Video
- This game uses vertical FOV. See FOV Calculator for help.
- FOV can be increased to 85 before severe recoil problems kick in (as mentioned below).
- FOV above 85 will cause the hip fire recoil problems, along with causing the first aimed shot to always miss.
- Field of View value is tied to how the game calculates hip fire recoil. Setting FOV too high will cause drastically increased recoil, as indicated by an expanded crosshair.[4]
Edit default_levels.xml[5]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\DI\
- Open
Data0.pak with 7-Zip.
- Inside
Data0.pak navigate to data\skills and open default_levels.xml .
- Find
CameraDefaultFOV and replace 62.5 with your desired FOV.
- Save. If 7-Zip asks if you want to update the file in the archive click Yes.
|
Use Borderless Gaming[6]
