Rendering

The second category of the mod menu. It holds the image shader and the render resolution.

Shader
Brightness Makes the whole image brighter or darker, from -10 to 10. Dead Space is dark on purpose, so only raise it if you really can’t see anything.
Contrast Pulls dark and bright parts further apart or closer together, from -10 to 10.
Sharpness Sharpens the image, from 0 (off) to 10.
Saturation More or less colour, from -10 (grey) to 10.
Reset Puts all four shader sliders back to 0.
Rendering
Resolution The render resolution for both eyes together, from 1920×1080 up to 7680×4320. Each eye gets half of the width. Choose a resolution, press SET and restart the game for it to take effect. Start low and raise it until the game stops running smoothly.

Bindings

Here you can find the bindings for normal gameplay. Keep in mind that menus, the inventory, the store, the bench and save stations use their own layouts, which you will find out by yourself, I’m sure.
