Cyber Engine Tweaks vs Venice Unleashed

Cyber Engine Tweaks is a free framework for scripting mods for Cyberpunk 2077 with Lua and access to internal game scripting features. It includes a Dear ImGui interface for mods, a console and a TweakDB editor, along with developer options such as diagnostics, assertions, a debug menu and logging game options. Included patches can be enabled or disabled through settings or configuration files, though changes require restarting the game. Examples include removing pedestrians and traffic, disabling temporal antialiasing, suppressing intro movies and skipping the start menu. RED4ext is a prerequisite. The project distributes current releases through GitHub Releases and provides wiki documentation for installation, usage and modding. Windows is supported; Linux instructions cover use through Proton, including Steam and non-Steam/Wine setups. Release notes for Patch 2.31 list support for game version 2.31. The repository includes an MIT license permitting use, modification and distribution subject to its conditions, and provides the software without warranty.

Venice Unleashed is a free community modding and improvement framework for Battlefield 3. It supports gameplay adjustments, new game modes, and new maps, with a spectating system for filming or competitions. Players can host private dedicated servers on their own machines and configure 60Hz or 120Hz tickrates. Other settings include suppression tuning and disabling the blue tint. Using the framework requires a legitimate, licensed, up-to-date Battlefield 3 installation; servers running downloadable-content material also require that DLC. At first login, users create a VU account and link an Origin account for ownership verification. VU runs separately from vanilla Battlefield 3, uses its own servers, and does not modify game files. Profiles are separate from Battlelog, and progression does not carry over because everything is unlocked by default. The client targets Windows, while Linux dedicated servers can run through Wine.
