[Metro Last Light] Hidden console

Dev Zone Code
1

Hello,

I found something awesome while messing with metro. If you put "C:\Program Files (x86)\Metro Last Light\MetroLL.exe" -dx9 in the target location (properties), it forces the game to use Direct X 9. I wanted to do this because my pc can't handle it on Direct X 11(18 fps on low). When you start the game it starts like normal but after a little while 15 sec. It brings up a menu where you can edit any setting, literally anything in the game and alter it to what you want. It's like a linux console.

I typed in help and got all the commands available.

Here I screencapped everything of the command help.

I don't know if this has been discovered yet.

I am quite tech savvy but this accidental discovery is just way above my head. Maybe you geniuses here can help me out.  

Can this be used for anything in particular other than changing settings?

Thanks!

Can this be used for something like cheats?

well if it only changes the graphical settings no. But you can use cheat engine to spawn in more ammo if needed.

I'm not sure. If does what it says (physics) it might let you mess around abit.
