shadow-filter settings don't seem to be exposed as cvars, at least that I can find, which means they're buried in the engine code somewhere. Figured I'd ask if anyone's been down this road before I go digging into it myself lol

Wanna change max amount of Jockeys with 'survival_max_jockeys'? Too bad, bud, you instead changed max amount of Chargers. And as for the 'survival_max_chargers' - it seems like it has literally no effect on anything. Same for like 20 other cvars I messed around with.

if anyone's using sky atmosphere in unreal, but doesn't care about putting the camera in space, these CVars just saved me one millisecond on low end

I have a mighty need to know what a subsystem named MrHands does (wrong answers preferred)
Personally I've always been tempted to make a command console for a game where the cvars are silly like how cheats in Jedi Outcast can be enabled with "helpusobi 1"

You could manually adjust the console commands in Blueprint with cvars but it’s a bit hacky.
Is the entire level this constrained space or would you need to revert to default values when going outside

there's not really going to be any magical addon that improves performance unless it's either setting your settings/CVars to reasonable levels or reduces the amount of frames (like modelscenes) on the screen. there's not really any sort of magic there, the base game UI isn't hurting you lol

UCR PLPA240 has begun! Day 1 at the Coachella Valley Agricultural Research Station (CVARS). Matt Fatino (UCCE) on grower support-especially weed management in dates, avocados, citrus-plus trials on novel herbicides and cultural tactics. 🏜️🌴🥑

Working on a retro FPS engine. Player physics and collisions, map editor with live updates. In game dev console with CVars. All in C. Going pretty well so far. Next step is probably some textures and some better lighting, and cleaning up my code.

More playing around with the new Voxelize in UE5-Main (part of Nanite Foliage) using Nanite LOD offset CVARs we can see the Voxels. Overall in my limited testing it is incredibly stable image quality wise (way more so than the old preserve area methods)

❖ Some players using 4K displays have issues getting past the login screen. As a workaround, lowering the screen resolution can help resolve this issue, and we've seen success deleting/resetting the CVARS file. Instructions to do that can be found here:

I spent weeks testing and tweaking many Lumen-related cvars, so that the straw roofs on our celt houses looked more stable with less visible noise.
Almost every time we change and tweak the lighting, this breaks again.
For some time I would have actual nightmares of review bombing because of this.

Recording how to adjust blend sizes on meshes in my scene using MeshBlend. There are 4 preset blend sizes. They can be adjusted with cvars.
Feels pretty easy! 😄

MeshBlend is a UE5 plugin that is coming soon.
If it's a mesh, we can blend it

Thanks for sharing!
Would you know if the Cvars
r.RayTracedTranslucency.Allowed 1
r.RayTracedTranslucency.UseRayTracedRefraction 1
Are still required in the official 5.6 Preview release?
I noticed a new toggle in Project settings for
Raytraced Translucent Refractions

JDM doesn't appear to be using scalability groups! A peek into cvars and the INI config reveals the game has all SGs at Ultra and cvars are changed by code, not groups. This is why I can't create an INI override for the volumetric fog - code still takes precedence.

The dungeon crawling in the #Oblivion remaster reminds me what I like about dungeon crawling. It makes modern dungeon crawling feel like walking through a theme park.
Abandoned. Dim. Dank. Ambient soundscapes only. That's my jam.
(And whoever lit this game's dungeons knew ALL the cvars to set.)

Got CVARs working so now you can declare cvars & retrieve the current value of them with a simple type-safe API, and the cvars can be listed & updated from the debug console :)

I'll make a video about this in the next 24 hrs if need, but MOUSE SMOOTHING is on by default in #Marathon Alpha.
You don't want this.
If there's not a setting in-game, go to CVARS file for Marathon & follow same instructions from my vid for Destiny 2: youtu.be/zPZx0Iww-N8

ahh that's how the zknsjdj2ndjakd remaster was done too, the old engine running alongside the new renderer, which is good because all the cvars I know start with r 🙂👍
