Field of view (FOV)

Use DLL injection with Cheat Engine^{[citation needed]}
Download Hattiwatti's DLL - works with patch 1.2^[7] (exe v1.75.0.7) and patch 1.3 (exe v1.75.0.12). Download and install Cheat Engine. Once you have started the game, use the button at the left top in the Cheat Engine window to open the process selector and choose "Dishonored2.exe". Open the "Memory View" window with the button on the left. Select "Inject DLL" in the menu "Tools", then select the DLL file you unpacked from the ZIP. Confirm "Execute?" with yes. You can close Cheat Engine. Mind that you have to inject the DLL whenever you run the game if you want the FOV features. In the game, use `PageUp` and `PageDown` to change the FOV. You can also press `Home` to toggle HUD objective locators without having to go through the menus.

Issues fixed

Unable to enter Fullscreen

Change value in CFG^{[citation needed]}
Go to `%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Arkane Studios\dishonored2\base\`. Open `dishonored2Config.cfg` with a text editor and look for `r_fullscreen`. If present change value from `2` to `1` otherwise add `r_fullscreen "1"` manually at the end of the file and save.

Disable fullscreen optimizations^[9]
Go to `<path-to-game>`. Right-click on `Dishonored2.exe` and click on Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and check "Disable fullscreen optimizations". Click Apply to save the changes.

Mouse sensitivity tied to frame rate

Several users have reported inconsistent mouse movement, specifically when frame rate drops occur

Edit configuration files^[10]
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `dishonored2Config.cfg`. Edit `g_mouseClamp "360"` to `180`. Save the changes.

Unable to invert controller Y axis

Caused by the game recognizing the gamepad as a mouse input due to a Steam setting

Change setting in Steam Big Picture settings^{[citation needed]}
Open Steam Big Picture mode. Click on the gear in the top right (settings). Go to `Controller Settings`. Uncheck `Xbox Configuration Support` or `PS4 Configuration Support` depending on the controller you are using.

Depth of field re-enabling on its own

Create a keybind to disable DoF^[11]
Add arkBind "P" "r_skipDOF 1" to the game's main config file (not in the default keybinds section, but in the custom keybinds section), then press "P" in-game after loading a save.

Add a launch argument^[11]
Add "+r_skipDOF 1" to your Steam launch parameters, or to a shortcut for the game's executable. Works only once per game launch, DOF returns after reloading saves

Add a launch argument^[11]

Add "+r_skipDOF 1" to your Steam launch parameters, or to a shortcut for the game's executable.

Works only once per game launch, DOF returns after reloading saves

Flickering texture artifacts on player (arm and sword)

Disable HBAO+^[12]
Open the `Options` menu from either the main menu or pause menu. Open `Visuals` and go to the `Advanced Settings` tab. Set `HBAO+` to `No`. Close the menu and save your settings.

Dirty glass effect on screen

The dirty glass effect appears to be tied to bloom, and cannot be disabled separately.

Disable Bloom^[13]
Open the `Options` menu from either the main menu or pause menu. Open `Visuals` and go to the `Quality Settings` tab. Set `Bloom` to `No`. Close the menu and save your settings.

Long time to load main menu

This happens because the game pre-compiles a lot of shaders before starting.

Increase shader cache size (NVIDIA-only)^[14]^[15]
If you increase the size of your shader cache, then your PC will keep the shaders from last time playing saved and doesn't have to re-compile on restarting the game. Open Nvidia Control Panel. Set shader cache size to a higher level. The shaders are saved under `%LOCALAPPDATA%\NVIDIA\DXCache` On AMD cards, shader cache can only be turned on or off, size can't be manually set.^[16]
