    Yes, they exist, but the commands aren't as general as they might be for some games. Most of our debug controls exist in the UI, but aren't really useful without the server being setup to accept those commands.

    An example of a console command: "viz"
    By itself it does nothing, but "viz gbuffer" or "viz luminance" or "viz wireframe" do do something. You can see examples of what those commands in my post in varrak's Graphics Update V1.2 thread here.

    viz luminance works fine for me. You may have mistyped it, Raevn.

    Oh. I didn't have HDR enabled. I can see why that would make it not work :p
