[How-To] Access the Developer Menu
Since I'm frigging tired of people complaining all the time, here's how to access the developer menu.

Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/qqsaTJt.png

  1. Open Settings.ini
  2. Add the following row to [Game]:
    devMenu=y
  3. Launch the game.
  4. Hit Escape anywhere to access the Developer Menu and use it to spoil yourself about everything the game includes.

It basically took me 10 minutes of scrolling through the executable file (you know, the Denuvo protected executable?) to find that parameter.

Happy?

Here's a bunch of other parameters you can throw in Settings.ini if you want to, for whatever reason:

Game:language Game:dataFile Game:devMenu Video:windowed Video:border Video:exclusiveFS Video:vsync Video:tripleBuffering Video:pixWidth Video:winWidth Video:winHeight Video:fsWidth Video:fsHeight Video:refreshRate Video:shaderSupport Video:screenShader Audio:streamsEnabled Audio:streamVolume Audio:sfxVolume GamePad Map %d Keyboard Map 1:up Keyboard Map 1:down Keyboard Map 1:left Keyboard Map 1:right Keyboard Map 1:buttonA Keyboard Map 1:buttonB Keyboard Map 1:buttonC Keyboard Map 1:buttonX Keyboard Map 1:buttonY Keyboard Map 1:buttonZ Keyboard Map 1:start Keyboard Map %d:up Keyboard Map %d:down Keyboard Map %d:left Keyboard Map %d:right Keyboard Map %d:buttonA Keyboard Map %d:buttonB Keyboard Map %d:buttonC Keyboard Map %d:buttonX Keyboard Map %d:buttonY Keyboard Map %d:buttonZ Keyboard Map %d:start Keyboard Map %d:select GamePad Map %d:name GamePad Map %d:icon GamePad Map %d:vendorID GamePad Map %d:productID GamePad Map %d:mappingTypes GamePad Map %d:offsets GamePad Map %d:maskVals

The format is simple, Section:Parameter.
So, e.g. "Video:pixWidth" becomes:
[Video] pixWidth=3

%d refers to decimal numbers (0-9) and %s refers to a string.

And yes, that means you might be able to rebind the gamepad keys if you figure out the bindings of it, and take vendorID and productID from Windows' Device Manager.

Badum tish...

People are too annoyed by Denuvo to play around with the Developer Menu, I guess. Or actually playing the game as well.

With Developer Menu enabled:
F12 to 'pause' the game, then use F11/Insert to step forward one frame at a time.

Let's you easily capture screenshots if you set it all up before: http://i.imgur.com/go7Z33B.png (random example to show off Sonic's face)

F11 ♥♥♥♥, better change my reshade toggle key, F12 better change my Steam screenshot key too.

Yeah, DevMode=y seems to disable Steam screenshots. Hence the imgur links :D

Edit, you can use Insert instead of F11 to step forward as well.

And if anyone missed it. F3 changes the screen shader used. Even without DevMenu=y.

Backspace speeds up the game a ♥♥♥♥ ton. Use with care!

Or hold down Backspace on launch to speed past all the intros.

I'll update it slowly but steadily.
Great

Jesus ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ christ, the mass-flood of Denuvo is completely drowning this thread. Anyway, I'll have to stop having fun with this game for now. Got work to do and an open beta game to download.
