I can start the game and change settings temporarily, but after closing the game everything is set to default and the progress is gone. Game progress and settings (graphics etc) are not being saved. The Game doesn't create a Save Game Folder (C:\Users(Your name)\Saved Games\metro exodus).
The Windows Store Version of Metro Exodus doesn't create Save Game Folder And it did, at least for me but yeah it's still kinda whack. He said alt+tab in and out and it should work. I can only guess why the game is broken, but as I previously said I think it's cause of the switch to UWP and the config files not being where they are in the EGS versionĮdit: Went into some guy's twitch stream and asked how he got the resolution to change. So yeah all in all it's a huge dumpster fire at this point. Microsoft still thinks it's smart to lock users out of their own computers, so I guess that's just insult to injury at this point.
I located the supposed config files too, but they were encrypted and cannot be edited in Notepad++ (location is AppData\Local\Packages\DeepSilver.ProjectWindfall, if you want to have a look) so there pretty much is nothing that I can do at this point to even change the resolution from the abysmal default of 1280x720.Īlso you can't access the install folder unless you take over the ownership. Resolution, DirectX mode, everything remains unchanged no matter what you do. The game just outright refuses to save any graphics options that I change in the menus. I haven't gotten past the main menu yet, but from what I have seen I don't think that I really have to. The game has been "ported" to the vilified UWP platform and as far as I can see, the game does NOT handle that very well. Well I just booted it up for the first time and it wasn't pretty. (plus the added agony of updating windows, that never goes smoothly without anything breaking, does it?) While the game still isn't on Steam and it changing from being an exclusive to one bad platform, to being available on two almost equally bad platforms (these are all my opinions by the way) wasn't really the change I was hoping to see, I thought I would give it a chance, since it was going to be available for a mere 1€ investment. While I was enjoying the E3 content yesterday, I happened to notice that the once Epic Games Store exclusive Metro Exodus has switched to being not so exclusive anymore.
