Physical CPU P-CoresRendererWorkerCount

Matches game threads to physical CPU cores, eliminating hyperthreading micro-stutters.

VRAM Scale Target70% (0.70)

0.50 (Safe 6GB)0.70 (Recommended Headroom)0.85 (16GB+)

Leaves safety headroom to prevent VRAM paging hitches and sudden Dev Error 6068 crashes.

Tactical Visibility & Motion Blur Stripping

Strip World Motion Blur (WorldMotionBlur = 0.0)Removes camera blur during high-speed mouse flicks and fast target tracking.

Strip Weapon Motion Blur (WeaponMotionBlur = 0.0)Keeps gun sights and optics razor sharp during slide-cancels and sprint-to-fire.

Clutter QualityReduces grass & ground clutter hiding prone enemy silhouettes.

Volumetric QualityDisables dense particle fog and smoke rendering in dark areas.

Screen Space ShadowsStrips heavy contact shadow compute for higher FPS.

Anti-Cheat Transparency & FAQ

Is modifying .cst files safe from Ricochet Anti-Cheat?

Yes, 100% safe. Modifying local text configuration files (.cst) is officially permitted and functions identically to changing settings in the main menu. No executable memory injection, DLL wrappers, or background software hooks are used, ensuring total compliance with Activision and Ricochet terms of service.

Why does RendererWorkerCount eliminate micro-stutters?

By default, Call of Duty frequently oversubscribes CPU threads to hyperthreaded logical cores instead of physical performance cores. This creates thread contention and frame pacing spikes. Locking this value to your exact physical core count keeps the render thread pipeline clean and consistent.

How does the 1-Click PowerShell installer work?

The apply_config.ps1 script is open-source plain text. It searches your user Documents or LocalAppData directory for the active Call of Duty options file, makes an automatic timestamped .bak backup, and applies your chosen values in seconds.

Can I revert back to default settings at any time?

Absolutely. You can restore your timestamped .bak file created by our installer, or delete the options file entirely. Call of Duty will automatically generate clean factory defaults next time the game boots.
