Video settings
Field of view (FOV)
Command camera_zoom_out
increases FOV. Sadly however it also introduces glitches such as invisible weapon models and clipping through walls. Apparently it doesn't increase the FOV, just moves the camera backward.
The player's FOV can be changed by editing this line in You Are Empty\gameres\scripts\you_are_empty\scripts_you_are_empty.pak\prototypes\actors\actor_player\actor_player_design.lua:
"{ "view_fov", 90 },",
(The game's .pak archives are actually using zip format and can be opened with any archiver which supports it.)

Some onscreen effects obscure player's vision
When the player is picking up an item or taking damage the screen flashes for a brief period, completely obscuring player's vision. To clear this error you must have a NVIDIA, GT or GTX Card.. it some animation effect supported only by this cards...
Issues fixed
Intro videos and cutscenes do not work
Player get error upon launching the game: play_video: Material 'avi_logo' is not defines AVI-texture. Video cannot be played.
