| + | {{ii}} This tool includes a button to launch the game (SP or MP) and automatically patch the FOV in one go. As of 2022, this feature no longer works, likely due to changes in the Steam client since IW6 itself has seen no updates since 2018. To work around this, launch Ghosts from Steam, load a mission or join a game, then launch the FOV changer. | ||

Broken Dynamic lights fix
OPEN the config.cfg file located in: \\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Ghosts\players2
Open the file in notepad and search for "r_dlightLimit"
Chances are it'll be listed as r_dlightLimit "0"
Change the the 0 to 4 (for up to 4 dynamic lights, which was the standard/high setting from previous CoDs) and everything should work fine

- This tool includes a button to launch the game (SP or MP) and automatically patch the FOV in one go. As of 2022, this feature no longer works, likely due to changes in the Steam client since IW6 itself has seen no updates since 2018. To work around this, launch Ghosts from Steam, load a mission or join a game, then launch the FOV changer.
