r.Shaders.ExtraData is a console variable in Unreal Engine 5 (UE5). See what r.Shaders.ExtraData does, its values, and how to use this cvar in the Unreal console below.

Category: Renderer · Namespace: r

Help

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

Usage

Unreal console (open with ~)
> r.Shaders.ExtraData 1

Console variables take a value. Replace 1 with the setting you need. Run it with no value to print the current one.
