{{ii}} The developer console can be re-enabled by following the [[Engine:Unreal_Engine_4#Re-enable_developer_console|steps on the Unreal Engine 4 page]].

Ultrawide

Instructions[4]
21:9 screenshot with aforementioned fix.
21:9 screenshot with aforementioned fix.
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\CodeVein\Binaries\Win64\
  2. Make a backup copy of CodeVein-Win64-Shipping.exe.
  3. Open the original CodeVein-Win64-Shipping.exe in a hex editor, such as HxD.
  4. Search for F6 41 2C 01 4C, and replace with F6 41 2C 00 4C to remove pillarboxes.
  5. Search for 35 FA 0E 3C A4, and replace with 35 FA 3E 3C A4 to change the Field of view (FOV).
When finding and replacing these hex values, make sure that the find/replace tools are using "Hex-values" mode, and search direction (if using HxD) is set to All (Forward and Backward).

Notes

Centered HUD elements example.
Centered HUD elements example.
The game uses Vert- FOV Scaling, so the vertical of the display is cut to compensate for the wider horizontal aspect ratio. As a result, the FOV value displayed in this fix might not work for wider aspect ratios than 21:9 (e.g: 32:9, or 48:9), and aspect ratios narrower (e.g: 16:9). It is recommended to check the Notes section in WSGF Common Hex Values for instructions on how to get the recommended FOV values for those aspect ratios.
HUD elements are centered on-screen.
The FOV hex edit listed here is designed with Vert- in mind. It's not recommended to combine the value mentioned here (35 FA 3E 3C A4) with the Hor+ FOV scaling tweak.

Multi-monitor

Instructions[5]
48:9 Example with the aforementioned fix.
48:9 Example with the aforementioned fix.
  1. Go to "<path-to-game>\CodeVein\Binaries\Win64".
  2. Make a copy of CodeVein-Win64-Shipping.exe, as a backup.
  3. Open the original CodeVein-Win64-Shipping.exe from "<path-to-game>\CodeVein\Binaries\Win64" in a hex editor, such as HxD.
  4. Search for F6 41 2C 01 4C, and replace with F6 41 2C 00 4C to remove pillarboxes
  5. Search for 35 FA 0E 3C A4, and replace with EF D4 83 3C A4 to change the Field of view (FOV).
When finding and replacing these hex values, make sure that the find/replace tools are using "Hex-values" mode, and search direction (if using HxD) is set to All (Forward and Backward).

Notes

Character Creator 48:9 Example.
Character Creator 48:9 Example.
The game uses Vert- FOV Scaling, so the vertical of the display is cut to compensate for the wider horizontal aspect ratio. As a result, the FOV value displayed in this fix might not work for narrower aspect ratios (e.g: 16:9).
HUD elements are centered on-screen.
Due to the game not supporting an individual camera for each monitor, this may result in Geometry Distortion.
Character Creator only moves to the edge of what would be an 16:9 area.
The FOV hex edit listed here is designed with Vert- in mind. It's not recommended to combine the value mentioned here (EF D4 83 3C A4) with the Hor+ FOV Scaling tweak.

Hor+ FOV

Instructions[6]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini.
  3. At the bottom of the file, add [/Script/Engine.LocalPlayer].
  4. Below that line, add AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV.
This will cause the Field of view (FOV) to be wider (Since the game is still using a Vert- FOV that hasn't been converted to Hor+), and may look distorted as a result. It is recommended to modify the FOV using the Hex-editing method in Ultrawide, and by checking the Notes section in WSGF Common Hex Values for instructions on how to get desired FOV values.
Don't use in conjunction with the Ultrawide or Multimonitor fixes unless the FOV hex values get changed to something Hor+ compliant.

Anisotropic filtering (AF)

Instructions
  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=xx, replacing the "xx" with the desired Anisotropic Filtering mode (0= Disabled, 2= 2X Aniso, 4= 4X Aniso, 8= 8X Aniso, 16= 16X Aniso).
Doing this method is required to change Texture Filtering quality, as there are no in-game options for it, and it is dependent on the in-game "Texture Quality" option (or sg.TextureQuality= setting in the GameUserSettings.ini config file).

Render Percentage/Resolution Scaling

Instructions[7]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open GameUserSettings.ini.
  3. Below [ScalabilityGroups], change sg.ResolutionQuality=xx, to the desired resolution percentage.
This option allows for upscaling/upsampling from smaller resolutions while running UI elements at the native screen resolution, which might be helpful for lower-end configurations.
The minimum that sg.ResolutionQuality= will go is "33.333302". Anything above "100" (Which could be used for Downsampling) oddly doesn't work.
In order to downsample, use r.ScreenPercentage and attach it to a [SystemSettings] section inside Engine.ini This is the only method besides TAA to fight shader aliasing caused by rim lighting effect.

Chromatic aberration

Disable chromatic aberration
  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.SceneColorFringeQuality=0.
  5. Save the file.
