Field of view (FOV)
- Default field of view is set to 50 degrees vertical (73 degrees horizontal. After some pressure from players 4A Games decided to allow expansion of field of view via config files. [2]
- No native option.
- If you want to move a game's window, suspend the MetroLL.exe, this will allow you to see the title bar and move the game's window. Resume the process afterward. You won't need to suspend process if you'll want to move window again. You must do this each time you start the game. Here is a video demonstrating how to do this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUQRilv9vN8
Force DirectX 9 or 10 renderer on DirectX 11 systems
- Forcing DirectX 9 will result in better performance. However DirectX 11 specific features (tessellation, SSAO) will be disabled. See Port Report article for benchmarking information.
PhysX
- PhysX is enabled by default, even for non-Nvidia cards. Make sure to disable if using a non-Nvidia card.
