🎩 Tips and tricks:
Cap the frame rate/potentially improve frame times: Download RivaTuner Statistics Server (if you use MSI Afterburner, then you already have it installed), input your desired framerate limit in the "Framerate limit" box, and hit Enter . Alternatively, those with an Nvidia GPU can either cap the frame rate at the driver level via the Nvidia Control Panel (requires the 441.87+ drivers) or use Nvidia Inspector to force a vsync internal lower than one-half (click the small tool icon to open the game profile section).
Note: Useful if your system can't maintain, say, 60fps and you're sensitive to the wild fluctuations, or you're experiencing uneven frame times. The greater window the engine has to render a given frame, if you're imposing a lower frame rate than the game can otherwise provide, may also help in alleviating stuttering related to data streaming.
Run the benchmark tool: Open Steam\SteamApps\common\Metro Exodus\Benchmark.exe, select your desired settings, click "Run", and confirm the launch parameters in Steam.
Note: May silently crash when using DX12.
Adjust field of view: Follow these instructions. (Credit to disgraciau.)
Fix ray tracing option missing on RTX-capable systems: Ensure the latest build of Windows 10 is correctly installed by running the Windows 10 Update Assistant. (Credit to Chance Hale.)
Disable motion blur: Open %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\metro exodus\[user ID]\user.cfg and set r_game_mblur_scale and r_blur_level to 0. (Credit to Kalik.)
