This article has a talk page!This is a sub-page of Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric.
The following comments can be found in system.cfg in the game's root. Many of the comments have mentions of various consoles such as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, suggesting that these comments were written during the game's original period of development on PC, before Sega agreed to make it a Wii U exclusive.

r_DepthOfField = 0 -- no longer a necessary step in HDR Post Process...blooms and tonemapping should work without dof or blur (auto-disabled in split screen)
r_WaterReflectionsQuality = 3 -- this is slow, but not slower than rendering to DRC (so reflections now get disabled in split mode)

e_WaterOceanBottom = 0 -- saves up to 1.259ms per frame ( and I don't think we often have opaque objects intersecting z = 0 when we use the ocean )
...
e_WaterTessellationAmountY = 6 -- reducing the tessellation since noticing that ocean rendering errors only seem to occur in higher vertex indices...plus there's something nice about nearly square grids(Source: Original TCRF research)
