Guide to installing the Cyber Engine Tweaks patch into the game
You can find additional guides on how to install mods in the users section of the Cyberpunk 2077 modding wiki, including
a very detailed step-by-step guide for first-time users
If you only want to install Cyber Engine Tweaks, this is the guide for you.
📋 Installation
If you run into any troubles with binding a key, run the game in Windowed Borderless and disable all third-party overlays (Discord, Steam, Afterburner, Gog...)
Download the latest cet_x_xx_x.zip file. (Do not download the source code)
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
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.
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.
Launch the game!
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.
(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(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.
