First create a new text file and name it "custom.cfg" NOT custom.cfg.txt (you can name it whatever but this is what it will be for this guide).

Next put in the first command:

cvaradd r_skipadaptiveglare 1

This will disable the incredibly over the top bloom.



Now for DOF.

This one is a little more complex and since this game has been out I have not seen it properly explained on any guide or forum.

Without understanding how to properly change the value of this command people are giving either false information or a half truth so I've noticed most people just don't think it's possible.

Some people were getting it sort of right by saying you have to type cvaradd r_postprocessdofmode -1. The value does need to be at -1 but getting it to -1 isn't so straightforward.

For some reason some commands in this game you can't simply change by just changing the value to what you want. The r_postprocessdofmode command is one of them.

You have to use negative numbers to manually subtract the values.

For example if you're default "r_postprocessdof" is at 4 (the max) you can't just change the value to -1 by putting "cvaradd r_postprocessdofmode -1".

Instead you have to put "cvaradd r_postprocessdofmode -5" since 4 - 5 = -1.

I really don't know why some of the commands work this way in this game but this is why I could never seem to get it disabled by following other peoples instructions. Most people were saying you have to put "cvaradd r_postprocessdofmode -1" to disable it. But since my setting was at 4 by default doing that was just changing it to 3 so it wasn't disabling it. I think this has been happening with a lot of people.

You have to get the value to "-1" for it to be disabled.

So first you have to find out what your default value it's at to disable it.

If you're using max settings it's probably at 4 but just to make sure bring up the console in-game and type in "r_postprocessdofmode" without quotations.

It will then tell you the current value. After that you just subtract the number by 1 extra to get it to -1.

So if it's at 4 you have to put cvaradd r_postprocessdofmode -5 to get it to -1 and that will disable it.



So, to disable DOF if your game starts with the value at 4 by default add this command to your new text file:

cvaradd r_postprocessdofmode -5



After that just put the custom.cfg with the commands in to this folder:

C:\...\SteamApps\common\Wolfenstein.The.New.Order\base

And then when you start up the game, open the console and type "exec custom.cfg" without quotations to activate the commands in the text file.

Alternatively, if the above command doesn't work, you can try "exec custom.cfg.txt" instead as I've seen mentioned in the comments, though this means you probably named the file "custom.cfg.txt" instead of "custom.cfg". No need to have .txt at the end of the file.
