Star Citizen Configuration
The configuration for Star Citizen Gameplay Mechanics is handled with the Options Menu that is available immediately after launching the game or by pressing the 'Esc' key while playing the game. The format of the menu has been evolving over time as new features and systems are brought online within the game. The options normally don't need to be adjusted once set to work most effectively with your game playing style.
Option Groups
Star Citizen Options are broken down into 6 major groups:
GAME SETTINGS - Where general game mechanics configurations are found
GRAPHICS - Where all video size and resolution parameters are setup
AUDIO - Music, Speech, and Sound Effects settings
CONTROLS - Inversion, Sensitivity, and Special adjustment to controllers
KEYBINDINGS - Mapping of controllers to various commands and actions within the game
COMM SETTINGS - Configuration for Face Over IP service feature
Configuration Details
For each group of options, several bits of information are available:
IN - What version of the game was the option introduced
OUT - What version of the game the option was removed
GAME SETTING - The name of the individual game configuration setting
DEFAULT - The value of the setting pre-assigned by default
