How to use Cyber Engine Tweaks Settings
The Settings tab is where you change the Overlay open/close hotkey, and toggle the tweaks to Cyberpunk2077's game engine.
See the following section for more information about the configuration file generated using this UI.
Config fileDescription of all the configuration variables available
The config file is generated automatically and manual edits are not recommended. To modify configurations, use the Settings tab in the CET overlay.
For adjustments to fonts and other stuffs not available in the CET overlay, manual editing may be considered.
The config file can be found in: <cet install path>/config.json
The config file is structured with two JSON layers, we use the format <first level>.<second level> to represent the key.
Consider the example JSON snippet below, the key for the base size of the font is noted as font.base_size, which carries a value of 16.0.
{
// other lines
"font": {
"base_size": 16.0,
"language": "Default",
"oversample_horizontal": 3,
"oversample_vertical": 1,
"path": ""

Change font & language settingA guide on how to change the font and font size for Cyber Engine Tweaks and mods based on Cyber Engine Tweaks. And how to display non-English characters.
Use a text editor to open the config file at <cet install path>/config.json to adjust the settings.
In this page, we use this example JSON snippet to guide you through adjusting the settings:
{
// other lines
"font": {
"base_size": 16.0,
"language": "Default",
"oversample_horizontal": 3,
"oversample_vertical": 1,
"path": ""
},
// other lines
}Locate this line under the "font" curly brace:
"path": ""Add the path of the font you want to change to between the double-quotes. For example, if you want to change the font to Comic Sans, just change this line into:
"path": "C:/Windows/Fonts/comic.ttf"Note: You should use slash (/) instead of backslash (\) for the path.
Some mods may have implemented multilingual support. But the non-English characters will display as a question mark "?". This is because the default font only contains ASCII printable characters.
To display a language that only uses ASCII characters (such as French, German), all you need to do is to change the font to one with a wider range (Literally any font).
To display a language that uses non-ASCII characters (such as Chinese, Russian), besides changing the font, you also need to change this line in the config file under the "font" curly brace:
"language": "",Here is a table of the "language" options and their descriptions.
Cyrillic
Supports languages that use (e.g. Russian, Bulgarian..)
ChineseFull
Supports traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, and Japanese display
ChineseSimplifiedCommon
Only supports simplified Chinese display
Japanese
Only supports Japanese display
Korean
For Korean
Thai
For Thai
Vietnamese
For Vietnamese
For example, to display Chinese all you need to do is:
{
// other lines
"font": {
"base_size": 16.0,
"language": "ChineseFull",
"oversample_horizontal": 3,
"oversample_vertical": 1,
"path": "C:/Windows/Fonts/simhei.ttf"
},
// other lines
}The result (using the Sim Hei / 黑体 font):
