Titanfall 2 CFG Config File Tutorial (Autoexec)
A config file is used to change little things about your game, like colors, remvong bloom, unlocking fps, using 120fov, special or normal keybinds and more. In this guide I will show you how to set it up.
You can follow the video or the written version bellow. If you run into any issues or have further questions you can join my discord server also linked bellow.

Written version of the Guide
1. Navigate to Titanfall 2 install location
(by default it's C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Titanfall2)
2. From there go to r2/cfg and create a new text file here named autoexec.txt
3. Change the extension of this file to ".cfg"
(resulting is a "autoexec.cfg" file)
(if you don't see file extensions click "View" and check "File name extensions")
4. Open the file
here you can add whatever commands you like, I have compiled some at the end of the description with explanations of what they do.
Commenting
the two slashes "//" are called a comment, anything in a line written behind these will not be executed and is used for descriptions.
5. To make your config active go to origin, right click the game, click game properties then advanced launch options and type "+exec autoexec.cfg"
(you can also do this on Steam or EA app however Origin is prefered for playing Titanfall 2. If you want to know how to install Origin, you can follow my tutorial linked above)
6. Launch game
best way to test if you cfg is working is to have the color changes bound to your function keys, when you press them in a multiplayer menu you will see your game change collors
Naming the exec
you can change the name "autoexec" to whatever you want, just make sure to update that name everywhere
Using multiple configs
you can also use multiple different config files if you wanted to, though you can only run one from advanced launch options so the other would need to be activated from your main cfg. For example with (bind "w" "exec moderngxi.cfg")
Deleting effects of config file
if you put commands that change the visual effects of the game into your cfg it's sometimes not enough to just delete them from the cfg since the effect was already aplied to your video config, if you want to fully revert it navigate to Documents\Respawn\Titanfall2\local and delete the videoconfig.txt file, the game will create a new one with default setting on the next launch, just make sure to change your graphics setting to your preffered ones after that.
Same goes keybinds, even after deletion from your cfg they will stay writen in settings.cfg in the same location. You can find them there and delete individully or also delete the file entirely though that will reset you controlls to default.
Thank you for reading hopefully this guide will help you have a slightly better experience in Titanfall 2. Oh, and it also works for Titanfall 1.
--- Command collection ---
bind "o" "exec autoexec.cfg" //binds "o" to run the exec so you can make changes while the game is running
fps_max "0" //unlocks fps (you can replace "0" with any number)
bind "]" "cl_fovScale 1.7" //120fov
bind "[" "cl_fovScale 1.55" //110fov
mat_disable_bloom "1" //disables bloom, very good
fog_enableskybox "0" //disables skybox fog, only aestetic, depends on preference
//changing colors of the game, feel free to experiment with your own values
mat_sky_color 0 0 0; mat_sun_color 0 0 0 //aplied atomatically (default colors)
bind "F1" "mat_sky_color 0 0 0 0; mat_sun_color 0 0 0 0" //bound to a key (default colors)
bind "F2" "mat_sky_color .9 .8 1; mat_sun_color 0 0 0" //bound to a key (my colors)
//doubletapping "x" to eject at any Titan heath
bind x +quickeject
alias +quickeject "+scriptCommand1;TitanEject1;TitanEject2;TitanEject3;+use;-use;+use"
alias -quickeject "-scriptCommand1;-use"
