r.Shaders.SymbolPathOverride

#Overview

name: r.Shaders.SymbolPathOverride

The value of this variable can be defined or overridden in .ini config files. 2 .ini config files referencing this setting variable.

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

• type: Var
• help: Override output location of shader symbols. If the path contains the text \'{Platform}\', that will be replaced with the shader platform string.\nEmpty: use default location Saved/ShaderSymbols/{Platform}\nThis setting can be overriden in any Engine.ini under the [ShaderCompiler] section.

It is referenced in 2 C++ source files.
