FOV is Ver+ so playing at higher aspect ratios makes it very hard to see the bottom of the character, and can hide it almost completely in some menu screens.[citation needed] |
||
4K Ultra HD | While fullscreen the user can pick any resolution supported by their display driver, all modes default to the monitors native resolution. | ||
Field of view (FOV) | 80° to 110°. | ||

High dynamic range display (HDR) | Cannot be enabled through in-game menu. See HDR. | ||
Color blind mode | Deuteranomaly, Protanomaly, and Tritanope settings with "Severity" slider that changes the intensity of the filter. |
- The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 4 page for more details.
High dynamic range (HDR)
