Tips and Tricks

Quickly enter console commands

There is seemingly no way to bind commands to keys using the console. If you want to freeze the game, you need to open the console and type out "FreezeFrame" or scroll up to a previously entered command and press enter.

You can use any macro software in order to create macros to open the console, type the commands, and close the console all in a split second. You can chain several commands in a single macro if you're constantly entering the same commands every time you launch the game.

Otherwise, keep the commands handy in a notepad file for quickly copy\paste. Especially for the rendering commands you want.

Retrieve game default values

If you put a command into the console without a value (r.AmbientOcclusionRadiusScale) you can see the default value the game uses. Useful for when you want to reset your tweaks without restarting the game.
