This article highlights some notable tweakables and their default values.
If you come across any particularly useful tweakables that are not already in this list, please feel free to contribute them by posting a comment to this article!
Infinite hover for the Levitate ability
<tweakable type="bool" name="Ability Levitate: infinite Hover" value="0"/>
Modify the % of Source lost on death (default is 10%)
<tweakable type="float1" name="PlayerProperties:Norm. XP loss on death" value="0.100000"/>
Modify the button hold duration for hold-to-activate interactions
<tweakable type="float1" name="HUD:Interaction Component:Short Hold Time" value="0.300000"/>
Control whether launchable objects should be highlighted in the HUD<tweakable type="bool" name="AbilityLaunch: Highlight with GFX" value="1"/>
<tweakable type="bool" name="AbilityLaunch: Highlight with HUD" value="1"/>
The above tweakables have been removed as of the AWE expansion update. I've uploaded a plugin under the Optional Files section if you would like to disable Launch object highlighting and the ground slam targeting circle.
Configure auto-aim parameters like hit-zone radius and max range
<tweakable type="float1" name="Auto Aim:Head Area Radius Multiplier" value="1.000000"/>
<tweakable type="float1" name="Auto Aim:Hit Zone Radius" value="0.200000"/>
<tweakable type="float1" name="Auto Aim:Max Range" value="200.000000"/>
Fine-tune Jesse's prioritization for throwing back projectiles like grenades and missiles when using the Launch ability
<tweakable type="float1" name="AbilityLaunch-Grenade:Projectiles pick priority (0:lower)" value="1.100000"/>
Control whether you can use Ground Slam multiple times without touching the ground
<tweakable type="bool" name="AbilitySlam : Requires touching Ground to use again" value="1"/>

For the obnoxious pop-in high resolution texture problem, I can TLDR the streaming one - Mips are the important concept here. You want allowed dropped mips to be high (?) to let the engine flush unused streamed mips and make room I think, and the max mip number higher than the default of 11, i.e.
<tweakable type="float1" name="Texture Streaming:Max Mip No" value="14.000000"/>
Or some higher number, not sure if the engine will max at 14 - this document says that somewhere, but then I have no idea what I'm doing. Anyway, maybe this will help someone clever to get their Control running perfectly on their system. It looks like the devs set the game up to run on as many systems as possible. Most systems these days don't need a safety factor.. conjecture :)
ALSO, for PhysX stuff, I found some interesting things about these two settings:
<tweakable type="int" name="PhysX:Default Solver Position Iterations Amount" value="4"/>
<tweakable type="int" name="PhysX:Default Solver Velocity Iterations Amount" value="1"/>
These both could probably benefit from being higher. The doc says you can set the first one up to 30.. that seems excessive, but I'm going to play around and see if I can get things to be a little less bouncy and crappy in game, tho to be honest the behavious as setup by the developers is pretty solid.
Also, keep in mind that Remedy uses a custom engine: Northlight ...but, the PhysX stuff and texture streaming stuff is pretty universal.. I think? Maybe a Remedy Developer will show up.
'
Edit: No. No Remedy developer showed up, despite my tireless championing of all developers everywhere. Also I forgot I wrote this. I thought 'wow this person sounds just like me'. WHO KNOWS if these methods do anything at all. If I remember, I will report what I find with my new August 2024 attempt at playing thru. I seem to remember the PhysX stuff had strange effects.
I'm trying to remove the hud highlighting of launchables. i downloaded your plugin for it and put it in the plugins folder, but im still seeing the white outlines. any ideas?
<tweakable type="float1" name="LensFlare:Size1" value="0.000000"/>
<tweakable type="float1" name="LensFlare:Size10" value="0.000000"/>
<tweakable type="float1" name="LensFlare:Size11" value="0.000000"/>
<tweakable type="float1" name="LensFlare:Size2" value="0.000000"/>
<tweakable type="float1" name="LensFlare:Size3" value="0.000000"/>
<tweakable type="float1" name="LensFlare:Size4" value="0.000000"/>
<tweakable type="float1" name="LensFlare:Size5" value="0.000000"/>
<tweakable type="float1" name="LensFlare:Size6" value="0.000000"/>
<tweakable type="float1" name="LensFlare:Size7" value="0.000000"/>
<tweakable type="float1" name="LensFlare:Size8" value="0.000000"/>
<tweakable type="float1" name="LensFlare:Size9" value="0.000000"/>
For the flashing, this setting seems to remove the environment-wide light flash effect, but you still get some stroboscopic light flashes when you look at a flashing enemy.
<tweakable type="bool" name="LightFlash:Override" value="1"/>
Some other tweaks I found useful were to use the devmode mod to disable the film grain and lens dirt effect.
can you explain which options you edited exactly because I hate the lens dirt effect.
<tweakable type="int" name="Ambient Probe:Reflection Mip Count" value="7"/>
This could be the one?
i changed that second line height value to 1.900000 (meaning 1.9 meter?
i donot mind watchinh the world from a few centimeters higher visage, yet i wonder if i had turned down that number, what cross section of other character parts-limbs i would see
I also noticed that in re2 remake fps mod they literally deleted the main model head! (the shadow of main character is headless!).
ps:god! they even managed to map and render the tips of character teeth (molar...) natural and accurate! but why?
who on earth would matter the accuracy of the shape of the crown of back-half teeth of the character mouth!?
hi again
actually i know nearly nothing of graphic softwares and programing. therefore i just used a tweak of this mode mentioned in the list of tweaks on the last page, and copy-pasted the command and employed the mode...
i found and employed these line:
tweakable type="bool" name="Camera:Use FPS camera" value="0"/>
and then this:
<tweakable type="float1" name="FPS Camera:Eye Height" value="1.500000"/> which didnot change the artifact situation.
i even thought of meddling with that variable 'eye height value' but i was not really sure what it would do.
also there are several other lines regarding the fpv which i did not figure what additional tweaks they may bear. ( control-f search for fpv word highlighted them).
