Extra setting (user.cfg)

You can customize some elements of Orcs Must Die! 2 by creating a user.cfg file and adding notes into it. Here are the instructions for how to properly set up a user.cfg file.

1. Navigate to D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\orcs must die 2\data\startup\ and create a text file called user.cfg. Ensure that you aren't creating a file called user.cfg.txt, as this is a common mistake in this step.

2. Edit user.cfg and add options from the list below to change your settings:


NoAlienFX Use this option to turn off the AlienFX lighting effects on Alienware Computers. This may also help with game launch issues that some Alienware users are experiencing.

–voice Be sure the minus sign is included or this command won’t work. Use this to completely disable in-game voice chat. Disabling the in-game voice chat will allow players to use the Steam voice chat instead, should they choose to.

HideCrosshair For players that want to play in 3D, this option will turn off the 2D reticule.

SwapOnBind Instead of unbinding a key when you set it in the game menus to a key that’s already in use, the game will swap with the key that was previously mapped. -sound Completely disables game sounds DoNotPostToLeaderboards Prevents your scores from posting to the leaderboards EnableBloodMapToggle This allows you to toggle the blood map (at any time) using “L” key in-game or a custom keybind ForceFPS=## This will force the game to use a desired number of frames per second. Replace ## with the desired number.

3. Save your user.cfg file (again, ensure that you're not saving it as user.cfg.txt) and relaunch Orcs Must Die! 2
