Autoexec.cfg/CVars not working? Read this!

Post » Tue Dec 14, 2010 2:31 pm

Hi guys,

There seems to be some confusion about autoexec configs no longer working. Due to a change in the engine/game, CVars need to have a space after the command.

To give an example, this will work:
Code:
cl_fov = 65
This will not work:
Code:
cl_fov=65
As long as there is a space after the command, it should work as per normal. Some other alternatives that will still work:
Code:
cl_fov =65
Code:
cl_fov 65

I seriously doubt that's your autoexec. Very seriously. Looks cut out from anywhere i look at it.

Cry-Adam: You disabled even MORE Cvars. WHY?
Why don't you just disable 1 or to CVars?
Oh, and why is r_DisplayInfo disabled too? seems to have no effect setting it to 1.

It's really a shame :|

As the OP says, please keep to the point. The point of this thread is to find out what CVars people think have been disabled.

I seriously doubt that's your autoexec. Very seriously. Looks cut out from anywhere i look at it. Why do i need a long autoexec? I run everything on extreme and i want to skip the intro videos and change my FOV. That's all i need, and this is off topic.

I'm trying to help, so far i'm getting no help in return...

Hi, the problem is solved put a space between the =, it works fine, at least the MP console commands like r_motionblur=0.

Thank you for the first valid input :)

I was of the understanding that this is the issue people are facing, that's why i'm asking people to post their configs.

Well my water settings don't seem to be working. Normally I play with all settings at Very High, but with the water at Extreme using autoexec.

I'll try to check to verify. Hold on. I don't think they worked in 1.4 either.

the autoexec.cfg file doesn't seem to be working as i had fov=74 and other things set, my character seems to be walking slow now but folks have said that the system.cfg is the one to tweak now.
what .cfg file are you setting your fov in?

I'll make it easier for you Adam, since i just tested that;

My previous Autoexec.cfg was:

Code:
sys_spec_shading=1
sys_spec_gameeffects=1
sys_spec_objectdetail=1
sys_spec_particles= 1
sys_spec_physics=1
sys_spec_postprocessing=1
sys_spec_shadows=1
sys_spec_sound=1
sys_spec_texture=1
sys_spec_water=1
g_skipIntro=1
cl_fov=90
pl_movement.power_sprint_targetFov=90
i_mouse_accel=0
i_mouse_accel_max=100
i_mouse_smooth=0
r_motionblur=0
g_radialBlur=0
cl_zoomToggle= 0
r_UseEdgeAA= 0
r_TexMaxAnisotropy=0
r_PostMSAA=0
cl_crouchtoggle=1
r_ColorGrading=1
r_SSAO=0
r_VSync=0
e_shadows=0
g_enableInitialLoginScreen=0
r_HDRBloomMul=0
r_HDRBrightLevel=0
r_MultiGPU=0
g_useHitSoundFeedback=0
sys_MaxFps=120
r_DrawNearFoV=90


And it wasn't working cause for some reason some of your coders decided that if you actually want something like that to work, you need to add a space between the "=" and the number( 0 , 1 , 90 for example). So here the same autoexec.cfg but this one works:

Code:
sys_spec_shading= 1
sys_spec_gameeffects= 1
sys_spec_objectdetail= 1
sys_spec_particles= 1
sys_spec_physics= 1
sys_spec_postprocessing= 1
sys_spec_shadows= 1
sys_spec_sound= 1
sys_spec_texture= 1
sys_spec_water= 1
g_skipIntro= 1
cl_fov= 90
pl_movement.power_sprint_targetFov= 90
i_mouse_accel= 0
i_mouse_accel_max= 100
i_mouse_smooth= 0
r_motionblur= 0
g_radialBlur= 0
cl_zoomToggle= 0
r_UseEdgeAA= 0
r_TexMaxAnisotropy= 0
r_PostMSAA= 0
cl_crouchtoggle= 1
r_ColorGrading= 1
r_SSAO= 0
r_VSync= 0
e_shadows= 0
g_enableInitialLoginScreen= 0
r_HDRBloomMul= 0
r_HDRBrightLevel= 0
r_MultiGPU= 0
g_useHitSoundFeedback= 0
sys_MaxFps= 120
r_DrawNearFoV= 90


Hopefully it helps some players.

Thanks so we still tweak the autoexec.cfg?

Wow! I'm sooo relieved right now. :DDD

Yeah adding spaces solves the issue for me. They work in game.cfg still but that file seems to be reset every time you exit now.

Windows 7 64bit, DVD version
Neither Game.cfg or autoexe.cfg works and with or without spaces between "equal" and the numbers.

g_skipIntro=1
cl_fov= 65
pl_movement.power_sprint_targetFov=75
g_enableInitialLoginScreen=0
r_MultiGPU=1
g_useHitSoundFeedback=0

Edit: space after the command works

I never saw where it was confirmed working in 1.4. I did post that it was disabled, but didn't see any response regarding it. It does work in 1.2. I think it is very silly to disable this command. It doesn't promote cheating in anyway that I can see. It's pretty lame that the ATI hardware in my crappy PS3 can do 3d, but not my 2 5870s anymore since patch 1.4.

I can confirm that MP works fine, actually it's better than before, my VRAM is getting hit more too.
Thanks again, now please give us another option to purchase the DLC. :)
