📋 Installation

circle-exclamation
  1. Download the latest cet_x_xx_x.ziparrow-up-right file. (Do not download the source code)

  2. You can now either

    • Unzip the download directly into your Cyberpunk 2077 game directory or

    • Unzip to anywhere on your desktop. After unzipping the file, you will see a bin folder.

    • Drag the bin folder to your Cyberpunk 2077 game directory

  3. If installed properly, the Cyber Engine Tweaks files (plugins folder, LICENSE, global.ini, version.dll) will be in the x64 folder of your install directory.

  4. Ensure all apps that add overlays to the game (Rivatuner, Fraps, Afterburner, Discord, Steam, Gog, Windows 10 Game Bar, Geforce Experience, et cetera) are disabled as the console may not open with overlays active.

  5. Launch the game!

  6. When you first start the game, a window will appear prompting you to choose a keybind to bring up the overlay. Pick any key and save it. Now it will open with that key from now on.

  7. (Optional) To check that everything works you can look at the logs in <cyberpunk install path>/bin/x64/plugins/cyber_engine_tweaks/cyber_engine_tweaks.log

  8. (Optional) When installing through nexus, make sure to use hardlink deployment.

🗃️ Configuration

TweakDB Editor

In recent versions of Cyber Engine Tweaks, no additional configuration is necessary to browse the TweakDatabase in real time.

After opening CET with the key that you bound in the previous step, you can find it in the "TweakDB Editor" tab.

Please note that changes you made in the editor do not persist across game restarts.
