What We Do

A bad interface for a good system.

The Unreal console is one of the most powerful tools in the editor. It is also one of the worst places to work.

You type a command. You forget the name. You apply three cvars to calm Lumen, then you cannot remember which ones. The viewport looks wrong and you have no idea whether the engine even accepted the last line. That is not a skill issue. That is a bad interface for a good system.

Console Blast is the interface. A dockable board of one-click recipes, grouped by the problem in front of you — the editor is slow, the GI is noisy, the shadows crawl, Nanite pops, bloom is too much. Each click applies a known recipe. The next click puts the previous values back.

Hours in Unreal are lost in repetition: the same five commands, every session, every level. Console Blast turns that ritual into a click, and the click into a button you designed yourself.

The Problem
You Forget The Name
The command that fixed it last month is gone. You search a forum thread from 2019, paste a line, and hope. Console Blast remembers instead of you.
The Approach
Named After The Symptom
Search for flicker, lag, stat or nanite — not for the exact cvar path. Columns for Rendering, Debug, Lighting, Performance and Virtual Production, plus a Custom column that belongs to you.
The Outcome
The Board Is Honest
If Unreal blocks a change, the button does not pretend. If only half the recipe stuck, you see a dashed edge. If something else owns the cvar, the tooltip names the owner.

What It Does

Click. Restore. Build your own.

A new button is a title, an On list, and an optional Off list. Paste a command or pick from the engine's own list, filtered to the column you are in. Tag it so search finds it when you type "flicker" instead of the exact cvar path. Mark it with a quiet colour so it is not lost in a stack of grey.

🟩
Green Means It Landed
A green edge means the engine accepted the whole recipe. A dashed green edge means only part of it did. Amber means Unreal ignored it — read-only, overridden, needs a restart — and the tooltip says which.
↩
Every Click Is Reversible
Each button captures what the engine looked like before you pressed it. Clicking again puts those exact values back — not the engine default, not zero. You are toggling a known state, not fighting the console.
🔎
Every Command In Your Engine
The picker reads your live console registry — thousands of cvars, plus every show flag and view mode. It shows each one's current value and warns you when a command needs a restart.
What You Get

Everything the console should have been

01
🎛️
66 Ready-Made Recipes
Curated columns for Rendering, Debug, Lighting, Performance and Virtual Production — plus an empty Custom column for your studio's own board. Drag buttons between columns, rename anything, collapse a column to a letter when you need the room.
02
✏️
Buttons You Design
Add one from a cvar, a raw exec, or the command picker. Edit Command sets the title, tooltip, tags, On / Off lines and colour mark. Value chip on single-number recipes, with a slider where the range makes sense. Export and import the whole board as JSON.
03
📋
Know What Changed
Changed lists the cvars that are no longer at engine default, with your own edits at the top and a one-click revert on each row. Reset All is a true factory reset. Keep after restart is optional, and writes to DefaultEngine.ini so your team sees it in source control.
Who It Is For

Stop typing the same line again.

Lighting and rendering artists who live in the viewport. Technical artists who already know the cvars. Anyone who has typed the same stat line two hundred times and is done with it. Editor-only, Unreal Engine 5.5–5.8, no engine source changes.
