Updated for game v2.12
WARNING: This will revert your saved game settings (all of them) to default upon install!
I highly suggest to make a backup of your current "options.json" file in your [CP77>r6>config>settings>platform>pc/steamdeck] folders... I personally just rename my file to "options.json.bak" then, if ever needed I'll just remove the ".bak" from the name to restore it...
I didn't want to include Astonishing Crowd Density tweaks in here, as I really don't want to take downloads away from it, but the tweaks edit the same file so they would be incompatible and I know people will want this setting (and I know I do myself)... Please support the author of that mod also by downloading and endorsing it, and all credits for that tweak goes to them for originally discovering the setting... I am also splitting 10% of all earned DP from this mod with the author (tDuality) out of respect... And to anyone wondering, I totally didn't steal this tweak... I knew it was an option due to that mod, but never looked in it's file... Just guessed that it was as simple as adding either a "Psycho" or "Insane" option to the list, and "Psycho" was a correct guess...lol
What all settings does this enable, and do they actually work (main file)?
Adds in an Antialiasing option to the Graphics settings... There are 2 options for this, Medium and High...
Adds in the Gameplay setting for "Astonishing" crowd density... As far as I can tell, this seems to work as it causes flickering NPCs when set to this (only while in photo mode) along with my DistanceBoost ini tweak, while the "High" setting does not have this issue... I do not have this issue at all without my ini tweak, by the way... Oh, and I feel like there's more NPCs... Haven't done any counts or anything, though...lol
Adds in Gameplay setting for "Slow HDD Mode"... From my tests, I can't tell any difference... I don't think this setting does anything anymore... It also resets itself to "Off" every time you close the game... Doesn't hurt to try if you actually do have a slow HDD, though... After more testing, this does seem to have an effect, but since it resets itself every time you close the game, it kinda sucks...lol
Changes Dynamic Resolution Scaling settings in the graphics options... Sets the minimum target FPS to 1 instead of 10, and decreases the lower value for both the max and minimum res sliders to 25% (from the default of 50%)... Both sliders still have a maximum of 100% (increasing this didn't seem to do anything)... This could potentially help people run the game that were never able to before, though of course at much lower visual fidelity than what is normally deemed acceptable...lol... Just as a little test, though, I reduced the sliders to 10% minimums and ran a benchmark locked at 10% of 1080p (with FSR upscaling, and yes, it looked horrible, but I got an average of 107.6FPS on an RX 480)... Added a screenshot of the benchmark results to the images...lol
Unlocks the Ultra Global Illumination Range graphics setting (and High, which is the game's default), which is pretty awesome... It appears to make some lights emit more light (such as the campfire in the screenshots), and it noticeably improves all GI at longer ranges by quite a bit... Clears up a lot of noise, too (even on light reflections)... Slider Screenshot Comparison (1080p mostly High settings, FSR Quality w/50% Sharpening, Medium AO and Subsurface Scattering, no "post-process" effects like DoF or Motion Blur)... High GI Range on left, Ultra on right... Also, this doesn't really seem to affect performance much... I haven't actually ran any benchmarks, though... Oh, and I tried to add in lower settings, but they didn't appear to do anything so I removed them (also tried adding in a psycho setting)... High and Ultra settings were already in the file, the setting itself was just hidden in-game... I would imagine this won't make any difference with Path Tracing, and possibly not much of a difference, if any, for normal Ray Tracing...
The "Psycho" version does all of this, plus increases the maximum settings for almost all graphics options to at least Ultra (most up to Psycho), and also decreases the minimum settings for some options... This is the version I use and recommend...
Installation:
Extract to main CP77 install folder (not sure if Vortex will work, but I kinda doubt it... Also, pretty certain a REDMod version would be impossible using this config file)
Some of the "Psycho" settings (only in the "Psycho" version) may not work, and, if they don't work the game will use whatever the last option is that did work... So I suggest to set everything you want to try on "Psycho" to "Ultra" first and hit apply, then set them all to "Psycho" and apply again... This way, they're at least on "Ultra" even if the "Psycho" option doesn't work for that particular setting (from my tests so far, I'm almost certain that all "Ultra" settings work)... I'm still running tests for the "Psycho" settings, but I think they all work... I'm just not 100% sure about a couple (especially RT Lighting since I can't test that)... If you notice that a setting doesn't work, please let me know in the comments or a bug report...
Uninstallation:
Delete the options.json file from your [CP77>r6>config>settings>platform>pc/steamdeck] (pc OR steamdeck) folder, then restore your backup
Changelog:
1.0 - Initial Release
1.1 - Changed lower value for DRS max res to 25% to match the minimum res
1.2 - Changes the max FPS cap to 500 (no clue how well this works as I can't get anywhere near 240, let alone 500), sets the max target FPS for DRS to 500, lowers both DRS minimum values to 10% and maximum values to 200%
1.25p-revA - Psycho Variant now out of initial testing phase... Removed non-working options, though probably added in more, so still somewhat a test version... No settings cause any issues in-game, though, just some "Off" and "Low" settings that I added in may not work...
1.25p-revA_2 - Uploaded wrong file for v1.25p-revA... This is now the correct file... Sorry for any inconveniences...
