Command line parameter[citation needed]
|
- See Command line arguments.
- Set the values to the desired resolution. For example,
/resolution 1920 1080
- This does not appear to work on Steam version of the game. Edit "vidmode.ini". See this post.
-resolution 1920 1080 works on Steam "Set launch options..."
Notes
- The custom resolution will always take precedence and as such it cannot be overridden from the options menu.
- The menus may become messed up or unusable after forcing them to certain resolutions.
|
Set FOV[citation needed]
|
- Download and install UnOfficial v1.3 Patch.
- When you start playing, pause the game and choose Fake Console.
- Set your FOV value and confirm.
- This will result in incomplete first-person models on higher FOV settings.
|
Input settings
- Only two bindings can be assigned to a single command.
