Hi!

The last few days I've been tweaking the game. I did it by changing the autoexec.cfg. All worked pretty well.

But there are some important tweaks that can't be changed in the autoexec.cfg. They have to be changed by enhancing the desktop shortcut (adding the tweaks in the command line). For example depth of field and the annoying bloom effect.
And that's the point where my problem starts.

The tweaks for DoF and Bloom are:
+r_DepthOfField 0/1
+r_glow 0/1

(0 off, 1 on)

I added the tweaks to the command line, but they don't apply. Nothing happens in the game. The shortcut is the problem, not the tweak. I've tested this with g_SkipIntro. This one works well in the autoexec.cfg but does not work when added to the shortcut.

I've added them like this:


What am I doing wrong?

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Thx for your help!

I believe it should be a minus not a plus, plus if for Steam launch options

Hm, yea. Good Idea. I remember something like this. I'll test it right away...

Edit: No, -g_SkipIntro 1 doesn't work in the shortcut...

Edit2: I have some launch options set in Steam using a "-" and they're working.

Up!
Any solutions?

Why don't you use the autoexec.cfg?
btw. the plus is just alright

I think you just want to try config hacking.

Lol, how comes that? I want to turn off the ugly bloom-effects. That's no hacking. I just don't want to play an ugly blurry console-port. I want to play a nice looking 2011 PC game.
And by the way: If I wanted to try config hackig, I'd try to hack the config - not the desktop shortcut. Accusation fail.

Please read carefully. As I've said: Some changes don't work by adding them to the autoexec.cfg (example: r_glow=0/1). You have to add them to the shortcut.
