    I know the game was released for linux not long ago; but, I don't have a version of linux installed on my PC. Does anyone know how I can force the MLL executable to run OpenGL API on my windows machine?

    This might be an obvious question, but have you tried googling it? I didn't find anything specifically for Metro, but I saw at least one forum thread talking about ways to make other games force OpenGL.

    Of course I tried googling it, and posted on other numerous forums asking the same thing to no avail. I know that the config file can change the directx api; but, there is no openGL settings in the windows version of the cfg file. The bat file in that link edited for the MetroLL executable doesn't change anything.

    No clue then, sorry. Doesn't look like anybody else seems to know either, or else you'd probably have gotten a response by now.

    I currently have no way of knowing for sure if this forces MLL to run in OpenGL, but when I go to ATI Tray tools, I can open up my MLL file and the option to either 'run' my games between Direct 3d and OpenGL is given:

    And when you check of the OpenGL box, it gives you further options to do some adjustments:

    I then went to check if MLL would work in the supposed OpenGL mode, and it did. But like I said, I don't know for sure if it really changed the configuration for MLL to run in true OpenGL mode.

    I will ask someone later today that more than likely knows how to force a game to run OpenGL.

    I have an nvidia card, so no ati tools for me. You can actually see slight differences between the linux/openGL version and windows/DX11 version. I'm sure there is some console command you can run in game that tells you the current running API, though I don't know it.
