Earlier this week, GamerHeadlines reported the PC system requirements for upcoming. Shinji Mikami-directed horror game, The Evil Within, alongside the news that PC version (and all other versions of the game) will run at 30 frames per second at an aspect ratio of 2:35:1.
The Bethesda forum administrator that originally revealed above The Evil Within news went on to add that PC gamers will be provided with debug commands detailing how one can go about altering The Evil Within‘s framerate and aspect ratio.
Fortunately for PC gamers, the very same individual has just released The Evil Within‘s PC debug console commands, which will allow players to enable the game to run at 60 frames per second, change the aspect ratio, among other commands (such as god mode, free camera mode, et cetera).
However, the administrator has stated that using the aforementioned console commands is unsupported by Bethesda and their customer service team.
Read more details on and find out how to use The Evil Within‘s debug console commands after the break.
The Evil Within PC Debug Console Command Guide
The following comes from this post on the the official Bethesda forums:
“We promised them, and here they are! Please note that using debug console commands is unsupported by Bethesda and our customer service team.”
To access the debug console, do the following:
- In Steam, right click on The Evil Within and select “properties” then under the General tab, hit “set launch options.”
- Put this in to unlock the console: +com_allowconsole 1
- Once the game has launched, hit the Insert key to bring down the developer console.
These are the commands you can use and some notes about each:
- R_swapinterval <NUMBER>
- Sets the FPS lock. Note that the numbers below are negative.
- -2: This is the default, set to 30 FPS. This is the officially supported frame rate
- -1: This sets the FPS limit to 60. Fully playable, although there may be quirks (we’re going to fix these).
- 0: This fully unlocks the FPS. We do not recommend playing above 60. We will not fix any issues above 60.
- God
- God mode. You are effectively invincible, and certain enemy kill moves will not be used against you (Laura, for example, will not jump on you)
- Noclip
- Allows you to walk through walls
- G_infiniteammo
- Unlimited ammo (provided you have at least 1 bullet when you enable this)
- G_stoptime 1
- Stops time. Note there is a bug right now where using this command causes a UI element to appear on screen. We’re looking to fix that in the near future.
- Re enable time with g_stoptime 0
- Toggledebugcamera
- Separates the camera from Sebastian so you can freely move around the
- R_forceaspectratio <NUMBER>
- Sets the aspect ratio. Default is 2.5, which is our official aspect ratio.
- 0 is full screen, but not ideal. 1.8 or 2 is probably most comfortable for those who don’t want bars.
- Com_showFPS
- Turns on id’s native FPS counter
- Startslowmotion2
- Slows down time
- Stopslowmotion
- Disables slow motion
