Revision as of 03:56, 31 July 2021 by Rose (talk | contribs) (→‎Video: FOV section with a fixbox intended mostly for ultrawide users; changing the ultrawide note to no longer suggest that the FOV slider helps, as it has no effect on the cutscenes, and the maximum of 120 horizontal FOV is enough only for 21:9)

Field of view (FOV)

Edit a config file to force the game to maintain its vertical FOV at any aspect ratio[5]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini in a text editor.
  3. Add the following lines:
[/Script/Engine.LocalPlayer]
AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV
Addresses the issues of Vert- scaling of cutscenes and overall view affecting 21:9 and wider resolutions.

Anisotropic filtering (AF)

Add custom AF variable to Engine.ini
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini with a text editor.
  3. Add [SystemSettings] to the bottom of the file, if that section doesn't already exist.
  4. Inside that section, add r.MaxAnisotropy=16 or the desired sample rate.

    "Many of you complain about the lack of VO in the game, which for financial reasons we are not recording right now. So we've added a system that replaces all missing VOs with a suitably processed and personalized voice creation, so that the dialogues are at least reasonably indicated. For people who do not speak Russian, at the same time using Russian VOs for the "climate" should be a quite optimal solution. The system can be turned off in options."
