For what it's worth I was able to get past the Metro Exodus hard locks by disabling "Full Screen Optimization". All's good and progressing once again.
It's good to hear you resolved that issue. Do you use an Nvidia or AMD card? I can't recall if I used the full screen optimization option when I played the game.

It's on by default, and has to be disabled by right-clicking the exe. I'm using a GTX 1660Ti (AMD CPU though). This was one of the fixes I read about after searching out the issue. Was the first thing I tried and it worked. Still in the Caspian level but just a few things to mop up before moving on.This was a good gear level and now rolling with the Bulldog (like a TAR-21, bullpup rifle), the Shambler (Saiga) and the Tikhar which cannot be swapped out it seems. The gunplay is good as it's always been in this series. Complete darkness, but a blinding light from a headlamp and gunsmoke obscuring the sight picture with shouts from the enemy reverberating through the corridors as I squeeze off short controlled bursts at fleeting glimpses of an enemy behind cover. It just drips with atmosphere. Nothing new but I really enjoy it.

Nothing new but I really enjoy it. Same feeling here. I also think that the series is done because I just simply don't see where the developers can take the Metro series now. Story-wise I think everything has been pretty much explored and resolved.

There is a game in the works, whether it sees the light of day (clever, yes?) or not remains to be seen. https://www.gamesradar.com/metro-exodus-sequel-confirmed/I think it will be back in the Metro and while I like the open atmosphere of Exodus I would welcome a return to the underground.

Same here. I’ve come to the conclusion that the vast majority of people who play IL-2 play it in single player mode only. Even at peak times such as a Saturday afternoon I will see at most 3-4 Cooperative servers and about 10 dogfight servers. Several of these servers will also be empty or nearly empty. Most of my time is actually MP with a friend, however I have started the "Lightning Strikes" campaign.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise! Thanks for the link. If Glukhovsy himself mentions that the story isn't quite over yet then I'm confident he has some good ideas up his sleeve.

Exodus would make more sense from a narrative point of view having played the first two, but of course not necessary. If you like Exodus you could always play the other two afterwards. If you do, look for the 'redux' versions.

No Man's Sky. I've dabbled with it before, but this time legally on the M$ store with Game Pass It's a lot different from what I remember. First thing was to turn off 3rd person. I HATE that and will dictate whether or not I will play a game.

I was searching for something else that lead me to this thread and as I scanned through it I noticed that I posted in it THREE times, each time as if I had not posted in it before. This old age memory loss crap is a pain! LOL At least each time I was consistent and remembered what I was actually playing 06-19-20 IL-2 GB
DCS
But neither very much, so busy with other projects. 07-28-20 Kinda late to the thread but....
IL2 GB DCS LSPDFR (GTA V mod)
09-25-20 DCS / IL2
Occasional KSP
And a sprinkling of GTAV LSPDFR

Best rally game out there & can be got for free)

Just got me a new PC after nearly 10 years and wanted to `stress test` it with the new MS Flightsimulator which then quickly led to boredom and playing around with the IL-2 Great Battle series and buying some more of the modules/planes for it. Only to end up getting the PE edition of Wings over Flanders Fields and enjoying the brilliant WW1 atmosphere and trying to survive as long as possible with my virtual pilot of FFA 19 flying in the Verdun area of late 1915.
Also started playing the new Blitzkrieg DLC for Unity of Command 2 and the PC demo for the upcoming new Dragon Quest XI game. The later being a JRPG I played on the Switch for awhile but never finished it although I really enjoyed it but got distracted with other things.
Time is the only luxury.
