:{{icon-exclamation}} Warning: changing CVars directly can cause issues. Like changing 'cameraDistanceMax' in Config.wtf may render the "Max Camera Distance" slider useless. In some cases you may have to quit the game, and manually remove the CVar line from the .wtf file. Any changes done though CVars are generally the same as setting them through the game Configuration UI and will be saved.
