To get the best experience in Metro Awakening with an 8GB video card and a Meta Quest headset, we recommend one of the following configurations

Option 1: Meta Quest Link with Meta OpenXR

Use the Meta Quest Link app on your PC with the Meta OpenXR runtime. Here’s how to set it up:

1. Open the Meta Quest Link app on your PC.
2. Go to Settings on the left side of the app.
3. Click on the General tab and select Set Meta Quest Link as act....
4. Launch Metro Awakening in Steam.

Note: This option uses the Meta OpenXR runtime, reducing memory usage for a smoother experience.

Option 2: Steam Link with SteamVR

Use the Steam Link app (available in the Quest Store) and the SteamVR runtime. Follow these steps:

1. Install the Steam Link app from the Quest Store.
2. Open SteamVR in Steam.
3. Go to Settings by clicking STEAMVR X.X.X (where X.X.X is the version) and selecting Settings.
4. In the settings menu, go to OpenXR and click SET STEAMVR AS OPENXR RUNTIME.

Note: This option uses the SteamVR runtime, which also reduces memory load and should improve the gameplay experience.

Additional Tips for Troubleshooting

If you continue to experience issues, we recommend lowering the rendering scale or texture quality to free up additional memory.
