r.Shaders.ExtraData

#Overview

name: r.Shaders.ExtraData

This variable is created as a Console Variable (cvar).

• type: Var
• help: Enables generation of extra shader data that can be used at runtime. This includes shader names and other platform specific data.\nThis can add bloat to compiled shaders and can prevent shaders from being deduplicated.\nThis setting can be overriden in any Engine.ini under the [ShaderCompiler] section.

It is referenced in 2 C++ source files.
