Field of view (FOV)

This tweak for Flawless Widescreen offers a slight FOV boost compared to the default setting.

Increase FOV slider range^{[citation needed]}
Go to the Flawless Widescreen installation folder. Go into `PluginCache\FWS_Plugins\Modules\DMC5\Dependencies\Scripts\`. Open `DMC5.lua` with a text editor. Find `fAdditionalFOV = Sender:GetScaledFloat(5)`. Change it to `fAdditionalFOV = Sender:GetScaledFloat(3)`. Restart Flawless Widescreen and adjust the slider.

Borderless fullscreen windowed

Force borderless^{[citation needed]}
Download and run GeDoSaTo. Edit the DMC-DevilMayCry profile. Add `forceBorderlessFullscreen true`. Run the game in fullscreen mode.

Anisotropic filtering (AF)

Set max anisotropy^{[citation needed]}
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `DevilEngine.ini`. Change `MaxAnisotropy=4` to `MaxAnisotropy=16` for 16x Anisotropic Filtering, or other value to your preferences.

Anti-aliasing (AA)

Force SGSSAA^[5]
Download and run Nvidia Profile Inspector. Open the DmC-Devil May Cry profile. Set Antialiasing Compatibility to 0x080000C1. Set Antialiasing Behavior Flags to None. Set Antialiasing Mode to Override any application setting. Set Antialiasing Setting to Multisampling (2x, 4x, 8x).

Remapping

The game does not allow assigning Devil Trigger and Gun Special function to a single key press (when using keyboard) instead of executing button combo.

Remapping Devil Trigger and Gun Special^{[citation needed]}

Open <path-to-game>\DevilGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini
FInd the following entries:

EVADE2 = NTB_LEFT_SHOULDER
GUNSPECIAL = NTB_V_GAME2
DEVILTRIGGER = NTB_V_GAME3

Change them to:

EVADE2 = NTB_NONE
GUNSPECIAL = NTB_LEFT_SHOULDER
DEVILTRIGGER = NTB_DPADDOWN

Go to the configuration file location.
Open DMCKbdInputConfig.ini.
Remap the NTB_LEFT_SHOULDER (Gun Special) and NTB_DPADDOWN (Devil Trigger) manually to a key. For example:
```
NTB_LEFT_SHOULDER=O
NTB_DPADDOWN=N
```
Also, there appears to be an unconfigured key for manual lock in <path-to-game>\DevilGame\Config\DefaultInput.ini

LOCKON = NTB_NONE

Issues unresolved

Refresh rate change not saving

Problems saving change in refresh rate for some people,^[7] displaying 23 Hz instead of 60 Hz.^[8]

Issues fixed

Start up with wrong resolution and aspect ratio

Edit resolution from config file^[9]
Go to the configuration file location. Open `QlocConfig.ini`. Edit the lines `ResWidth=` and `ResHeight=` to match your resolution.

Swap axes of right analog stick

Some controllers have a default setting which make using the right stick awful.

Modify the config file^{[citation needed]}

Open <path-to-game>\DevilGame\Config\DMCKbdInputConfig.ini
Change

Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightX", Command="NT_STICK m_vRightStick_Raw DeadZone=0.2 Vertical=0 Min=0.1 Max=1.0")
Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightY", Command="NT_STICK m_vRightStick_Raw DeadZone=0.2 Vertical=1 Min=0.1 Max=1.0")

to

Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightX", Command="NT_STICK m_vRightStick_Raw DeadZone=0.2 Vertical=1 Min=0.1 Max=1.0")
Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightY", Command="NT_STICK m_vRightStick_Raw DeadZone=0.2 Vertical=0 Min=0.1 Max=1.0")

DualShock 3 crash

The game will crash with MotionInJoy;^[10] Use XInput Wrapper instead.

Replace MotionInJoy with XInput Wrapper^{[citation needed]}
Uninstall MotionInJoy. Install XInput Wrapper. The controller will now show up as an Xbox 360 Controller in-game.

Razer Nostromo crash

When a Razer Nostromo is installed as a controller, the game crashes.

Device Manager shut down^[11]
Open the Device Manager: 8 and later: right-click the Start corner (or press `⊞ Win`+`X`), choose Device Manager. Vista and 7: open the Start menu, type `devmgmt.msc` and press `↵ Enter`. Expand Human Interface Devices. Right-click Razer Nostromo, choose Disable, and click Yes to confirm. The Razer Nostromo keeps working perfectly with all the binds and will launch correctly.

Controller dropping input

When using controller, game suddenly stops accepting analog input for few seconds.

Change ingame settings^{[citation needed]}
Pause a game Enter `Options` > `Graphics Options` Enable checkbox next to `Enable VSync` Apply settings
