About yamashi/CyberEngineTweaks

Cyber Engine Tweaks is a Lua scripting framework for Cyberpunk 2077 that provides modders with access to the game's internal scripting features. It includes a Dear ImGui-based graphical user interface, an in-game console, and a TweakDB editor for advanced modifications. The tool also bundles a variety of quality-of-life patches (e.g., AMD SMT optimization, pedestrian/traffic removal, disable async compute, disable temporal AA, skip start menu, suppress intro movies, disable vignette, disable boundary teleport, Windows 7 VSync bypass) that can be individually enabled or disabled. Development options like ImGui diagnostics, debug menus, and binding cleanup aid mod creators. The framework tracks the current Cyberpunk 2077 release and requires RED4ext.
