unfortunately i can't help you with that question, i suggest you to join the Metro Speedrunning Discord. as there are people who did/are running on the STEAM or Epic Store versions of the game. those people will be able to help you out.

Okay, so i've been trying to learn the current Any% Route and one of the first small skips is the Dumpster Jump while chasing Ming. i personally didn't like the idea of just kind of yolo jumping and trying to get onto it, so i tried to find a way to get it reasonably consistent.

here is my setup.

The First thing you'll want to do is run into the corner with the Dumpster like in this Screenshot:

there is a small dark spot on the wall right around where Wei's Head is ( where the arrow is pointing at ). line yourself up by just casually walking forward ( as in don't sprint ) now stop for a bit, start walking forward again and press the 'Sprint / Climb' Key.

now you should land on the side of the Dumpster like in this Screenshot:

adjust your Camera Angle so it faces the wall with the woodenplanks ( similar to how it is in the Screenshot ). again just wait for a little bit, now start walking forward and press the 'Sprint / Climb' Key.

now you should hopefully land on the side of the Dumpster lid similar to this Screenshot:

once you get the Landing / Dropping Animation like on the Screenshot just start moving forward again while mashing the 'Sprint / Climb' Key and you should hopefully get to where Ming is standing.

sometimes you'll get the Suttering Animation. either keep holding Forward and mash climb or just drop down onto the Dumpster and casually climb up again.

here is a Video of this whole thing:
