1- How to skip the Intro
Intro takes hours and hours to load and it's annoying. Here's how to skip it.

Go to your Metro Exodus folder (\steamapps\common\Metro Exodus)

- You'll find 3 WEBM files

Credits, Intro and Legal

Just rename then to whatever you want (I use old. legal,old.credits,.old.intro)

That'll skip all the intro cutscenes from the game.

2- How to Remove Motion Blur
My trash PC could run the previous Metro games just fine and the stupid motion blur effect is the reason why Metro Exodus can't run properly on my PC. Here's how to turn it off:

If you want to turn motion blur off (as well as change other unavailable video settings), you have to access the user files here: C:\Users<USER>\Saved Games\metro exodus<STEAMID>\user.cfg

And set:

r_blur_level 0

r_game_mblur_scale 0.00

This has nothing to do with performance.Motion blue is just a cinematic effects that make sstuff look smoother,intro videos have nothing to do with performance either
