Contains global variables accessible from everywhere.
Contains global variables accessible from everywhere. Use [method get_setting], [method set_setting] or [method has_setting] to access them. Variables stored in [code]project.godot[/code] are also loaded into ProjectSettings, making this object very useful for reading custom game configuration options.
When naming a Project Settings property, use the full path to the setting including the category. For example, [code]"application/config/name"[/code] for the project name. Category and property names can be viewed in the Project Settings dialog.
[b]Overriding:[/b] Any project setting can be overridden by creating a file named [code]override.cfg[/code] in the project's root directory. This can also be used in exported projects by placing this file in the same directory as the project binary.
Adds a custom property info to a property. The dictionary must contain:
- [code]name[/code]: [String] (the property's name)
- [code]type[/code]: [int] (see [enum Variant.Type])

[b]Example:[/b]
[codeblock]
ProjectSettings.set("category/property_name", 0)
var property_info = {
"name": "category/property_name",
"type": TYPE_INT,
"hint": PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM,
"hint_string": "one,two,three"
}
ProjectSettings.add_property_info(property_info)
[/codeblock]

This user directory is used for storing persistent data ([code]user://[/code] filesystem). If left empty, [code]user://[/code] resolves to a project-specific folder in Godot's own configuration folder (see [method OS.get_user_data_dir]). If a custom directory name is defined, this name will be used instead and appended to the system-specific user data directory (same parent folder as the Godot configuration folder documented in [method OS.get_user_data_dir]).
The [member application/config/use_custom_user_dir] setting must be enabled for this to take effect.
The project's description, displayed as a tooltip in the Project Manager when hovering the project.
Icon used for the project, set when project loads. Exporters will also use this icon when possible.
Icon set in [code].icns[/code] format used on macOS to set the game's icon. This is done automatically on start by calling [method DisplayServer.set_native_icon].

Specifies a file to override project settings. For example: [code]user://custom_settings.cfg[/code].
[b]Note:[/b] Regardless of this setting's value, [code]res://override.cfg[/code] will still be read to override the project settings (see this class' description at the top).
If [code]true[/code], the project will save user data to its own user directory (see [member application/config/custom_user_dir_name]). This setting is only effective on desktop platforms. A name must be set in the [member application/config/custom_user_dir_name] setting for this to take effect. If [code]false[/code], the project will save user data to [code](OS user data directory)/Godot/app_userdata/(project name)[/code].

Default [AudioBusLayout] resource file to use in the project, unless overridden by the scene.
Specifies the audio driver to use. This setting is platform-dependent as each platform supports different audio drivers. If left empty, the default audio driver will be used.
If [code]true[/code], microphone input will be allowed. This requires appropriate permissions to be set when exporting to Android or iOS.
Mixing rate used for audio. In general, it's better to not touch this and leave it to the host operating system.
Output latency in milliseconds for audio. Lower values will result in lower audio latency at the cost of increased CPU usage. Low values may result in audible cracking on slower hardware.
Setting to hardcode audio delay when playing video. Best to leave this untouched unless you know what you are doing.
The default compression level for gzip. Affects compressed scenes and resources. Higher levels result in smaller files at the cost of compression speed. Decompression speed is mostly unaffected by the compression level. [code]-1[/code] uses the default gzip compression level, which is identical to [code]6[/code] but could change in the future due to underlying zlib updates.
The default compression level for Zlib. Affects compressed scenes and resources. Higher levels result in smaller files at the cost of compression speed. Decompression speed is mostly unaffected by the compression level. [code]-1[/code] uses the default gzip compression level, which is identical to [code]6[/code] but could change in the future due to underlying zlib updates.

Message to be displayed before the backtrace when the engine crashes.
Maximum number of frames per second allowed. The actual number of frames per second may still be below this value if the game is lagging.
If [member display/window/vsync/use_vsync] is enabled, it takes precedence and the forced FPS number cannot exceed the monitor's refresh rate.
This setting is therefore mostly relevant for lowering the maximum FPS below VSync, e.g. to perform non real-time rendering of static frames, or test the project under lag conditions.
Maximum call stack allowed for debugging GDScript.

If greater than zero, overrides the window width when running the game. Useful for testing stretch modes.
Sets the game's main viewport width. On desktop platforms, this is the default window size. Stretch mode settings also use this as a reference when enabled.
If [code]true[/code], enables vertical synchronization. This eliminates tearing that may appear in moving scenes, at the cost of higher input latency and stuttering at lower framerates. If [code]false[/code], vertical synchronization will be disabled, however, many platforms will enforce it regardless (such as mobile platforms and HTML5).
If [code]Use Vsync[/code] is enabled and this setting is [code]true[/code], enables vertical synchronization via the operating system's window compositor when in windowed mode and the compositor is enabled. This will prevent stutter in certain situations. (Windows only.)
[b]Note:[/b] This option is experimental and meant to alleviate stutter experienced by some users. However, some users have experienced a Vsync framerate halving (e.g. from 60 FPS to 30 FPS) when using it.
Search path for project-specific script templates. Script templates will be search both in the editor-specific path and in this project-specific path.

Default background clear color. Overridable per [Viewport] using its [Environment]. See [member Environment.background_mode] and [member Environment.background_color] in particular. To change this default color programmatically, use [method RenderingServer.set_default_clear_color].
[Environment] that will be used as a fallback environment in case a scene does not specify its own environment. The default environment is loaded in at scene load time regardless of whether you have set an environment or not. If you do not rely on the fallback environment, it is best to delete [code]default_env.tres[/code], or to specify a different default environment here.
Max amount of elements renderable in a frame. If more than this are visible per frame, they will be dropped. Keep in mind elements refer to mesh surfaces and not meshes themselves.
Some NVIDIA GPU drivers have a bug which produces flickering issues for the [code]draw_rect[/code] method, especially as used in [TileMap]. Refer to [url=https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/9913]GitHub issue 9913[/url] for details.
If [code]true[/code], this option enables a "safe" code path for such NVIDIA GPUs at the cost of performance. This option only impacts the GLES2 rendering backend, and only desktop platforms. It is not necessary when using the Vulkan backend.
If [code]true[/code], forces snapping of polygons to pixels in 2D rendering. May help in some pixel art styles.
Sets the quality of the depth of field effect. Higher quality takes more samples, which is slower but looks smoother.
Sets the depth of field shape. Can be Box, Hexagon, or Circle. Box is the fastest. Circle is the most realistic, but also the most expensive to compute.
If [code]true[/code], jitters DOF samples to make effect slightly blurrier and hide lines created from low sample rates. This can result in a slightly grainy appearance when used with a low number of samples.
Disables depth pre-pass for some GPU vendors (usually mobile), as their architecture already does this.
If [code]true[/code], performs a previous depth pass before rendering materials. This increases performance in scenes with high overdraw, when complex materials and lighting are used.
The directional shadow's size in pixels. Higher values will result in sharper shadows, at the cost of performance. The value will be rounded up to the nearest power of 2.
Lower-end override for [member rendering/quality/directional_shadow/size] on mobile devices, due to performance concerns or driver support.
Quality setting for shadows cast by [DirectionalLight3D]s. Higher quality settings use more samples when reading from shadow maps and are thus slower. Low quality settings may result in shadows looking grainy.
Lower-end override for [member rendering/quality/directional_shadow/soft_shadow_quality] on mobile devices, due to performance concerns or driver support.
The video driver to use ("GLES2" or "Vulkan").
[b]Note:[/b] The backend in use can be overridden at runtime via the [code]--rendering-driver[/code] command line argument.
[b]FIXME:[/b] No longer valid after DisplayServer split:
In such cases, this property is not updated, so use [code]OS.get_current_video_driver[/code] to query it at run-time.
If [code]true[/code], take additional samples when rendering objects affected by a [GIProbe] to reduce artifacts from only sampling in one direction.
Sets the number of cone samples taken when rendering objects affected by [GIProbe]s.
Sets how the glow effect is upscaled before being copied onto the screen. Linear is faster, but looks blocky. Bicubic is slower but looks smooth.
Lower-end override for [member rendering/quality/glow/upscale_mode] on mobile devices, due to performance concerns or driver support.
Strategy used for framebuffer allocation. The simpler it is, the less resources it uses (but the less features it supports). If set to "2D Without Sampling" or "3D Without Effects", sample buffers will not be allocated. This means [code]SCREEN_TEXTURE[/code] and [code]DEPTH_TEXTURE[/code] will not be available in shaders and post-processing effects will not be available in the [Environment].
Lower-end override for [member rendering/quality/intended_usage/framebuffer_allocation] on mobile devices, due to performance concerns or driver support.
Number of cubemaps to store in the reflection atlas. The number of [ReflectionProbe]s in a scene will be limited by this amount. A higher number requires more VRAM.
Size of cubemap faces for [ReflectionProbe]s. A higher number requires more VRAM and may make reflection probe updating slower.
Lower-end override for [member rendering/quality/reflection_atlas/reflection_size] on mobile devices, due to performance concerns or driver support.
Use a higher quality variant of the fast filtering algorithm. Significantly slower than using default quality, but results in smoother reflections. Should only be used when the scene is especially detailed.
Sets the number of samples to take when using importance sampling for [Sky]s and [ReflectionProbe]s. A higher value will result in smoother, higher quality reflections, but increases time to calculate radiance maps. In general, fewer samples are needed for simpler, low dynamic range environments while more samples are needed for HDR environments and environments with a high level of detail.
Lower-end override for [member rendering/quality/reflections/ggx_samples] on mobile devices, due to performance concerns or driver support.
Limits the number of layers to use in radiance maps when using importance sampling. A lower number will be slightly faster and take up less VRAM.
If [code]true[/code], uses texture arrays instead of mipmaps for reflection probes and panorama backgrounds (sky). This reduces jitter noise and upscaling artifacts on reflections, but is significantly slower to compute and uses [member rendering/quality/reflections/roughness_layers] times more memory.
Lower-end override for [member rendering/quality/reflections/texture_array_reflections] on mobile devices, due to performance concerns or driver support.
Sets the number of MSAA samples to use (as a power of two). MSAA is used to reduce aliasing around the edges of polygons. A higher MSAA value results in smoother edges but can be significantly slower on some hardware.
[b]Note:[/b] MSAA is not available on HTML5 export using the GLES2 backend.
Sets the screen-space antialiasing mode for the default screen [Viewport]. Screen-space antialiasing works by selectively blurring edges in a post-process shader. It differs from MSAA which takes multiple coverage samples while rendering objects. Screen-space AA methods are typically faster than MSAA and will smooth out specular aliasing, but tend to make scenes appear blurry.
Another way to combat specular aliasing is to enable [member rendering/quality/screen_filters/screen_space_roughness_limiter].
Enables the screen-space roughness limiter which increases material roughness in areas with a high normal frequency (i.e. when normals change a lot from pixel to pixel). This helps to reduce the amount of specular aliasing in a scene. Specular aliasing looks like random bright pixels that occur in reflections.
Curves the amount of the roughness limited effect. A higher value limits the effect to very sharply curved surfaces, while a lower threshold extends the effect to smoother surfaces.
Sets the quality for rough screen-space reflections. Turning off will make all screen space reflections sharp, while higher values make rough reflections look better.
If [code]true[/code], uses faster but lower-quality Blinn model to generate blurred reflections instead of the GGX model.
Lower-end override for [member rendering/quality/shading/force_blinn_over_ggx] on mobile devices, due to performance concerns or driver support.
If [code]true[/code], uses faster but lower-quality Lambert material lighting model instead of Burley.
Lower-end override for [member rendering/quality/shading/force_lambert_over_burley] on mobile devices, due to performance concerns or driver support.
If [code]true[/code], forces vertex shading for all rendering. This can increase performance a lot, but also reduces quality immensely. Can be used to optimize performance on low-end mobile devices.
Lower-end override for [member rendering/quality/shading/force_vertex_shading] on mobile devices, due to performance concerns or driver support.

Lower-end override for [member rendering/quality/shadow_atlas/size] on mobile devices, due to performance concerns or driver support.
Quality setting for shadows cast by [OmniLight3D]s and [SpotLight3D]s. Higher quality settings use more samples when reading from shadow maps and are thus slower. Low quality settings may result in shadows looking grainy.
Lower-end override for [member rendering/quality/shadows/soft_shadow_quality] on mobile devices, due to performance concerns or driver support.
If [code]true[/code], screen-space ambient occlusion will be rendered at half size and then upscaled before being added to the scene. This is significantly faster but may miss small details.
Sets the quality of the screen-space ambient occlusion effect. Higher values take more samples and so will result in better quality, at the cost of performance.
Scales the depth over which the subsurface scattering effect is applied. A high value may allow light to scatter into a part of the mesh or another mesh that is close in screen space but far in depth.
Sets the quality of the subsurface scattering effect. Higher values are slower but look nicer.
Scales the distance over which samples are taken for subsurface scattering effect. Changing this does not impact performance, but higher values will result in significant artifacts as the samples will become obviously spread out. A lower value results in a smaller spread of scattered light.
Sets the maximum number of samples to take when using anisotropic filtering on textures (as a power of two). A higher sample count will result in sharper textures at oblique angles, but is more expensive to compute. A value of [code]0[/code] forcibly disables anisotropic filtering, even on materials where it is enabled.
If [code]true[/code], uses nearest-neighbor mipmap filtering when using mipmaps (also called "bilinear filtering"), which will result in visible seams appearing between mipmap stages. This may increase performance in mobile as less memory bandwidth is used. If [code]false[/code], linear mipmap filtering (also called "trilinear filtering") is used.
Thread model for rendering. Rendering on a thread can vastly improve performance, but synchronizing to the main thread can cause a bit more jitter.
