Turn on the game's numbers
One console line gives the app its health numbers.
- In game, press ~ (the key left of 1) to open the console.
- Type the command below and press Enter. The performance block shows in the top right.
r_displayinfo 3 In 4.10, levels 2, 3 and 4 show the same block.
Quick switches
- Performance overlay (health numbers): on r_displayinfo 3, off r_displayinfo 0
- Session QR code (bug reports): on r_DisplaySessionInfo 1, off r_DisplaySessionInfo 0
The console remembers: press ~, then ↑ to bring back an earlier command, then Enter.
Blur the QR code in screenshots you post. It identifies your session.
Tips for clean readings
- Dark behind the text reads best. Over the sun or snow a reading is skipped, not wrong.
- Keep the top right corner clear of Discord, Steam and fps counters.
- Turn off Chromatic Aberration and Film Grain.
- 1440p or higher reads every value. 1080p is fine for the main numbers.
- For screenshots, press Esc first so the menu darkens the screen.
