ProjectSettings

Contains global variables accessible from everywhere.

Contains global variables accessible from everywhere. Use , set_setting or to access them. Variables stored in are also loaded into ProjectSettings, making this object very useful for reading custom game configuration options.

When naming a Project Settings property, use the full path to the setting including the category. For example, "application/config/name" for the project name. Category and property names can be viewed in the Project Settings dialog.

Feature tags: Project settings can be overridden for specific platforms and configurations (debug, release, …) using feature tags.

Overriding: Any project setting can be overridden by creating a file named override.cfg in the project’s root directory. This can also be used in exported projects by placing this file in the same directory as the project binary. Overriding will still take the base project settings’ in account. Therefore, make sure to also override the setting with the desired feature tags if you want them to override base project settings on all platforms and configurations.

Methods

• project_settings_changed ( )

Objects can use this signal to restrict reading of settings only to situations where a change has been made.

Property Descriptions

• String android/modules

Comma-separated list of custom Android modules (which must have been built in the Android export templates) using their Java package path, e.g. "org/godotengine/godot/MyCustomSingleton,com/example/foo/FrenchFriesFactory".

Note: Since Godot 3.2.2, the org/godotengine/godot/GodotPaymentV3 module was deprecated and replaced by the GodotPayment plugin which should be enabled in the Android export preset under Plugins section. The singleton to access in code was also renamed to GodotPayment.

• application/boot_splash/bg_color

Background color for the boot splash.

• bool application/boot_splash/fullsize

If true, scale the boot splash image to the full window size (preserving the aspect ratio) when the engine starts. If false, the engine will leave it at the default pixel size.

• application/boot_splash/image

Path to an image used as the boot splash. If left empty, the default Godot Engine splash will be displayed instead.

Note: Only effective if application/boot_splash/show_image is true.

• application/boot_splash/show_image

If true, displays the image specified in application/boot_splash/image when the engine starts. If false, only displays the plain color specified in .

• bool application/boot_splash/use_filter

If true, applies linear filtering when scaling the image (recommended for high-resolution artwork). If false, uses nearest-neighbor interpolation (recommended for pixel art).

• application/config/custom_user_dir_name

This user directory is used for storing persistent data (user:// filesystem). If left empty, user:// resolves to a project-specific folder in Godot’s own configuration folder (see OS.get_user_data_dir). If a custom directory name is defined, this name will be used instead and appended to the system-specific user data directory (same parent folder as the Godot configuration folder documented in ).

The application/config/use_custom_user_dir setting must be enabled for this to take effect.

• application/config/description

The project’s description, displayed as a tooltip in the Project Manager when hovering the project.

• String application/config/icon

Icon used for the project, set when project loads. Exporters will also use this icon when possible.

• application/config/macos_native_icon

Icon set in .icns format used on macOS to set the game’s icon. This is done automatically on start by calling OS.set_native_icon.

• application/config/name

The project’s name. It is used both by the Project Manager and by exporters. The project name can be translated by translating its value in localization files. The window title will be set to match the project name automatically on startup.

Note: Changing this value will also change the user data folder’s path if application/config/use_custom_user_dir is false. After renaming the project, you will no longer be able to access existing data in user:// unless you rename the old folder to match the new project name. See in the documentation for more information.

• String application/config/project_settings_override

Specifies a file to override project settings. For example: user://custom_settings.cfg. See “Overriding” in the ProjectSettings class description at the top for more information.

Note: Regardless of this setting’s value, res://override.cfg will still be read to override the project settings.

• application/config/use_custom_user_dir

If true, the project will save user data to its own user directory (see application/config/custom_user_dir_name). This setting is only effective on desktop platforms. A name must be set in the setting for this to take effect. If false, the project will save user data to (OS user data directory)/Godot/app_userdata/(project name).

• bool application/config/use_hidden_project_data_directory

If true, the project will use a hidden directory (.import) for storing project-specific data (metadata, shader cache, etc.).

If false, a non-hidden directory (import) will be used instead.

Note: Restart the application after changing this setting.

Note: Changing this value can help on platforms or with third-party tools where hidden directory patterns are disallowed. Only modify this setting if you know that your environment requires it, as changing the default can impact compatibility with some external tools or plugins which expect the default .import folder.

• application/config/windows_native_icon

Icon set in .ico format used on Windows to set the game’s icon. This is done automatically on start by calling OS.set_native_icon.

• application/run/delta_smoothing

Time samples for frame deltas are subject to random variation introduced by the platform, even when frames are displayed at regular intervals thanks to V-Sync. This can lead to jitter. Delta smoothing can often give a better result by filtering the input deltas to correct for minor fluctuations from the refresh rate.

Note: Delta smoothing is only attempted when display/window/vsync/use_vsync is switched on, as it does not work well without V-Sync.

It may take several seconds at a stable frame rate before the smoothing is initially activated. It will only be active on machines where performance is adequate to render frames at the refresh rate.

• application/run/delta_sync_after_draw

Experimental. Shifts the measurement of delta time for each frame to just after the drawing has taken place. This may lead to more consistent deltas and a reduction in frame stutters.

• bool application/run/disable_stderr

If true, disables printing to standard error. If true, this also hides error and warning messages printed by and @GDScript.push_warning. See also .

Changes to this setting will only be applied upon restarting the application.

• bool application/run/disable_stdout

If true, disables printing to standard output. This is equivalent to starting the editor or project with the --quiet command line argument. See also .

Changes to this setting will only be applied upon restarting the application.

• bool application/run/flush_stdout_on_print

If true, flushes the standard output stream every time a line is printed. This affects both terminal logging and file logging.

When running a project, this setting must be enabled if you want logs to be collected by service managers such as systemd/journalctl. This setting is disabled by default on release builds, since flushing on every printed line will negatively affect performance if lots of lines are printed in a rapid succession. Also, if this setting is enabled, logged files will still be written successfully if the application crashes or is otherwise killed by the user (without being closed “normally”).

Note: Regardless of this setting, the standard error stream (stderr) is always flushed when a line is printed to it.

Changes to this setting will only be applied upon restarting the application.

• application/run/flush_stdout_on_print.debug

Debug build override for application/run/flush_stdout_on_print, as performance is less important during debugging.

Changes to this setting will only be applied upon restarting the application.

• application/run/frame_delay_msec

Forces a delay between frames in the main loop (in milliseconds). This may be useful if you plan to disable vertical synchronization.

• bool application/run/low_processor_mode

If true, enables low-processor usage mode. This setting only works on desktop platforms. The screen is not redrawn if nothing changes visually. This is meant for writing applications and editors, but is pretty useless (and can hurt performance) in most games.

• application/run/low_processor_mode_sleep_usec

Amount of sleeping between frames when the low-processor usage mode is enabled (in microseconds). Higher values will result in lower CPU usage.

• String application/run/main_scene

Path to the main scene file that will be loaded when the project runs.

• audio/channel_disable_threshold_db

Audio buses will disable automatically when sound goes below a given dB threshold for a given time. This saves CPU as effects assigned to that bus will no longer do any processing.

• float audio/channel_disable_time

Audio buses will disable automatically when sound goes below a given dB threshold for a given time. This saves CPU as effects assigned to that bus will no longer do any processing.

• audio/default_bus_layout

Default AudioBusLayout resource file to use in the project, unless overridden by the scene.

• audio/driver

Specifies the audio driver to use. This setting is platform-dependent as each platform supports different audio drivers. If left empty, the default audio driver will be used.

• bool audio/enable_audio_input

If true, microphone input will be allowed. This requires appropriate permissions to be set when exporting to Android or iOS.

• audio/mix_rate

The mixing rate used for audio (in Hz). In general, it’s better to not touch this and leave it to the host operating system.

• int audio/mix_rate.web

Safer override for in the Web platform. Here 0 means “let the browser choose” (since some browsers do not like forcing the mix rate).

• int audio/output_latency

Specifies the preferred output latency in milliseconds for audio. Lower values will result in lower audio latency at the cost of increased CPU usage. Low values may result in audible cracking on slower hardware.

Audio output latency may be constrained by the host operating system and audio hardware drivers. If the host can not provide the specified audio output latency then Godot will attempt to use the nearest latency allowed by the host. As such you should always use to determine the actual audio output latency.

Note: This setting is ignored on Windows.

• int audio/output_latency.web

Safer override for in the Web platform, to avoid audio issues especially on mobile devices.

• int audio/video_delay_compensation_ms

Setting to hardcode audio delay when playing video. Best to leave this untouched unless you know what you are doing.

• compression/formats/gzip/compression_level

The default compression level for gzip. Affects compressed scenes and resources. Higher levels result in smaller files at the cost of compression speed. Decompression speed is mostly unaffected by the compression level. -1 uses the default gzip compression level, which is identical to 6 but could change in the future due to underlying zlib updates.

• int compression/formats/zlib/compression_level

The default compression level for Zlib. Affects compressed scenes and resources. Higher levels result in smaller files at the cost of compression speed. Decompression speed is mostly unaffected by the compression level. -1 uses the default gzip compression level, which is identical to 6 but could change in the future due to underlying zlib updates.

• compression/formats/zstd/compression_level

The default compression level for Zstandard. Affects compressed scenes and resources. Higher levels result in smaller files at the cost of compression speed. Decompression speed is mostly unaffected by the compression level.

• bool compression/formats/zstd/long_distance_matching

Enables in Zstandard.

• int compression/formats/zstd/window_log_size

Largest size limit (in power of 2) allowed when compressing using long-distance matching with Zstandard. Higher values can result in better compression, but will require more memory when compressing and decompressing.

• debug/gdscript/completion/autocomplete_setters_and_getters

If true, displays getters and setters in autocompletion results in the script editor. This setting is meant to be used when porting old projects (Godot 2), as using member variables is the preferred style from Godot 3 onwards.

• bool debug/gdscript/warnings/property_used_as_function

If true, enables warnings when using a property as if it was a function.

• debug/gdscript/warnings/return_value_discarded

If true, enables warnings when calling a function without using its return value (by assigning it to a variable or using it as a function argument). Such return values are sometimes used to denote possible errors using the Error enum.

• debug/gdscript/warnings/shadowed_variable

If true, enables warnings when defining a local or subclass member variable that would shadow a variable at an upper level (such as a member variable).

• bool debug/gdscript/warnings/standalone_expression

If true, enables warnings when calling an expression that has no effect on the surrounding code, such as writing 2 + 2 as a statement.

If true, enables warnings when assigning a variable using an assignment operator like += if the variable wasn’t previously assigned.

• debug/gdscript/warnings/unreachable_code

If true, enables warnings when unreachable code is detected (such as after a return statement that will always be executed).

• bool debug/gdscript/warnings/unsafe_call_argument

If true, enables warnings when using an expression whose type may not be compatible with the function parameter expected.

• debug/gdscript/warnings/unsafe_cast

• debug/gdscript/warnings/void_assignment

If true, enables warnings when assigning the result of a function that returns void to a variable.

• String debug/settings/crash_handler/message

Message to be displayed before the backtrace when the engine crashes. By default, this message is only used in exported projects due to the editor-only override applied to this setting.

• debug/settings/crash_handler/message.editor

Editor-only override for . Does not affect exported projects in debug or release mode.

• int debug/settings/fps/force_fps

Maximum number of frames per second allowed. The actual number of frames per second may still be below this value if the game is lagging. See also .

If display/window/vsync/use_vsync is enabled, it takes precedence and the forced FPS number cannot exceed the monitor’s refresh rate.

This setting is therefore mostly relevant for lowering the maximum FPS below VSync, e.g. to perform non-real-time rendering of static frames, or test the project under lag conditions.

Note: This property is only read when the project starts. To change the rendering FPS cap at runtime, set instead.

• int debug/settings/gdscript/max_call_stack

Maximum call stack allowed for debugging GDScript.

• debug/settings/physics_interpolation/enable_warnings

If true, enables warnings which can help pinpoint where nodes are being incorrectly updated, which will result in incorrect interpolation and visual glitches.

When a node is being interpolated, it is essential that the transform is set during Node._physics_process (during a physics tick) rather than (during a frame).

• int debug/settings/profiler/max_functions

Maximum amount of functions per frame allowed when profiling.

• debug/settings/stdout/print_fps

Print frames per second to standard output every second.

• bool debug/settings/stdout/verbose_stdout

Print more information to standard output when running. It displays information such as memory leaks, which scenes and resources are being loaded, etc.

• debug/settings/visual_script/max_call_stack

Maximum call stack in visual scripting, to avoid infinite recursion.

• Vector2 display/mouse_cursor/tooltip_position_offset

Position offset for tooltips, relative to the mouse cursor’s hotspot.

• display/window/dpi/allow_hidpi

If true, allows HiDPI display on Windows, macOS, and the HTML5 platform. This setting has no effect on desktop Linux, as DPI-awareness fallbacks are not supported there.

• bool display/window/energy_saving/keep_screen_on

If true, keeps the screen on (even in case of inactivity), so the screensaver does not take over. Works on desktop and mobile platforms.

• display/window/handheld/orientation

The default screen orientation to use on mobile devices.

Note: When set to a portrait orientation, this project setting does not flip the project resolution’s width and height automatically. Instead, you have to set display/window/size/width and accordingly.

• bool display/window/ios/hide_home_indicator

If true, the home indicator is hidden automatically. This only affects iOS devices without a physical home button.

• display/window/per_pixel_transparency/allowed

If true, allows per-pixel transparency for the window background. This affects performance, so leave it on false unless you need it.

See OS.window_per_pixel_transparency_enabled for more details.

Note: This feature is implemented on HTML5, Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android.

• display/window/per_pixel_transparency/enabled

Sets the window background to transparent when it starts.

See OS.window_per_pixel_transparency_enabled for more details.

Note: This feature is implemented on HTML5, Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android.

• display/window/size/always_on_top

Forces the main window to be always on top.

Note: This setting is ignored on iOS, Android, and HTML5.

• bool display/window/size/borderless

Forces the main window to be borderless.

Note: This setting is ignored on iOS, Android, and HTML5.

• display/window/size/fullscreen

Sets the main window to full screen when the project starts. Note that this is not exclusive fullscreen. On Windows and Linux, a borderless window is used to emulate fullscreen. On macOS, a new desktop is used to display the running project.

Regardless of the platform, enabling fullscreen will change the window size to match the monitor’s size. Therefore, make sure your project supports multiple resolutions when enabling fullscreen mode.

Note: This setting is ignored on iOS, Android, and HTML5.

• display/window/size/height

Sets the game’s main viewport height. On desktop platforms, this is the default window size. Stretch mode settings also use this as a reference when enabled.

• bool display/window/size/resizable

Allows the window to be resizable by default.

Note: This setting is ignored on iOS.

• display/window/size/test_height

If greater than zero, overrides the window height when running the game. Useful for testing stretch modes.

• int display/window/size/test_width

If greater than zero, overrides the window width when running the game. Useful for testing stretch modes.

• display/window/size/width

Sets the game’s main viewport width. On desktop platforms, this is the default window size. Stretch mode settings also use this as a reference when enabled.

• String display/window/tablet_driver

Specifies the tablet driver to use. If left empty, the default driver will be used.

• display/window/vsync/use_vsync

If true, enables vertical synchronization. This eliminates tearing that may appear in moving scenes, at the cost of higher input latency and stuttering at lower framerates. If false, vertical synchronization will be disabled, however, many platforms will enforce it regardless (such as mobile platforms and HTML5).

• bool display/window/vsync/vsync_via_compositor

If Use Vsync is enabled and this setting is true, enables vertical synchronization via the operating system’s window compositor when in windowed mode and the compositor is enabled. This will prevent stutter in certain situations. (Windows only.)

Note: This option is experimental and meant to alleviate stutter experienced by some users. However, some users have experienced a Vsync framerate halving (e.g. from 60 FPS to 30 FPS) when using it.

• editor/main_run_args

The command-line arguments to append to Godot’s own command line when running the project. This doesn’t affect the editor itself.

It is possible to make another executable run Godot by using the %command% placeholder. The placeholder will be replaced with Godot’s own command line. Program-specific arguments should be placed before the placeholder, whereas Godot-specific arguments should be placed after the placeholder.

For example, this can be used to force the project to run on the dedicated GPU in a NVIDIA Optimus system on Linux:

• int editor/scene_naming

Default naming style for scene files to infer from their root nodes. Possible options are:

• 0 (Auto): Uses the scene root name as is without changing its casing.

• 1 (PascalCase): Converts the scene root name to PascalCase casing.

• 2 (snake_case): Converts the scene root name to snake_case casing.

• editor/script_templates_search_path

Search path for project-specific script templates. Godot will search for script templates both in the editor-specific path and in this project-specific path.

• PoolStringArray editor/search_in_file_extensions

• editor/version_control_autoload_on_startup

Load the previously opened VCS plugin when the editor starts up. This is set to true whenever a new VCS plugin is initialized.

• String editor/version_control_plugin_name

Last loaded VCS plugin name. Used to autoload the plugin when the editor starts up.

• gui/common/default_scroll_deadzone

Default value for ScrollContainer.scroll_deadzone, which will be used for all s unless overridden.

• bool gui/common/drop_mouse_on_gui_input_disabled

If enabled, the moment is set to false to disable GUI input in a viewport, current mouse over and mouse focus will be dropped.

That behavior helps to keep a robust GUI state, with no surprises when input is resumed regardless what has happened in the meantime.

If disabled, the legacy behavior is used, which consists in just not doing anything besides the GUI input disable itself.

Note: This is set to true by default for new projects and is the recommended setting.

• bool gui/common/swap_ok_cancel

If true, swaps OK and Cancel buttons in dialogs on Windows and UWP to follow interface conventions.

• input_devices/buffering/agile_event_flushing

If true, key/touch/joystick events will be flushed just before every idle and physics frame.

If false, such events will be flushed only once per idle frame, between iterations of the engine.

Enabling this can greatly improve the responsiveness to input, specially in devices that need to run multiple physics frames per visible (idle) frame, because they can’t run at the target frame rate.

Note: Currently implemented only in Android.

Time (in seconds) of inactivity before which a 2D physics body will put to sleep. See .

• bool physics/2d/use_bvh

Enables the use of bounding volume hierarchy instead of hash grid for 2D physics spatial partitioning. This may give better performance.

• physics/3d/active_soft_world

Sets whether the 3D physics world will be created with support for SoftBody physics. Only applies to the Bullet physics engine.

• physics/3d/default_angular_damp

The default angular damp in 3D.

Note: Good values are in the range 0 to 1. At value 0 objects will keep moving with the same velocity. Values greater than 1 will aim to reduce the velocity to 0 in less than a second e.g. a value of 2 will aim to reduce the velocity to 0 in half a second. A value equal to or greater than the physics frame rate (physics/common/physics_fps, 60 by default) will bring the object to a stop in one iteration.

• physics/3d/default_gravity

The default gravity strength in 3D (in meters per second squared).

Note: This property is only read when the project starts. To change the default gravity at runtime, use the following code sample:

• Vector3 physics/3d/default_gravity_vector

The default gravity direction in 3D.

Note: This property is only read when the project starts. To change the default gravity vector at runtime, use the following code sample:

# Set the default gravity direction to `Vector3(0, -1, 0)`.
PhysicsServer.area_set_param(get_viewport().find_world().get_space(), PhysicsServer.AREA_PARAM_GRAVITY_VECTOR, Vector3(0, -1, 0))

• physics/3d/default_linear_damp

The default linear damp in 3D.

Note: Good values are in the range 0 to 1. At value 0 objects will keep moving with the same velocity. Values greater than 1 will aim to reduce the velocity to 0 in less than a second e.g. a value of 2 will aim to reduce the velocity to 0 in half a second. A value equal to or greater than the physics frame rate (physics/common/physics_fps, 60 by default) will bring the object to a stop in one iteration.

• physics/3d/godot_physics/bvh_collision_margin

Additional expansion applied to object bounds in the 3D physics bounding volume hierarchy. This can reduce BVH processing at the cost of a slightly coarser broadphase, which can stress the physics more in some situations.

The default value will work well in most situations. A value of 0.0 will turn this optimization off, and larger values may work better for larger, faster moving objects.

Note: Used only if physics/3d/godot_physics/use_bvh is enabled.

• physics/3d/godot_physics/use_bvh

Enables the use of bounding volume hierarchy instead of octree for 3D physics spatial partitioning. This may give better performance.

• String physics/3d/physics_engine

Sets which physics engine to use for 3D physics.

“DEFAULT” is currently the physics engine. The “GodotPhysics” engine is still supported as an alternative.

• bool physics/3d/smooth_trimesh_collision

If true, smooths out collision with trimesh shapes () by telling the Bullet physics engine to generate internal edge information for every trimesh shape created.

Note: Only effective if physics/3d/physics_engine is set to DEFAULT or Bullet, not GodotPhysics.

• physics/common/enable_object_picking

Enables Viewport.physics_object_picking on the root viewport.

• physics/common/enable_pause_aware_picking

If enabled, 2D and 3D physics picking behaves this way in relation to pause:

• When pause is started, every collision object that is hovered or captured (3D only) is released from that condition, getting the relevant mouse-exit callback, unless its pause mode makes it immune to pause.

• During pause, picking only considers collision objects immune to pause, sending input events and enter/exit callbacks to them as expected.

If disabled, the legacy behavior is used, which consists in queuing the picking input events during pause (so nodes won’t get them) and flushing that queue on resume, against the state of the 2D/3D world at that point.

• int physics/common/physics_fps

The number of fixed iterations per second. This controls how often physics simulation and methods are run. See also debug/settings/fps/force_fps.

Note: This property is only read when the project starts. To change the physics FPS at runtime, set instead.

Note: Only 8 physics ticks may be simulated per rendered frame at most. If more than 8 physics ticks have to be simulated per rendered frame to keep up with rendering, the game will appear to slow down (even if delta is used consistently in physics calculations). Therefore, it is recommended not to increase physics/common/physics_fps above 240. Otherwise, the game will slow down when the rendering framerate goes below 30 FPS.

• physics/common/physics_interpolation

If true, the renderer will interpolate the transforms of physics objects between the last two transforms, such that smooth motion is seen when physics ticks do not coincide with rendered frames.

Note: When moving objects to new positions (rather than the usual physics motion) you may want to temporarily turn off interpolation to prevent a visible glitch. You can do this using the Node.reset_physics_interpolation function.

• physics/common/physics_jitter_fix

Controls how much physics ticks are synchronized with real time. For 0 or less, the ticks are synchronized. Such values are recommended for network games, where clock synchronization matters. Higher values cause higher deviation of in-game clock and real clock, but allows smoothing out framerate jitters. The default value of 0.5 should be fine for most; values above 2 could cause the game to react to dropped frames with a noticeable delay and are not recommended.

Note: For best results, when using a custom physics interpolation solution, the physics jitter fix should be disabled by setting physics/common/physics_jitter_fix to 0.

Note: Jitter fix is automatically disabled at runtime when is enabled.

Note: This property is only read when the project starts. To change the value at runtime, set Engine.physics_jitter_fix instead.

• rendering/2d/opengl/batching_send_null

Experimental. Calls glBufferData with NULL data prior to uploading batching data. This may not be necessary but can be used for safety.

Note: Use with care. You are advised to leave this as default for exports. A non-default setting that works better on your machine may adversely affect performance for end users.

• int rendering/2d/opengl/batching_stream

Experimental. If set to on, uses the GL_STREAM_DRAW flag for batching buffer uploads. If off, uses the GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW flag.

Note: Use with care. You are advised to leave this as default for exports. A non-default setting that works better on your machine may adversely affect performance for end users.

• rendering/2d/opengl/legacy_orphan_buffers

Experimental. If set to on, this applies buffer orphaning - glBufferData is called with NULL data and the full buffer size prior to uploading new data. This can be important to avoid stalling on some hardware.

Note: Use with care. You are advised to leave this as default for exports. A non-default setting that works better on your machine may adversely affect performance for end users.

• int rendering/2d/opengl/legacy_stream

Experimental. If set to on, uses the GL_STREAM_DRAW flag for legacy buffer uploads. If off, uses the GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW flag.

Note: Use with care. You are advised to leave this as default for exports. A non-default setting that works better on your machine may adversely affect performance for end users.

• rendering/2d/options/ninepatch_mode

Choose between fixed mode where corner scalings are preserved matching the artwork, and scaling mode.

Not available in GLES3 when rendering/batching/options/use_batching is off.

• rendering/2d/options/use_nvidia_rect_flicker_workaround

Some NVIDIA GPU drivers have a bug which produces flickering issues for the draw_rect method, especially as used in TileMap. Refer to for details.

If true, this option enables a “safe” code path for such NVIDIA GPUs at the cost of performance. This option affects GLES2 and GLES3 rendering, but only on desktop platforms.

• bool rendering/2d/options/use_software_skinning

If true, performs 2D skinning on the CPU rather than the GPU. This provides greater compatibility with a wide range of hardware, and also may be faster in some circumstances.

Currently only available when is active.

Note: Antialiased software skinned polys are not supported, and will be rendered without antialiasing.

Note: Custom shaders that use the VERTEX built-in operate with VERTEX position after skinning, whereas with hardware skinning, VERTEX is the position before skinning.

• bool rendering/2d/snapping/use_gpu_pixel_snap

If true, forces snapping of vertices to pixels in 2D rendering. May help in some pixel art styles.

This snapping is performed on the GPU in the vertex shader.

Consider using the project setting to prevent artifacts.

• bool rendering/batching/debug/diagnose_frame

When batching is on, this regularly prints a frame diagnosis log. Note that this will degrade performance.

• rendering/batching/debug/flash_batching

Experimental. For regression testing against the old renderer. If this is switched on, and use_batching is set, the renderer will swap alternately between using the old renderer, and the batched renderer, on each frame. This makes it easy to identify visual differences. Performance will be degraded.

• int rendering/batching/lights/max_join_items

Lights have the potential to prevent joining items, and break many of the performance benefits of batching. This setting enables some complex logic to allow joining items if their lighting is similar, and overlap tests pass. This can significantly improve performance in some games. Set to 0 to switch off. With large values the cost of overlap tests may lead to diminishing returns.

• rendering/batching/lights/scissor_area_threshold

Sets the proportion of the total screen area (in pixels) that must be saved by a scissor operation in order to activate light scissoring. This can prevent parts of items being rendered outside the light area. Lower values scissor more aggressively. A value of 1 scissors none of the items, a value of 0 scissors every item. The power of 4 of the value is used, in order to emphasize the lower range, and multiplied by the total screen area in pixels to give the threshold. This can reduce fill rate requirements in scenes with a lot of lighting.

• bool rendering/batching/options/single_rect_fallback

Enabling this setting uses the legacy method to draw batches containing only one rect. The legacy method is faster (approx twice as fast), but can cause flicker on some systems. In order to directly compare performance with the non-batching renderer you can set this to true, but it is recommended to turn this off unless you can guarantee your target hardware will work with this method.

• rendering/batching/options/use_batching

Turns 2D batching on and off. Batching increases performance by reducing the amount of graphics API drawcalls.

• bool rendering/batching/options/use_batching_in_editor

Switches on 2D batching within the editor.

• rendering/batching/parameters/batch_buffer_size

Size of buffer reserved for batched vertices. Larger size enables larger batches, but there are diminishing returns for the memory used. This should only have a minor effect on performance.

• float rendering/batching/parameters/colored_vertex_format_threshold

Including color in the vertex format has a cost, however, not including color prevents batching across color changes. This threshold determines the ratio of number of vertex color changes / total number of vertices above which vertices will be translated to colored format. A value of 0 will always use colored vertices, 1 will never use colored vertices.

• rendering/batching/parameters/item_reordering_lookahead

In certain circumstances, the batcher can reorder items in order to better join them. This may result in better performance. An overlap test is needed however for each item lookahead, so there is a trade off, with diminishing returns. If you are getting no benefit, setting this to 0 will switch it off.

• int rendering/batching/parameters/max_join_item_commands

Sets the number of commands to lookahead to determine whether to batch render items. A value of 1 can join items consisting of single commands, 0 turns off joining. Higher values are in theory more likely to join, however this has diminishing returns and has a runtime cost so a small value is recommended.

• rendering/batching/precision/uv_contract

On some platforms (especially mobile), precision issues in shaders can lead to reading 1 texel outside of bounds, particularly where rects are scaled. This can particularly lead to border artifacts around tiles in tilemaps.

This adjustment corrects for this by making a small contraction to the UV coordinates used. Note that this can result in a slight squashing of border texels.

• int rendering/batching/precision/uv_contract_amount

The amount of UV contraction. This figure is divided by 1000000, and is a proportion of the total texture dimensions, where the width and height are both ranged from 0.0 to 1.0.

Use the default unless correcting for a problem on particular hardware.

• rendering/cpu_lightmapper/quality/high_quality_ray_count

Amount of light samples taken when using BakedLightmap.BAKE_QUALITY_HIGH.

• rendering/cpu_lightmapper/quality/low_quality_ray_count

Amount of light samples taken when using BakedLightmap.BAKE_QUALITY_LOW.

• rendering/cpu_lightmapper/quality/medium_quality_ray_count

Amount of light samples taken when using BakedLightmap.BAKE_QUALITY_MEDIUM.

• rendering/cpu_lightmapper/quality/ultra_quality_ray_count

Amount of light samples taken when using BakedLightmap.BAKE_QUALITY_ULTRA.

• rendering/environment/default_clear_color

Default background clear color. Overridable per Viewport using its . See Environment.background_mode and in particular. To change this default color programmatically, use VisualServer.set_default_clear_color.

• rendering/environment/default_environment

Environment that will be used as a fallback environment in case a scene does not specify its own environment. The default environment is loaded in at scene load time regardless of whether you have set an environment or not. If you do not rely on the fallback environment, it is best to delete default_env.tres, or to specify a different default environment here.

• rendering/gles2/compatibility/disable_half_float

The use of half-float vertex compression may be producing rendering errors on some platforms (especially iOS). These have been seen particularly in particles. Disabling half-float may resolve these problems.

• bool rendering/gles2/compatibility/disable_half_float.iOS

iOS specific override for , due to poor support for half-float vertex compression on many devices.

• bool rendering/gles2/compatibility/enable_high_float.Android

If true and available on the target Android device, enables high floating point precision for all shader computations in GLES2.

Warning: High floating point precision can be extremely slow on older devices and is often not available at all. Use with caution.

• rendering/gles3/shaders/log_active_async_compiles_count

If true, every time an asynchronous shader compilation or an asynchronous shader reconstruction from cache starts or finishes, a line will be logged telling how many of those are happening.

If the platform doesn’t support parallel shader compile, but only the compile queue via a secondary GL context, what the message will tell is the number of shader compiles currently queued.

Note: This setting is only meaningful if rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode is not Synchronous.

• int rendering/gles3/shaders/max_simultaneous_compiles

This is the maximum number of shaders that can be compiled (or reconstructed from cache) at the same time.

At runtime, while that count is reached, other shaders that can be asynchronously compiled will just use their fallback, without their setup being started until the count gets lower.

This is a way to balance the CPU work between running the game and compiling the shaders. The goal is to have as many asynchronous compiles in flight as possible without impacting the responsiveness of the game, which beyond some point would destroy the benefits of asynchronous compilation. In other words, you may be able to afford that the FPS lowers a bit, and that will already be better than the stalling that synchronous compilation could cause.

The default value is a conservative one, so you are advised to tweak it according to the hardware you are targeting.

Note: This setting is only meaningful if is not Synchronous.

• int rendering/gles3/shaders/max_simultaneous_compiles.mobile

The default is a very conservative override for .

Depending on the specific devices you are targeting, you may want to raise it.

Note: This setting is only meaningful if rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode is not Synchronous.

• rendering/gles3/shaders/max_simultaneous_compiles.web

The default is a very conservative override for rendering/gles3/shaders/max_simultaneous_compiles.

Depending on the specific browsers you are targeting, you may want to raise it.

Note: This setting is only meaningful if is not Synchronous.

• int rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_cache_size_mb

The maximum size, in megabytes, that the ubershader cache can grow up to. On startup, the least recently used entries will be deleted until the total size is within bounds.

Note: This setting is only meaningful if is set to Asynchronous + Cache.

• int rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_cache_size_mb.mobile

An override for , so a smaller maximum size can be configured for mobile platforms, where storage space is more limited.

Note: This setting is only meaningful if rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode is set to Asynchronous + Cache.

• rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_cache_size_mb.web

An override for rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_cache_size_mb, so a smaller maximum size can be configured for web platforms, where storage space is more limited.

Note: Currently, shader caching is generally unavailable on web platforms.

Note: This setting is only meaningful if is set to Asynchronous + Cache.

• int rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode

If set to Asynchronous and available on the target device, asynchronous compilation of shaders is enabled (in contrast to Asynchronous).

That means that when a shader is first used under some new rendering situation, the game won’t stall while such shader is being compiled. Instead, a fallback will be used and the real shader will be compiled in the background. Once the actual shader is compiled, it will be used the next times it’s used to draw a frame.

Depending on the async mode configured for a given material/shader, the fallback will be an “ubershader” (the default) or just skip rendering any item it is applied to.

An ubershader is a very complex shader, slow but suited to any rendering situation, that the engine generates internally so it can be used from the beginning while the traditional conditioned, optimized version of it is being compiled.

To reduce loading times after the project has been launched at least once, you can use Asynchronous + Cache. This also causes the ubershaders to be cached into storage so they can be ready faster next time they are used (provided the platform provides support for it).

Note: Asynchronous compilation is currently only supported for spatial (3D) and particle materials/shaders. CanvasItem (2D) shaders will not use asynchronous compilation even if this setting is set to Asynchronous or Asynchronous + Cache.

• rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode.mobile

An override for rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode, so asynchronous compilation can be disabled on mobile platforms.

You may want to do that since mobile GPUs generally won’t support ubershaders due to their complexity.

• rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode.web

An override for rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode, so asynchronous compilation can be disabled on web platforms.

You may want to do that since certain browsers (especially on mobile platforms) generally won’t support ubershaders due to their complexity.

• rendering/limits/buffers/blend_shape_max_buffer_size_kb

Max buffer size for blend shapes. Any blend shape bigger than this will not work.

• int rendering/limits/buffers/canvas_polygon_buffer_size_kb

Max buffer size for drawing polygons. Any polygon bigger than this will not work.

• rendering/limits/buffers/canvas_polygon_index_buffer_size_kb

Max index buffer size for drawing polygons. Any polygon bigger than this will not work.

• int rendering/limits/buffers/immediate_buffer_size_kb

Max buffer size for drawing immediate objects (ImmediateGeometry nodes). Nodes using more than this size will not work.

• rendering/limits/rendering/max_lights_per_object

Max number of lights renderable per object. This is further limited by hardware support. Most devices only support 409 lights, while many devices (especially mobile) only support 102. Setting this low will slightly reduce memory usage and may decrease shader compile times.

• int rendering/limits/rendering/max_renderable_elements

Max amount of elements renderable in a frame. If more elements than this are visible per frame, they will not be drawn. Keep in mind elements refer to mesh surfaces and not meshes themselves. Setting this low will slightly reduce memory usage and may decrease shader compile times, particularly on web. For most uses, the default value is suitable, but consider lowering as much as possible on web export.

• rendering/limits/rendering/max_renderable_lights

Max number of lights renderable in a frame. If more lights than this number are used, they will be ignored. Setting this low will slightly reduce memory usage and may decrease shader compile times, particularly on web. For most uses, the default value is suitable, but consider lowering as much as possible on web export.

• int rendering/limits/rendering/max_renderable_reflections

Max number of reflection probes renderable in a frame. If more reflection probes than this number are used, they will be ignored. Setting this low will slightly reduce memory usage and may decrease shader compile times, particularly on web. For most uses, the default value is suitable, but consider lowering as much as possible on web export.

• rendering/limits/time/time_rollover_secs

Shaders have a time variable that constantly increases. At some point, it needs to be rolled back to zero to avoid precision errors on shader animations. This setting specifies when (in seconds).

• bool rendering/misc/lossless_compression/force_png

If true, the texture importer will import lossless textures using the PNG format. Otherwise, it will default to using WebP.
