Crysis 3 CVar Configurator
Hey guys, my name is Baldur and I work at Crytek UK on the R&D/Engine team on various parts of the rendering.
With the help of some of the guys at the office here I've written up a document covering the variables and tweaks that are available in Crysis 3. With these you can turn on or off features, and tweak settings more precisely to squeeze out better performance.
DISCLAIMER
Any changes you make are at your own risk. Although I would love to promise that you will never encounter any problems when changing these settings, I can't. We at Crytek felt that it was better to allow you to change these values, and maybe encounter bugs, rather than not allowing any changes at all.
Some of these settings are developer tweaks and aren't rigorously tested, so you might encounter glitches or bugs. If you encounter any game bugs then please disable any tweaks you have before reporting them - otherwise we can waste time investigating problems caused by simply unsupported tweaks. However feel free to post in this thread to let people know if one tweak you made causes problems, to save others time finding that out themselves!
I've attached a zip containing two files.
The html file contains all of the variables and more information about what they do. You can change these files either in-game via the console, or in a 'system.cfg' file in your Crysis 3 game directory.
The zip file contains a tool I've written to show all the options in (hopefully!) an easy to understand way, and lets you simply check a box to e.g. enable windowed no-border mode. It should have included instructions that guide you on how to use it, please ask if anything is unclear. The tool requires the .NET 2.0 Framework which I think hopefully everyone will have as it comes with Vista and above.
If anything is unclear or you have any questions about configuring or tweaking any of these options then let me know and I'll do my best to clarify and explain.
Please post any comments, questions or bug reports in this thread, and not by PMing me. I will do my best to respond as quickly as possible to this thread, but understand that I can sometimes be busy with work so if you send something directly to me I can't promise a quick response.
Also as this is in danger of easily veering off topic, if you have general comments about the game or bugs to report that aren't related to customising your config or any of the options here then please search the forum to see if there is a topic about it already, or post a new one.
