Game data
- Although configuration files are in plain text, there is a base-64 encoded section for user key mappings which prevents create custom commands. When decoded, the section contains a number of strings corresponding to command names from the .ini files, and approximately 300 or so bytes of binary data of unknown purpose.
Video settings
Field of view (FOV)
- There is a FOV slider in the game options, however it only increases/decreases FOV by 15% from the default value of 70º (59,5º - 80,5º).

Issues unresolved
Freezing and crashing
There seems to be a problem on some systems that game crashes every few minutes and/or freezes whole system[4][5].
One method to mitigate stuttering is to navigate to (My) Documents\my games\BioShock Infinite\XGame\Config
and open XEngine.ini
. Search the file for PoolSize
and increase the value (640 would be a good starting point).
Issues fixed
