Glass Liquid System Override
Change the resolution of the system that renders the blood splatters and other liquids on your visor or disable it entirely.
Disabling the system entirely prevents/"fixes" the so-called "Void Bug" from happening, where sometimes a blob of darkness, the big black blob consumes your entire screen, making you unable to see anything for a few seconds up to minutes at a time.
📷 Glass Liquid Override Quality Settings Overview:
Default Quality:
Worst Quality: (VeryBad
)
Best Quality: (Extraordinary
)
Sentry Markers
Adds a player colored marker on placed down sentry guns, with who placed it and the sentries type above it.
📷 Example:
Show Weapon Stats
Displays the weapons stats on the weapon select screen.
Damage, clip size, max ammo and more
Glowsticks!
Change the base color to any of the available ones (Green, Yellow, Orange or Red) which syncs to other players!
And/Or override the color locally (for yourself only) based on one fixed color or based on who threw the glowstick.
Loading Indicator
Displays a little indicator that shows if other players have finished loading yet.
Nickname
Change your name in game, includes a color option.
Player Color Override
Allows you to change the colors of you and your teammates.
Additionally allows you to colorize other players based on their nickname color.
99% Reload Fix
Fixes the bug that leaves you with one bullet short in the mag even though enough ammo is available.
L4D Style Resource Packs
Use left and right mouse buttons to apply resource packs instead of E
Left mouse = yourself
Right mouse = other players (can be held down + hovered over a player to start the interaction)
Disable Hud Sway
Makes the in-game hud stay in place while running, jumping and looking around.
Disable UI Mirroring
Removes the mirroring effect on UI elements.
Disable UI Parallax
Stops the movement of UI elements in menu screens (Loadout, Rundown, ...) whenever you move your cursor around.
(Some elements might get partially or fully cut off-screen!)
No Dead Pings
Fixes pings (red triangles, doritos) staying on dead enemies as a result of high ping.
Remove Story Dialog
Prevents all level-based voice events that have subtitles assigned from playing.
(Goodbye Schaefer & Co 😥)
Skip Elevator Animation
Automatically skips the cutscene after initiating a cage drop.
This leads to faster load times as the game only starts building the level once the cutscene is over.
Bot Customization
Customize your Bots appearance as host and change their names. (Syncs to other players!)
Process Priority
Automatically change the games process priority, potentially increasing performance by a tiny bit.
