  • Bob Intensity - How much camera sways as player with camera walks.
  • Screen Emission Intensity - How brightly camera screen emits.
  • Feed
  • Render Resolution - Resolution camera renders its own screen at.
  • Filter Mode - How camera image is sampled onto screen. 'Point' is pixelated. 'Bilinear' is smooth.
  • Render Fps - How many times per second camera screen rerenders, lower saves CPU. Recordings are unaffected.
  • Render Quality - 'Quality' graphics like in cyberpunk. 'Performance' renders the feed without shadows or volumetric fog and with lower detail models. 'Quality' keeps all of that.
  • Weather Perspective - Show weather from where camera is instead of where players are. Turn this off if modded weather looks wrong on screen.
  • Overlay - Camcorder style screen display. 'Off' is clear screen. 'Minimal' shows REC and battery. 'Classic' adds timecode and frame. 'Vhs' is retro look. 'Pro' is full Handycam style.
  • Focus Mode - 'Off' keeps everything always sharp. 'Auto' blurs and refocuses on its own. 'Manul' lets you pull focus yourself with Focus Near/Far keys using reticle on screen to see when youre sharp.
  • Exposure - Simulates camcorders exposure catching up when lighting changes suddenly. 'Casual' is gentle lag that never lowers visibility. 'Real' does it properly and can briefly wash out or go dark.
  • Occlusion Style - How feed reacts when camera is pressed against objects so you cannot see through walls. 'PlainBlackFade' just dims to black. 'VignetteClosing' closes edges inward and blurs as it darkens. 'VignetteSmear' adds directional smear at close range.

  • Grain - Tape grain over the whole image.
  • Scanline

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
