open it by pressing Ctrl+⇧ Shift+← Backspace OR BACK and START on your controller. - Open the Display menu on the top. - Change Window style to Borderless Fullscreen. - check force override 4. Restart the game - it should now work in you maximum resolution (Borderless Window) You should disable V-Sync ingame because it limits the FPS to 60 Better Force V-Sync via you NVIDIA or AMD Control Panel. Happy Gaming!
It’s a gritty, dark, and occasionally terrifying journey through a Russian subway system that makes your local commute look like a trip to Disneyland. It’s got some of the most cohesive atmosphere I’ve ever seen in an FPS, and while the stealth can occasionally be total dogwater, the overall experience is a must-play.
I definitely recommend it, it's worth playing even in 2026... I lost track of the chronology a bit: first I played Exodus, now Redux. Last Light is next.
