Wolvenkit will not work otherwise.
Settingvalue
Game Executable Path (.exe)

Path to the game's executable file on your hard drive, e.g.

C:\Games\Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64\Cyberpunk2077.exe

Depot Path

Defaults to C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\Depot


A folder where Wolvenkit can store all its clutter.
NOT your game directory.

## Settings: Overview For a textual explanation of the seettings, see [the next section](#settings-explained)

Example settings window for 8.9.1

## Cyberpunk ### Game Executable Path {% hint style="danger" %} You **must** set this. {% endhint %} The path to your `Cyberpunk2077.exe` , inside [The Cyberpunk 2077 Game Directory](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-users/users-modding-cyberpunk-2077/the-cyberpunk-2077-game-directory) under `bin\x64`. {% hint style="info" %} If Cyberpunk is installed within Program Files, we recommend running WolvenKit as administrator. {% endhint %} ### Launch Command {% hint style="success" %} Optional {% endhint %} The path to your `Cyberpunk2077.exe` , inside [The Cyberpunk 2077 Game Directory](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-users/users-modding-cyberpunk-2077/the-cyberpunk-2077-game-directory). Will be auto-generated from [#game-executable-path](#game-executable-path "mention"). You can also put the path to the REDLauncher here, if you want that (but why would you?) ### Launch Options {% hint style="success" %} Optional {% endhint %} Arguments for the executable. You can find a list in [the yellow wiki](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/) on the [Launch parameters](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-users/users-modding-cyberpunk-2077/the-cyberpunk-2077-game-directory/launch-parameters) page. ### Depot Path {% hint style="warning" %} You **should** set this, or Wolvenkit will default to your AppSettings directory. Since this is on the same drive as your Windows install, it can clutter up your harddrive. {% endhint %} The **Depot Path** is a WolvenKit system folder for caching game assets. It serves as a cache for mesh exports with materials. WolvenKit builds a repository of visual assets within the Depot for usage with external applications such as MLSetupBuilder or Blender. By default, it is set to `C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\Depot`, but you can pick any location. It does not need to be on an SSD, although Wolvenkit might load faster if it is. Learn more about the [**Material exports here**](/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/usage/blender-integration.md)**.** ### Additional Mod Directory {% hint style="success" %} Optional {% endhint %} A directory for .archive mods outside of your game directory, for example for resources that you want to load for multiple projects. Mods inside this folder will show up in the [Mod Browser](/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/editor/asset-browser.md#mod-browser) **after** your installed mods. ## Display ### Show CName hashes as hex Display hashes for CNames as hexadecimal (rather than decimal) ### Show ResourcePath hashes as hex Display hashes for ResourcePaths as hexadecimal (rather than decimal) ### Show NodeRef hashes as hex Display hashes for NodeRefs as hexadecimal (rather than decimal) ### Show TweakDBID hashes as hex Display hashes for TweakDBID entries as hexadecimal (rather than decimal) ### Show reference graph ### Game language used for LocKeys Lets you customize the language for the [LocKey Browser](/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/editor/lockey-browser.md).
