# Download, install and run [https://cheatengine.org/ Cheat Engine].
 +
# Run the game and start a map.
 +
# Add the ''Lost Planet 2'' process to ''Cheat Engine''.
 +
# Scan for a float value of 45.
 +
# Go back to game, zoom in with any standard weapon, then go back to ''Cheat Engine'' and scan for a float value of 28.
 +
#* (for Episode 2 - Chapter 2 - Area 2 the values are 50 and 30)
 +
#* (for Episode 3 - Chapter 3 - Area 1 the values are 40 and 26)
 +
# The third found address controls the default view FOV (when not zooming in). Add it to address list and set a hotkey to change the value while in game.
 +
 
 +
'''Notes'''
 +
{{--}} Usually the address will change when a new area is loaded, so the scans will have to be repeated. Game will reset to original FOV value when zooming in, entering and exiting a VS, sprinting and dying, so using a hotkey is recommended.
 +
{{--}} The FOV will "jump" to lower value when looking high up if the FOV value is above 60, it will also "jump" when looking down if FOV value is above 52. To avoid this use a maximum value of 52 while on foot and 40 when inside a VS.
 +
{{--}} This will not have effect when inside stationary VS or helicopter.

Field of view (FOV)

Instructions[4]
  1. Download, install and run Cheat Engine.
  2. Run the game and start a map.
  3. Add the Lost Planet 2 process to Cheat Engine.
  4. Scan for a float value of 45.
  5. Go back to game, zoom in with any standard weapon, then go back to Cheat Engine and scan for a float value of 28.
    • (for Episode 2 - Chapter 2 - Area 2 the values are 50 and 30)
    • (for Episode 3 - Chapter 3 - Area 1 the values are 40 and 26)
  6. The third found address controls the default view FOV (when not zooming in). Add it to address list and set a hotkey to change the value while in game.

Notes

Usually the address will change when a new area is loaded, so the scans will have to be repeated. Game will reset to original FOV value when zooming in, entering and exiting a VS, sprinting and dying, so using a hotkey is recommended.
The FOV will "jump" to lower value when looking high up if the FOV value is above 60, it will also "jump" when looking down if FOV value is above 52. To avoid this use a maximum value of 52 while on foot and 40 when inside a VS.
This will not have effect when inside stationary VS or helicopter.

Borderless fullscreen windowed

Force borderless fullscreen[citation needed]
  1. Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide.
  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\dxgi.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\LP2DX11.exe\SpecialK.ini, depending on the installation method used.
    • The DirectX 9 version uses <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or \LP2DX9.exe\SpecialK.ini.
  4. Set ForceWindowed=true under [Display.Output].
  5. Set Borderless=true and Fullscreen=true under [Window.System].
  6. Set OverrideRes=0x0 to the resolution of your screen (e.g. OverrideRes=1920x1080).

Notes

The game will minimize to taskbar when pressing Alt+Tab ↹.
