Updated to game version 2.31! ! ! Unlock hidden settings in the game, including Amazing Crowd Density, Global Illumination Range, Slow Hard Drive Mode, and Anti-Aliasing, and change dynamic resolution limits (FPS target and min/max resolution).

Miscellaneous Settings Unlocker

🎮 **Updated to support game version 2.31/2.31a**

💡 **It is strongly recommended to back up the current "options.json" file**, located in your [CP77>r6>config>settings>platform>pc/steamdeck] folder. I personally recommend renaming the file to "options.json.bak" so that when you need to restore it, you only need to delete the ".bak" suffix.

📥 Installation instructions

  • Unzip to the CP77 main installation folder
  • Some "Extreme" settings may not work. It is recommended to set to "Ultra High" application first and then try "Extreme"
  • In this way, even if "Extreme" is not working, it can still be maintained at the "Ultra High" setting

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
