Graphics feature State Notes
Widescreen resolution
Game uses desktop resolution; in-game resolution options only affect clarity of render. Use the -ResX=XXXX -ResY=YYYY -FullscreenMode=1 -Fullscreen command line arguments to set a custom resolution (switching back and forth to windows mode using Alt+↵ Enter may be required for changes to take effect).

60 FPS
120+ FPS
Frame rate capped at 60 FPS. See High frame rate.
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See the engine page to force native HDR output, or the glossary page for other alternatives.
The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unreal Engine 4 page for more details.

Field of view (FOV)

Set FOV calculation to vertical[4]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini.
  3. Add the following to the end of the file and save it.
[/Script/Engine.LocalPlayer]
AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV

Notes

This solution dramatically increases the FOV. Only recommended for multi-monitor set-ups or for those who want an extremely high FOV.

High frame rate

High frame rate[5]
  1. Open <path-to-game>\HelloNeighbor\Config\DefaultEngine.ini. Change one or a combination of settings to control frame rate:
    1. Set a higher UpperBound value within SmoothedFrameRateRange.
    2. Remove the frame rate smoothing cap entirely by setting bSmoothFrameRate to false.
    3. Modify the rate cap by setting bUseFixedFrameRate to true and set the FixedFrameRate value
  2. Save the changes and close the editor.

May cause unintended gameplay effects.
