That wasn't the question. Matt recently rebalanced/redesigned the encumbrance mult to somewhat arbitrarily limit the amount of stuff you can carry the lower it is. Meaning that at 0.5 you can't carry twice as many weapons or ammo of the same type, but you can carry a wider variety of those. If on 1.0 you can normally carry a Hunter, a Liberator, and a BFG with some ammo without going into snail speeds, on 0.5 you could probably add a vulc and a rocket launcher as well, but you can only carry about 1 of each, as the number of max spare weapons is reduced. Same with ammo. You are only allowed to carry fewer mags of each type, but you can carry more types overall.
This is now called "low encumbrance mode" and the user is likely asking how to turn it off (thus revert to old behaviour), not knowing that it's directly tied to encumbrance and is non-negotiable.
The change was met with heavy criticism by fans of lower encumbrance, but I can understand the need for these changes. There are addons that kind of work around the hoarding limitations if one really feels the need to become Ivan and carry the entire Russian military hardware in their pocket. Like me.
