edit "C:\Program Files (x86)\Funcom\Secret World Legends\Data\Gui\Default\Views\MainMenu\Window.xml"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<!-- $Change: 600955 $ (must be within the first 200 characters of the file) -->
<Root fadein_duration = "0"
fadeout_duration = "0"
viewslide_duration = "0"
viewfade_duration = "0"

/>
and make the file read-only.
then delete "C:\Program Files (x86)\Funcom\Secret World Legends\Data\Gui\Default\Views\MainMenu\Window.bxml"
edit "C:\Program Files (x86)\Funcom\Secret World Legends\Data\Gui\Default\Views\MainMenu\Options.xml"
search for the line "gmlevel=-1" and remove it so the line becomes
<OptionSubGroup title="<localized token=MainMenu_Options_Debug />">
and make it read-only
then delete "C:\Program Files (x86)\Funcom\Secret World Legends\Data\Gui\Default\Views\MainMenu\Options.bxml"
(the .bxml files are generated after the .xml files are read. That's why, after the edit it is good to let it actualize it directly. At least many of the edits I did in the .xml only took place after I deleted the .bxml file of the same name before the extension-type. So, that might be the reason why!)

The only application needed to set to the compatability-mode settings listed below is ClientPatcher.exe,
unless you're starting it from a shortcut then on it's file properties those must be set too for being safe:
Rightclick on "ClientPatcher.exe"
Click Send To and Create shortcut (to desktop)
Rightclick on it there and open Properties
Set Advanced => "Run as administrator"
Set Run: "Maximized"
Click on Apply
stay there
Go to Compatability tab rightern of the opn Shortcut tab.
CHANGE SETTINGS FOR ALL USERS
It's absolutely required that the game gets initialized/started by using then either the shortcut or the ClientPatcher.exe itself.
If you're starting it from Steam, or an other .exe like PatcherSetup.exe, then it won't work unless you set there the settings too.
If you initialize SWL by ClientPatcher.exe, all settings of compatability-mode and such will be taken-over to the starting SecretWorldLegends.exe / SecretWorldLegendsDX11.exe -, that is why!

InGame modding..., the dedicated mySWL! :O
... mods must be put as unpacked folders with ONLY the files of the mod inside into:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Funcom\Secret World Legends\Data\Gui\Custom\Flash"
... for example:
if it's the mod "CLICKABLE NAMETAGS" then install it this way...
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Funcom\Secret World Legends\Data\Gui\Custom\Flash\ClickableNametags\CharPrefs.bxml"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Funcom\Secret World Legends\Data\Gui\Custom\Flash\ClickableNametags\CharPrefs.xml"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Funcom\Secret World Legends\Data\Gui\Custom\Flash\ClickableNametags\ClickableNametags.swf"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Funcom\Secret World Legends\Data\Gui\Custom\Flash\ClickableNametags\Modules.bxml"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Funcom\Secret World Legends\Data\Gui\Custom\Flash\ClickableNametags\Modules.xml"
... In the downloaded package of clickable nametags was just a folder with those five files, but if the folder was into a folder and then the five files were inside... then DONT copy it this way into the Flash folder. It must ALWAYS be ONE FOLDER with FILES DIRECTLY INSIDE. Yes, there's mod authors that pack a folder into the zipped/packed folder in where the folder is a new folder with the files..., silly. Won't make the mod work.
Additionally, be aware that it is possible to edit the files. The mod Meeehrpack has AutoSprint.swf and AutoPet.swf inside... if you DELETE or... simply take the AutoPet.swf out of the mod and just put the other files into the Flash Meeehrpack folder, AutoSprint.swf will work coz it is inside but AutoPet.swf will not be used. I personally recommend removing/deleting AutoPet.swf coz it likes to make trouble or annoyance sometimes.

"/chat join Sanctuary" "/chat beitreten Sanctuary" "/chat jouer... ? Sanctuary" and explaining the VFE-fix. Furthermore, Chat Fonts maybe but uhm... shortcuts CTRL + SHIFT + F1, the reload of text by ON/OFF channel and probably TaskManager Priority High, Discord High Priority / Overlay / Hardware Acceleration differences and impact of Reduced Motion and Sync To Computer... i already see it's too much for today. Yeah.
how do you copy the chat?
/setoption ScreenBrightness 1
/setoption ScreenContrast 1
/setoption ScreenGamma 1
/setoption RenderSetting_ViewDistance -1
/chat join Event
/chat join Sanctuary
/reloadui
/(set)option(einstellen) ScreenContrast 1.25 eliminates graytones/fog
/(set)option(einstellen) RenderSetting_ViewDistance -1 enhances depth-clarity... pictures will be shown soon. It can only be reverted by ... well, for sure a SWL restart. IDC right now.
/(set)option(einstellen) SplashScreenFadeInTime 0 ... tis the teleportation UI fade in time... means: how fast you see NOT ONLY YOUR REALTIME VIDEO... uhm... when you press CTRL + Y or CTRL + Z you see the video without ui... yes... how fast this goes active when you zone. The Opposite is to the Fade Out time. I recommend both at 0, work great. It lags shortly. Some say the lag is gone if it is 0.025 or 0.25 as DON'T MAKE ME WAIT MOD do, but... ... i don't care. Try yourself. Too unfocussed now to check. This is a sudden changelog. To be checked.

! => This fixes Windows Defender fake-alert
mentioned in forums.funcom.com/t/trojan-horse-virus-found-in-swl-patch-from-steam-and-during-installation-using-install-file-from-swl-website/156537/36 but it's up to you how much you want to exclude.
Just for fixing the game exclude your Funcom folder e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Funcom" or if you use Steam your "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common" folder, OR if using an extern disk the SteamLibrary folder there e.g. "D:\SteamLibrary".
