Less significant settings and those which don't appear to have any practical impact are not covered below. Only major settings which affect gameplay, image quality and performance will be detailed below.Variables which can be completely altered using the in-game settings are not covered below.Most of the variables and their usage are the same as in STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl.
Also note that typically if you change a command using the Command Console, the change will be written to User.ltx, so that's typically a quicker way to alter User.ltx - see the next section for more details. You can alter any of the values shown and save the file, and the changes will be implemented upon next starting up Clear Sky.
When you open the file you will see a range of settings, most of which are the same as the Console Commands covered on the next page. This file is automatically loaded up each time Clear Sky starts, and the values in it are implemented by the game's X-Ray engine at that time.įortunately you can open it with a text editor like Windows Notepad and alter the values in it, but before making any changes make absolutely sure to create a backup copy of it first. Your personal settings and keyboard configuration for Clear Sky are held in a file called User.ltx, found under the \Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\STALKER-STCS directory in Windows XP, or the \Users\Public\Documents\STALKER-STCS directory in Windows Vista.
