Bethesda has lived up to their promise and released the list of console commands for The Evil Within on PC. The publisher has posted commands to unlock the game’s FPS and aspect ratio, as PC gamers have requested. But they have also gone an extra mile and provided us with console commands that are just plain cheat codes that make the game super easy (so don’t use them on your first playthrough, punks!). To access the debug console, right click the game in your Steam library, go to Properties, and past the following under “set launch options”: +com_allowconsole 1. Once the game has launched, hit the insert key to bring up the dev console. From there, insert the chosen console command. Here’s the full list of commands:
R_swapinterval
- Sets the FPS lock. Note that the numbers below are negative.
- -2: This is the default, set to 30 FPS. This is the officially supported frame rate
- -1: This sets the FPS limit to 60. Fully playable, although there may be quirks (we’re going to fix these).
- -0 This fully unlocks the FPS. We do not recommend playing above 60. We will not fix any issues above 60.
God
- God mode. You are effectively invincible, and certain enemy kill moves will not be used against you (Laura, for example, will not jump on you)
Noclip
- Allows you to walk through walls
G_infiniteammo
- Unlimited ammo (provided you have at least 1 bullet when you enable this)
G_stoptime 1
- Stops time. Note there is a bug right now where using this command causes a UI element to appear on screen. We’re looking to fix that in the near future.
- Re enable time with g_stoptime 0
Toggledebugcamera
- Separates the camera from Sebastian so you can freely move around the
R_forceaspectratio <NUMBER>
- Sets the aspect ratio. Default is 2.5, which is our official aspect ratio.
- 0 is full screen, but not ideal. 1.8 or 2 is probably most comfortable for those who don’t want bars.
Com_showFPS
- Turns on id’s native FPS counter
Startslowmotion2
- Slows down time
Stopslowmotion
- Disables slow motion
