0:46 What it is
2:20 Adding the files
5:05 Explaining each line
23:10 Is it allowed?
26:40 Regular steps
30:45 Conclusion
1) Make sure your ingame settings are all low/off except Texturing can be whatever you like
2) Put tuning.cfg and user.cfg files here: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\MechWarrior Online
3) Delete the "shaders" folder: C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\MechWarrior Online
4) Every time you load the game, make sure you go into testing grounds first
If you open the ingame settings and click "save" for any reason, you will need to reload testing grounds

Huge thank you to Carbon for all his help in explaining the user.cfg file to me, creating the user.cfg file, and helping to make this video! - Ігри
Thanks for pointing out the vegetation thing....so many maps I'm trying to aim past trees and now it explains why some people do really well when I don't in similar circumstances.
this is cheating
@@hungrymatador213 Not according to PGI. They are changing the map to fix the issue....
I've resisted for a while, but after spending half a match on river city sub 30fps I give up. Same positions getting at least 80 now. Thank you, and thank carbon.
I wish those cfg's would never be a thing to change. I feel forced to use them now if I wanna play competively.
Its cheating and the scumbags who posted this vid know it
We have to go to testing grounds EVERY time we load the game - ahh I get it, thanks so much!
Hey, i'm just going through this and i have written down some feedback/thoughts/questions throughout my own process of watching and applying this.
Myself i play the game since '13/14 and started with an old Notebook from '09 (Core2Duo @2GHz, GTX GT220M, 4GB, HDD) and had to rely on those tweaks back then. They were also documented well back then but this video tops it in accuracy and focus on the most important stuff - much much better than trying to make sense of what people rambled about in the forums! Now, after returning to MWO again-again again i got a stronk PC (5600X, 6700XT, 32GB, SSD) but with MWO being what it is, i still need some tweaks to even out hiccups/lags.
So thank you, Carbon and all the geeks who collected all the info along the way (again) for condensing all the info in a short and precise walkthrough for everyone to follow along in a reasonable pace! 🍪=)
*Feedback follows...*
-didn't include adding the .cfg files to the folder (for n00bs)
-Q: how about including a .cgf file that is not modified already as a baseline for people who want to start at zero and tweak only to their liking? I see you already added some flavour (laser beams, smoke etc.)
-audio levels of the both of you seem uneven/incosistent at times, Carbon is loud and clear and your voice appears to be quieter and i think further away from the mic (background noise/static from computer maybe or open window/traffic(?))
-9:56 the movemenet makes it hard to see what you want to showcase in this clip; visual comparisons are more useful when standing still imo; after replaying it 5 times i finally saw some objects not being loaded with the line of code disabled (fiery chimneys left side for example)
-10:50 particlesLOD 0.25 is not normal as stated in the .cfg - it is a heavily reduced amount actuially (PPCs not jizzing (at all) like crazy they do by default)
-16:45 ;Terrain texture detail range: Does it have to be exponential numbers (256, 512, 1024, 2048, ..)? Or are those meters?
-autotargeting can be toggled!!?? \_ö_/
-oversized hearts for my mechbutts!!?? \_ö_/
-i like that you decided disabled excluding trees/water by default
-Explanation to
;UI perf improvements
gfx_inputevents_mouse_move_threshold = 0.0166
This makes the UI basically 60fps - it's explained in Ash's Discord. By default if you click on armor up/down it would only register so many clicks, sometimes ignoring inputs, with this it registers at a much higher rate
-including the legal questions/statements by PGI and comp rulemakers is a very based moved! o7
Again, thanks and good job!
Thank you both, very much .
Super helpful after a power outage wiped out my config the other day - thank you!
this is cheating
@@hungrymatador213I think you vastly overestimate what this config gives you. literally color balances and gives me 90fps instead of fps dips down to 15-25. both of those things are achievable by either spending money for a better rig and monitor settings or this.
thank you very much for the great video, i much appreciate it 👍
this is cheating
Hey, so to update you about the particles drawing through objects... that seems to be related to the r_UseSoftParticles setting.
you guys are awesome thank you
mauler*
You made me go deeper into the game. Much appreciated! Always great to see new vids and play on the same field with you Gee! Enourmouse amounts of thanks to Carbon for making it possible.
this is cheating
@@hungrymatador213 For me it's a fine tuning now avaluable for everyone thanks to Gee and Carbon. Don't use trees and water cancelation.
I have a question regarding quality of the advanced zoom. I have noticed if i lower my settings to low and then allow the config file to refine the resolution to make things look nice, it has the unintended consequence of lowering the resolution/sharpening of the advanced zoom.
Is there any way to retain a high quality advanced zoom while using the config file options to optimize the rest of the settings?
this is cheating
Oh wow! This is an amazing video that I can utilize for my potato PC! Thank you guys so much. Maybe now I can even play on the colosseum map without my framerate dropping to single digits. Easily one of the best vids I've seen for MWO. Also, I can't wait to see how this will effect my CS23 gameplay. Thanks guys
Really great video and explaination.
I've been trying messing around with the cfg file for so long..I just wish there is a fix to make the game less sluttering specialy when playing as a light
this is cheating
great video instant sub
This video teaches to cheat
@@hungrymatador213 for one aspect yes. no trees is cheep. wish they would disable that option. as for the rest though. ill use anything to run the game better. but ill never use the no trees option. im an honorable player.
also cfgs are in every game. and put there to save and modify your game setting. many have tons of experience using them. even in CSgo and are legal in tournaments.
Cheating is cheating, don't minimize bad behaviour that is going to fucking ruin the game now that the fucking cheaters are trying to spread how as far as possible to hide the years of bullshit they have been pulling in a tidal wave of config cheating. USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN.@@fanculo619
Gives me an idea for how I can get ppcs and strikes to start rendering again. A few patches ago, I lost all ability to see where shots were coming from for some ballistics and ppcs. It's nice to see where a shot came from. I don't find the hud indicator to be that good for it, unless I'm being shot from behind and couldn't have seen the shot, anyway.
this is cheating
Thanks GR!
Wow! Thanks for taking the time to educate us and level the playing field. None of this was documented and I can see how such knowledge can be abused to other people's detriment. You guys rock in a completely transparent and refreshing way! It gives me hope for the game.
GeeRam is trying to get you all to cheat so it normalizes the cheating he does, he doesn't care how it ruins the game
As a programmer, that had gone through the documentation of the game engine, there were a couple settings here that I had not considered. Well done.
Thank you both for a cool and updated video.
this is cheating
Thanks for this guys. It's great that you have shared this with the community
GeeRam is trying to get you all to cheat so it normalizes the cheating he does, he doesn't care how it ruins the game
Awesome to see so much info all in one video, I had to search and search and ask around to find out this stuff.
this is cheating
pretty sure leveling the playing field is WHY they made the video mate - almost all the top players use the user.cfg and reshade stuff@@hungrymatador213
Can you change the HUD colour? for Colourblind ppl. (one voice is a litlle louder ) Great Work !
Really taking that goal of bringing equilibrium to the game seriously! Well done Geeram, I'm with you that some of these things should not be able to be removed, but feel like my hand is forced if I want to be competitive in the top levels of comp queue and even top 12 if my team makes it this year. I hope PGI takes more pride in their game and puts more effort into disallowing these clear and obvious competitive advantages to exist in the game. Thanks for being the anti-negging/get wrekd scrub/you're worse than me so you're human trash of so many top tier players and actually seeking to involve people and bring people into the community, not drive them away. Keep up the great work, and thank you as well to carbon!
GeeRam is trying to get you all to cheat so it normalizes the cheating he does, he doesn't care how it ruins the game
its not competitive anymore if the comp scene uses cheats by default
I just got a high refresh display with vrr and for it to work in a match I have to alt enter twice to go to windowed then back to fullscreen. Anyone else having this issue?
Doing God's work here fellas. Thanks!
this is cheating
So is this how people change the graphics settings to remove shadows and miscellaneous graphics effects to make it easier to see enemy mechs?
It is one of the ways, yes. I think you can remove shadows with the default settings though. Also, people use filters to help visibility, which is separate from the user.cfg
Great work, buddy!
this is cheating
Can we remove trees without tuning all others quality to low?
Yes, but since viridian bog and forest colony classic have been removed from map rotation it won't do anything as of now.
Just FYI, your settings cause particles and other stuff to draw through solid objects. This probably was not intended.
great vid, thanks Geeram
This is cheating
Anyone got any ideas why this might not work under Linux with Steam? I'm not sure if any settings are applying, but the tree user.cfg setting most definitely isn't :( Not a permission problem, user.cfg and tuning.cfg set to 777
Game runs fine otherwise, has for a couple years. Proton is our saviour.
EDIT: looks like nothing in user.cfg is applying at all. Hrm, directory is fine, game can write to the sub directory Shaders (if i delete them they will regenerate). Gotta be something specific with MWO running under Linux Proton.
I have no experience with Linux sorry.
what is the fastest testing ground to load in?
I'm not 100% sure but Forest Colony Classic seems like a good choice. It has less grid squares and buildings/objects.
So much effort! TY
so much effort to cheat
@@hungrymatador213 A lot of players don't change their sensitivity settings or perhaps any settings from default, so if this is cheating then go ahead and put all of yours at max and enjoy the black fly fidgety crosshair at 10 fps . You're just miseducated about this thing. Personally i'm not taking out water, but i'm reducing plants bc there's too much and i'm old and can't see shit anyway. Every other setting is to suit your PC and make it quality of life improve, not even close to cheating. It's just settings changes to improve computer performance for non rich people.
Thanks Gee! I didn’t know this existed.
it is cheating
I feel so relieved I just sold everything in MWO, and uninstalled. The last 6 months have been miserable, playing was a chore, and haven't played in over a month. Hope you win Worlds. ✌
I'm glad you were able to step away from something that was making you miserable, hope a better future awaits for you Shamrock!
Thanks a lot!
This is cheating and Gee is a fucking cheater
back when i had potato PC in 2018-2020 i disabled every setting i could and one of them broke advanced zoom. it no longer displayed digital picture in picture, but zoom level was slightly more than 2.0x without advanced zoom perk taken.
loved playing with these settings cuz it didn't cause disorientation and dizziness every time i rotated camera. WANT THEM BACK! (but forgot wtf i did back then. cant replicate)
trolls don't say something like: dont play with advanced zoom bro. 2x simply not enough to see in current sniper meta where everyone spams ppcs across half a map. Im at disadvantage.
Please do a guide for linuex.
"4) Every time you load the game, make sure you go into testing grounds first"
Please tell me that isn't mandatory...
If you don't it will not apply all CFG settings. Just have to go into testing grounds once when you boot the game.
for some reason it won't allow me to save changes to the config saying I dont have permission to open the file. Anybody know how to fix this?
Did you download the file first? If so, can you save changes to the file when it's in a different directory?
@@geeram3762 I figured it out thank you for the response. I had to "unblock" the file in the properties window, and permit access to all for the my computers users.
this doesn't seem to work anymore.
The culling trees seems to only work on removing forest colony classic for me. Emerald Taiga still has them as do other maps.
Trees you can knock down will stay trees that you cannot knockdown will go.
@@LavaDa1shi doesn't seem to be the case. Emerald vale trees that can knock down are still present on my side withe the user cfg. I can tell it's loading cause the poc trails and laser intensity is way lower compared to normal. But the only map that removes destructible trees is forest colony classic. I run with Beefysupreme and he has the same issue.
@@LavaDa1shi I will try and capture a video of it sometime this week and link it here.
@@Dark-Hound I think you misread what I said. The destructible trees are the ones that stay.
@@LavaDa1shi oh and I am saying that all trees stay destructible or not. But I need to retest. It's the white/pink ones in the snow parts of emerald that I noticed being the biggest hindrance
I tried this and it didn't seem to make any difference. The pop-in of objects and geometry is just so jarring I want that to go away. I just want max graphics without the texture and geometry popping in my face from 2 feet away. maps like HPG are atrocious for this.
Did you load it in testing grounds first?
Which setting turns on the hacks?
anything the poster of this video does
GeeRam is leveling the playing field AGAINST the interests of top-tier comp players by releasing this video. If you think that he's done something bad by releasing it, then you're missing the point entirely.
@@Mr_Fission but why here and now? cheats and exploits should be reported back to the devs years ago and not after u get bored with them and mwo scene died like a cancer.
Because despite the efforts pgi lost the keys to the engine and are to stupid to block things / don't care.
@sionBassault is joking he is actually part of EQ geerams comp team.
The remove trees crap should be banned honestly!
everything he showed is cheating he is just trying to get everyone else to do it to hide that he is a fucking cheater
Good stuff! Thank you very much!
where do i put this for a normal install?
Hmm what about non steam users?
Your game directory is in a different place, other than that everything should be the same.
I'm shocked you don't have EVE Online in your library.
My library is filled to the brim with things I have no interest in haha. Maybe I'll give some of them a try one day.
@@geeram3762 You should! You and the hardcore nullsec guys would get along famously. Nothing gets the blood pumping like fleet action in EVE.
nah man the removing trees and water is disgusting. how can pgi leave that in the game...
incredibly nice of you to make this video, but part of me will also resent you for it. despite it being, unfathomably so, allowed by pgi, i am REALLY not looking forward to playing against people using such settings... in my opinion it is literally cheating.
Respect for Gee for the video, but knowing trees are removed from some people's game is just lame. Thanks for trying to get this fixed G.
The sad truth is that people have been using that for years, mate. You are already playing against people that remove water and bushes, the reason that section is in the notes and why they are talking about it is to raise awareness that it has been a problem for a long time. They are leveling the playing field by allowing people the option to do the same without having a significant understanding of the game's inner workings.
he isn't trying to get it removed, he is trying to get all of you to cheat so enough do that it hides and normalizes the cheating bullshit he is doing@@Rumplenutskn
I disagree about removing the water. Water is very poorly optimized in the game and because of it, FPS is greatly reduced.
But cutting down trees is truly a scam and should be prohibited.
and then you all cry about this game dying while nobody wants to play against such cheating pricks. basicly same happened to the q3 engine multiplayer games in the past. people exploited configs like no tommorow and suddenly nobody wanted to play them anymore or pay for the servers.
