Survivors, it's great to see so many of you diving into Metro Awakening on Steam.
If you’re experiencing any crashes or performance issues, below are a few tips to improve stability and ensure you get the most out of your time in the Metro:
- First, make sure SteamVR is set as your default OpenXR runtime rather than Windows Mixed Reality (WMR), Oculus, or Viveport. This can boost performance and prevent crashes;
- Some programs, like VR Toolkit, OpenXR Toolkit, or ReShade, can interfere with the game, Try disabling them to improve stability;
- Turning off overlays and certain OpenXR API layers may also help with performance;
- Additionally, setting your Spectator Screen to 'Off' can also help maintain smooth gameplay.
