Settings Overview

Page Contents

This page will serve as an explanation of every setting found in-game. Any setting can be changed in the menu or mid-run, unless if noted otherwise.

Settings on this page will be covered for Non-Beta (u99r1) players. Any additional settings or change to current ones in the betas will be listed at the bottom sections.

Any NTT-specific settings are currently unlisted here. v100 includes all the changes found in the 2023 beta.


Audio

1. Master Volume
- Slider that controls all volume in the game.

2. Music Volume
- Slider that controls the sound of music in the game.
- Utility: Can be used to tell when a boss becomes active if boss intros are disabled, or if a boss is killed off-screen.

3. Ambience Volume
- Slider that controls the sound of ambience volume in the game.
- This has no relation to gameplay whatsoever, thus can be muted without worry.

4. 3D Sound
- A toggle to enable or disable if 3D sound is being used.
- If enabled then sound will be stereo audio. This differentiates between left/right for directional sound cues, though not upwards/downwards.
- If disabled then sound will be mono audio. This is best used as an option if one headphone is broken or for accessibility if hard of hearing on one side.

Video

1. Fullscreen
- Toggles how the diplay should behave.
- Fullscreen will minimize the game if tabbed out of, but dedicates more resources to the application. Best for performance.
- Borderless runs like windowed mode but appears like fullscreen, allowing for tabbing out without menimizing. Best for convenience.
- Windowed mode can adjust size and placement on the screen freely, gameplay will always keep a consistent aspect ratio. Be cautious of accidentally closing out the program as there is no confirmation popup. (Mouselock setting under 'Game' can help prevent this)

2. Crosshair
- Toggles between 8 different crosshairs for the cursor to use.

Crosshair 1

Crosshair 2

Crosshair 3

Crosshair 4

Crosshair 5

Crosshair 6

Crosshair 7

Crosshair 8

3. Side Art
- Selects which side art appears in game.
- Options 1-3 has a vault symbol in variants of brown, purple and green.
- Options 4-6 has a crown symbol in variants of brown, purple and green.
- Option 7 is YV's logo in gold with a red background.
- Option 8 is a blue IDPD pattern featuring a Grunt, Inspector and Shielder.

4. Screenshake
- Slider that toggles the intensity of screenshake.
- Shoooting any weapon will cause the screen to shake, with heavier hitting weapons shaking the screen more. Explosions also effect screen shaking.
- Having it on 0% will disable screenshake completely.
- While 100% is visually the max of sliders, screenshake can be toggled up to 200% using controller or keyboard. This is an easter egg commonly seen in Vlambeer & JW titles.

5. Freeze Frames
- Slider that toggles the effects of freezeframes.
- Hitting enemies will cause temporary hitlag to give the feeling of more impact.
- This has some utility (especially in lategame) where it can create artificial lag to give more reaction time.

6. Hide hud
- Toggles whether hud icons should be shown or not.
- The hud includes all overlay icons; HP, rad level, held weapons, ammo levels, mutations and in-game timer.
- Specific parts of the hud cannot be individually toggled besides the timer, so keeping the hud on is recommended.

7. Gamepad Style
- Toggle that swaps button layouts between Xbox and PlayStation for visual indicators.

Game

1. Boss Intros
- Toggles whether intro cards should appear when bosses spawn.

2 Delete Data
- An option to completely wipe save data, counting down from 3.
- Cannot be used mid-run, only from main menu settings.
- Without a save back up there is no way to recover save data. Save editing can restore progress, but not stats.

3. Play Tutorial
- Enables replaying the tutorial level.
- Cannot be used mid-run, only from main menu settings.

4. Timer
- Enables the in-game timer.
- The timer will stop during level transitions and when the game is paused, but will not stop during mutation/crown selection.
- Because of lag the in-game timer will not reflect real time. The further a run goes, the less accurate it may be.

5. Stream Key
Currently not working and causes crashes on some versions. The game will fail to enable stream key if clicked.
- Enables a stream key which can be used to track data from a run. This can be used to give information to third party programs, such as displaying live run information over Discord.
- If enabled Thronebutt would track any runs privately over 60 runs that could be viewed by signing into the site, which currently is not possible.

6. Cursor
- Toggles between Default, Native and Compatible cursors.
- Default wil have the cursor remain within the borders of the game, not overlapping with the side art. It runs at the same FPS as the game.
- Native will have the cursor run at the same framerate at one's own computer system, and will overlap the side art.
- Compatible appears to the functionally the same as native cursor, but noticeably smaller at larger game resolutions.

7. Mouselock
- Toggles whether mouselock is enabled.
- If enabled it will prevent the cursor from leaving the screen, primarily useful for dual monitors or playing windowed mode.
- In the 2023 beta mouselock will only be active while actively playing, stopping on pause menus.
- In previous versions the only way to leave the screen while having it enabled is by alt+tabbing.

8. View Credits
- Opens the credits of the game normally seen after completing a run.
- Cannot be used mid-run, only from main menu settings.
- Will not include the end credits theme.

Controls

1. Gamepad
- Enables controller usage.
- Will only turn on if a controller is currently connected.
- For first time use on Steam make sure to connect it first through the Steam client. (Steam on left top -> Settings -> Controller)
- NT may not recognize PlayStation controllers, ds4windows can help.

2. Autoaim
- Slider that determines how much the cursor should autoaim.
- Will shift the cursor to the closest enemy to it automatically to help with aiming.
- While useful in some situations this can reduce the ability to aim at specific enemies, so prioritizing specific threats may be difficult.

3. Aim
- Toggles controller layout between left handed and right handed.
- This swaps movement and aim buttons to better suit the primary hand.

All other control options are related to keybinds which can be re-bound.
This section will cover KBM controls and list their defaults. Controllers will differ depending on type.

Unlisted controls cannot be rebinded, which also includes:

2021 openbeta additions

Video setting additions:

1. VSync
- Toggles vsync on or off.
- This is used to help prevent screen tearing.
- VSync can sometimes turn itself back on even if toggled and appears off.

2. Window Scale
- Only can be toggled in windowed mode (fullscreen off).
- Will adjust window sizes (1x, 2x, 3x and 4x) at perfect 4:3 resolutions, which makes any side art not visible.
- This will choose what window size the game will be launched with as well. Windowed always started on 1x in u99r1.

Gamepad Style now also includes button layouts for Switch controllers.

Game settings additions:

1. Autopause
- Toggles whether autopause is on or off.
- If enabled the game will automatically pause if tabbed out for any reason.

2. Framerate
- Switches between 30 FPS and 60 FPS.
- Cannot be used mid-run, only through the main menu settings.
- 30 FPS is the intended Throne experience, while 60 FPS gives smoother gameplay.

3. Delete Data
- Option is now moved to the bottom of the list, given a counter of 5 instead of 3, and gives a proper warning about its function.
- (Text is weirdly overlayed in this version. Fixed in 2023 beta.)

2023 openbeta additions

Game settings now has a new 'Mechanics' sub-screen.

1. Stream Key is moved here but still functions the same. (Still broken)

2. Framerate now includes a 120 FPS option, but is restricted from daily/weekly challenges.

3. Aspect Ratio
- Default is 4:3, but includes 1:1 and 16:9 letting the player see more of the screen.
- Daily/weekly challenges only allow for 4:3.

4. Custom FPS/Size
- Opens another sub-menu to allow for specific FPS and aspect ratios.
- There is a bug where playing above 120 FPS will not work and set it back to 120. A fix to this is setting the desired FPS, exiting the game, and then re-launching it.

5. Rad Attract
- Classic: Default rad behavior. Rads will often get stuck on corners on 30 FPS.
- Fast: Like classic rads without wall sticking.
- Modern: If rads cannot reach player, will fly around in circles wildly to try to get around walls.

Gamepad Style under 'Video' settings now includes Steam Deck layout, only appears if playing on it.

Controls page has a major overhaul in the 2023 beta with new sub-menus.

Gamepad toggle is still on the main controls page, but it will be greyed out unless if a controller is connected. Toggling it on will make some controller options appear:

There is a new sub-menu for changing controls and allows re-binding of secondary inputs for both KBM and controller. YV's Airhorn can now be re-binded, and KBM can now re-bind some secondary buttons it could not before (shift, arrow keys and mouse wheel).

There is another new sub-menu called extra options;

1. Keyboard
- Toggles KBM recognition while a controller is in use.

2. Mouse Aiming
- Toggle that allows aiming to be done with the mouse instead of joystick.

Per-Player
- Toggle that enables another sub-menu to change Player 2's controls, which includes all all the gamepad/binding options from above.
- NTT v100 allows for local 2p-4p options as well.
