Piggy's gameinfo.gi	Base optimizations but is here for if you want to use his config
Base_convars.txt	All of the convars used in optimizationlock's defaults in case you want to add them manually.
cvarlist.md	Every single convar in the game's code. Not a proper config but instead a reference.

To manually add convars you need to open up gameinfo.gi, ctrl+f convars and paste the commands after the { When adding convars manually make sure to not remove rate { or place them in its bracket, as it will cause the game to not launch

Convars {
