GameSettings

• The game_settings.toml file in l4d2-rtx can be used to tweak certain features of the compatibility mod.
• The file will be automatically created (default settings) when launching the compatibility mod.
• Valid modifications of settings are considered and will be written back to the file when it gets re-generated
• Addition or the deletion of settings via future updates should not interfere with your settings as long as the configured setting is still available
• Use in-game console command xo_gamesettings_update to reload the file

• Currently available settings:

Setting	Description	Type	Default
lod_forcing	The mod normally forces LOD0 for everything. Setting this to false disables that.	bool	true
force_graphic_settings	This forces required graphic settings (Shader/Effect etc.)	bool	true
enable_3d_sky	Enable tweaks required for the 3D skybox. Requires proper 3D skybox remix-runtime settings (sky auto detect). Can/will crash the game when its getting unfocused.	bool	false
default_nocull_distance	The default distance (radius around player) where nothing will get culled. Value is only used by certain anti-culling modes & if there isn't a manual area/leaf override via a MapSettings entry.	float	600.0
flashlight_offset_player		bool	true
lod_forcing	Offset (along forward vector) that will be applied to the remixApi flashlight of the player. F: Forward - H: Horizontal - V: Vertical	3D Vector	[ -15.50, -3.50, -5.00 ]
flashlight_offset_bot	Offset (along forward vector) that will be applied to the remixApi flashlight of bots. F: Forward - H: Horizontal - V: Vertical	3D Vector	[ 22.00, 1.00, -4.00 ]

Making changes to the rtx.conf ⚠️

In order for the config variable system to work, every available remix option needs to be present in the rtx.conf file.
This is achieved by NOT having the Save Changed Settings Only option enabled.

Now, if a map has per map tweaks or if there is an active event that utilizes the CONFIGVARS system,
saving remix runtime settings will save these settings to the rtx.conffile.

What do do

If you intent to tweak remix runtime settings (eg. adjust DLSS settings or mark textures) and want to save them afterwards, make sure to use console command:

xo_vars_parse_options

to restore all runtime settings (so they match the rtx.conf settings on disk) OR use the in-game gui (F5),
open the MapSettings tab and use the Reload rtx.conf button.

Use console command xo_mapsettings_update or the Reload MapSettings button afterwards to re-apply per map settings.
