Additional Configuration Options

Additional configuration options can be found to tweak your game even further than the menus allow. I am giving it a play around to see whats what. But I see some potential for increasing framerate. If you find anything good drop a comment and I will add it to the main post.

Location of the pcconfig.txt

You can find your config file at

C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment\LEGOWorlds\pcconfig.txt

Editing the file

Open the config file with something that supports UNIX style line endings. My favorite is Sublime but a good free text editor is Notepad++.

Some recommended ones.
Notepad++[notepad-plus-plus.org] - Free
Atom [atom.io]- Free
Sublime [www.sublimetext.com]- Not free but is great

Settings formatting

The formatting seems pretty straightforward. A string for the setting name and a signed integer for the setting.

ScreenWidth 1920
ScreenHeight 1080

Settings, because they are signed, can also be negative

DRCWindowLeft -1
DRCWindowTop -1

They can also act as booleans (1 is true, 0 is false)

ProcessColourEnabled 1
WaterDistortionEnabled 1

All Settings

Some of these settings are not inside the config file initially. Here are all the ones I can uncover for right now. When I added the ones that are not in the config file to start out, they appear to get removed when the game saves over its config file.

FileVersion

Current version of the game files? Right now its 7

RenderWidth and RenderHeight

Not in the config file initially. They didn't appear to effect the games resolution at all and when I added them they got removed from the config file.

ScreenWidth and ScreenHeight

The resolution the game runs at.

WindowWidth and WindowHeight

Changing the resolution did not change these values. They appear to be set to the resolution of your actual screen and not what the game runs at. Changing them effects the size of the window that shows before it goes fullscreen.

WindowLeft and WindowTop

Don't know yet.

DRCWindowWidth and DRCWindowHeight

Don't know yet. Default value for me was

DRCWindowWidth 854
DRCWindowHeight 480

DRCWindowLeft and DRCWindowTop

Don't know yet. Default value is -1

ScreenRefreshRate

The refresh rate of your screen in Hz.

Notice that this is the file in which the game saves the settings, not the one from where the settings are used. By next start of the game these changes will be overridden. I got my hopes up too when I stumbled over this.

[54R-R1A The Ai Witch of Insanity]

i think this might need to be updated and reviewed since the 1.0 update o.- since there seems to be more stuff since this was done o.-

[Ainswort]

guys tell me in what extension you stay DATA file?, my game does not start

[Revadike]

What is UserDataPath and TrackingCamera?

[sedme]

I think this uses the same engine as Lego City Undercover or whatever that WiiU game is, so that would make sense.

[MarioMan]

DRC is the internal name of the Wii U GamePad. Perhaps the engine is simply designed to run on Wii U.

[Bugboyb]

how do i make thw world load faster

[Alcamango]

I think SpeedBlurSupported is about when something in the game is moving too fast and has a blur, like the superhero The Flash, and can or can't support it. This may all be wrong, I haven't tried this and just assumed by the name.

[ARM505]

Hmm, nothing to allow using another drive for the savegame....my poor boot SSD is getting mauled by my sons 3.8GB savegame and I see no way to move it and still have it accessible by the game short of horrible mounting/drive tricks....

[クリフォード]

The game wouldn't start for me, and all I had to do was delete the config file, then start the game as normal and it worked.
