Field of view (FOV)

This hack requires bypassing the Easy Anti-Cheat protection; it's recommended to play in offline mode in Steam and Uplay to avoid being banned.

  2. Download FC5 Unlock FOV.
  3. Copy Unlock_FOV.exe to <path-to-game>\bin\.
  4. Run Unlock_FOV.exe and apply patch to FC_m64.dll. It's recommended to backup FC_m64.dll before patching.
  5. Run the game and setup your desired FOV in the game menu.

Note: Keep in mind that sometimes changing the FOV to 90 and higher in multi-monitor mode MAY cause water flickering when moving too fast (by plane etc)

Issues unresolved

DualShock 4 not working

Controller workaround
  1. If using a DualShock 4 through Bluetooth, the game will not recognise it. A temporary workaround is to connect it straight to your PC through USB.
  2. You can get partial controller support by launching the game through Steam with Steam's XInput emulator however your dpad and left trigger will not work correctly.

Issues fixed

99% GPU utilization even on low details, low FPS

Use Reshade and Rinput injectors together
In case of game error of injecting see.
In case of FPS drops after using map, disable Reshade (bind the key in injector menu, settings - by default, beginning from 4.x version accessing by "home" key.
Game now suppose to be perfectly playable on low details with 30-37 FPS on C2Q and HD 7870/R9 270.
