any dev?

Yeah I should have specified, obviously a lot are self explanatory. Thanks for reply.

It's generally a good idea to leave these settings alone, because they are mostly undocumented. The reason they are undocumented is that they may change their meaning or importance at any time, and may become deprecated or be replaced with new settings as the developers see fit and deem necessary. Inevitably, there will be user-written "setting guides" all over the 'net, which contain old and useless information, if there aren't already.

Most of the settings in the file can be changed directly by altering in-game settings, but not all of them. Some may be influenced only by more general categories like overall Graphics Quality. Others are internal settings, dependent on others, or others depending on them. As long as these dependencies are not 100% known, dabbling with them may break more than it does good. A situation may arise when, after a new patch hit, things may break for those who've changed some settings a long time ago and forgotten about them.

That being said, there has been one occasion where, after the implementation of a new graphics feature, it was explicitly stated in the patch notes which entry influences the behavior of the new feature. See the entry for COLOR_CORRECTION in the v1.3.3 patch notes.

SET MouseRawInput 0 or 1 // Reads DPI directly from mouse, skipping Operating System intervention.
SET MouseSensitivityFirstPerson // Mouse sensitivity for first and third person. Best kept at 1.
SET MouseSensitivityThirdPerson // Best to set both to "1.00000000" or at least set both to the same value.
SET MouseSmoothing 0 or 1 // Mouse interpolation. Eliminates jitter if you have any. Best to leave off in most cases as it's a lot less accurate, at least when accuracy is most important like in first person shooters.
SET InvertMouseWheel 0 or 1 // Inverts mouse scroll, up = down. down = up. 0 is enabled.
SET InvertMouseY 0 or 1 // Inverts mouse Y, up = down. down = up. 0 is enabled.
SET InvertMouseX 0 or 1 // Inverts mouse X, left = right, right = left. 0 is enabled.
SET MULTI_GPU_CHECK 0 or 1 // Pre-game check if using multiple graphics cards.
SET DisableFXPrecaching 0 or 1 // Precaching is usually loading things into RAM before they are needed so it doesn't need to be streamed on the fly. Usually done on the load screen. This seems to sometimes break some addons for some reason, which I noticed with Pawkette's Pawksickles font changer.
SET CachedRLREnabled 0 or 1 // This cooks the shaders (shadows) and stores in a cache file so that it never has to cook them again. Load times are super fast afterwards. Delete it and try log in, it will take a long time. It will grow in size as you visit more zones and each time you change your Shadow settings between Low and Ultra. Fresh size is usually 5.7MB and grows to 20-30MB.
SET CachedReflectionResolution // Resolution of reflections. Lower = more pixelated. Usually 2, 4 or 6. Must be set to read-only otherwise game forces 2, 4 or 6 depending on Quality chosen.
SET CachedShadowFiltering // Game seems to ignore it and use shadow setting either way. Tried setting read-only but still seems to be 6 in-game. Cache is same size. Performance is the same.
SET ScreenshotFormat BMP or JPG // Set to JPG to have lower quality screenshots 400-500KB instead of 7MB or whatever bitmap is.
SET PregameGammaCheckEnabled 0 or 1 // The gamma/brightness calibration when you first run the game. Set slider so that the middle icon is barely visible.
SET HardwareCheckEnabled.2 0 or 1 // The hardware check when you first run the game. Auto sets your graphics settings according to your hardware.
SET SUB_SAMPLING 0-2 // * The internal rendering resolution of the game. 2 renders at your chosen resolution. Lower numbers will render at 3/4 and 1/2 of your resolution and then upscale.
SET REFLECTION_QUALITY_v3 0-3 // * Quality of water reflections. Determines cached resolution.
SET PARTICLE_DENSITY 0-3 // * Limit of particles (animated effects such as fire, spells, weather) on-screen.
SET HIGH_RESOLUTION_SHADOWS 0 or 1 // Blob, fuzzy shadows or perfect shapes.
SET SHADOWS 0 to 4 // * Shadow draw distance and quantity drawn. Ultra renders all shadows, up to fog distance, and has zero fade-out on camera pan. High has a limit on shadows drawn and has NASTY fade-out when you pan the camera away from a shadow.
SET GAMMA_ADJUSTMENT "113" // * Gamma adjustment. Default is 113. Calibrate your monitor rather than use the in-game option.
SET VIEW_DISTANCE 0.4 to 2.0 // * Distance at which objects turn from low poly, low resolution to normal.
SET GPUSmoothingFrames 0-10? // Seems to be pre-rendered frames / flip queue size? If it is, it's usually best set to 1 on a single card, minimum of 3 for multi-gpu (crossfire/SLI)
SET MIP_LOAD_SKIP_LEVELS -3 to 3 // * Textures have 6 resolutions, depending on how far away or close you are to the mesh/model. Native/max resolution is -3 (the high resolution you see in NPC conversations). Altering this changes what the base resolution is. High in-game is 0. -2 is recommended for no pop-in.
SET RAIN_WETNESS 0 or 1 // Wetness effect on armour when swimming or in the rain.
SET LENS_FLARE 0 or 1 // Camera lens effect when looking at the sun.
SET GOD_RAYS_v2 0 or 1 // * Rays of light from the sun.
SET ANTI_ALIASING_v2 0 or 1 // * Post-processing Anti-aliasing. Blurs the whole image to reduce aliasing (staircase effect on edges). Seems to be FXAA or SMAA.
SET AMBIENT_OCCLUSION 0 or 1 // * Adds small shadows to everything pretty much. Far bigger image quality impact than the shadow setting and less performance hit.
SET COLOR_GRADING_v1 0 or 1 // Leave at 0. Screen is black at 1.
SET BLOOM 0 or 1 // * Very subtle glow effect on armour. Very noticeable on lava with a thick orange glow (goes through objects lol).
SET DEPTH_OF_FIELD 0 or 1 // * Basically just blurs mountains and anything beyond fog.
SET COLOR_CORRECTION 0 or 1 // On is brighter and bland colours. Off is darker and a lot more saturated. I like it off. If using tonemapping 3 or 5 using ESOMod or ESOLauncher, keep on 1.

SET DIFFUSE_2_MAPS 0 or 1 // The main texture that wraps around the mesh. Expect all models to be pink if set to 0.
SET DETAIL_MAPS 0 or 1 // Tiling textures that add details to walls, buildings, roads, etc. Expect black patches everywhere if set to 0.
SET NORMAL_MAPS 0 or 1 // Fakes lighting on a mesh to give dimension such as bumps and dents. Like turning a completely flat cobblestone road into a bumpy, real looking road. Expect everything to look incredibly flat if set to 0.
SET SPECULAR_MAPS 0 or 1 // Shininess of objects. Expect dull, boring armour and skin if set to 0.

SET FullscreenHeight // * Internal rendering resolution. Doesn't make your monitor operate in this resolution. Easy supersampling/downsampling if you make custom resolutions.
