That's because in fullscreen mode, the desktop resolution determines the game's aspect ratio. To play Metro2033 on a single screen, you have two options:
-Set your desktop to single-screen before you run the game, or
-Play in windowed mode (r_fullscreen off). Resolution & AR can be anything you like in this mode.

Thanks I'll give this a try later tonight

I set my screen to single and it worked perfectly, thanks

A brief addition: if you have a mouse that is capable of DPI switching, you can probably go into your mouse software settings and simply set your Y axis DPI to be much higher or lower than your X axis DPI. I know that at least with Logitech gaming mice, you have this option of axis-independent DPI control.

[quote]This game runs smooth on Nvidia Surround (3 x GTX 480) all maxed at 5040x1050, ill post a benchie + GPU usage tonight.

Can you spell: Nvidia optimized? :mrgreen:
nVidia optimized :P

And yes, this definitely seems to be the case, as I can run maxed out sans Advanced PhysX at 1920x1080 in DirectX 10 with SLI GeForce 8800GTX cards.

That's odd. I've only played the demo, but it feels as though I'm "zoomed in" too much. Does anyone know the FOV for this game?

See first post, Method section :nudgenudge

I just found this launcher for the game, it should be handy if you want to edit some graphics settings including resolution and FOV.

i seriously pretty much quit because of the mouse problem. its horridly unplayable with one axis out of sync like that.
i have a RAT but i dont see any way to just make one axis higher than another.

honestly im such a snob now if i cant get something to run 3x1 correctly i may not even play it

Should be fairly straightforward. Install the software for your R.A.T., look for axis sensitivity/acceleration, set x lower than y. You can even probably save this setting in a profile you'll only use in Metro 2033.

Since replacing my logi mouse with a SteelSeries Sense I lost the ability to adjust X and Y seperatly. I tried creating a script in AHK to reduce the X sensitivity and while this works fine in windows, in the game the mouse totally spazzes out and is completely unplayable (also tried to increase the Y when decreasing X didn't work) .

Has anyone gotten this or similar to work? I'm thinking about trying to do a mouse to Joystick script when I have some more time to screw around with it. I saw a mouse hook script for AHK, but could not get that to work.

I tried Haldi's script for M:LL but when the script is enabled 2033 crashes for me. Edit; I got one of the other scripts (1.5x) that Haldi posted to work, but that causes the game to spaz out like my own script.
