Field of view (FOV)

Instructions[1]
  1. Download, install and run Cheat Engine.
  2. Run the game and start a map.
  3. Add the Lost Planet 2 process to Cheat Engine.
  4. Scan for a float value of 45.
  5. Go back to game, zoom in with any standard weapon, then go back to Cheat Engine and scan for a float value of 28.
    • (for Episode 2 - Chapter 2 - Area 2 the values are 50 and 30)
    • (for Episode 3 - Chapter 3 - Area 1 the values are 40 and 26)
  6. The third found address controls the default view FOV (when not zooming in). Add it to address list and set a hotkey to change the value while in game.

Notes

Usually the address will change when a new area is loaded, so the scans will have to be repeated. Game will reset to original FOV value when zooming in, entering and exiting a VS, sprinting and dying, so using a hotkey is recommended.
The FOV will "jump" to lower value when looking high up if the FOV value is above 60, it will also "jump" when looking down if FOV value is above 52. To avoid this use a maximum value of 52 while on foot and 40 when inside a VS.
This will not have effect when inside stationary VS or helicopter.

Borderless fullscreen windowed

Force borderless fullscreen[citation needed]
  1. Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide.
  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\dxgi.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\LP2DX11.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
    • DirectX 9 version uses <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or \LP2DX9.exe\SpecialK.ini.
  4. Set ForceWindowed=true under [Display.Output].
  5. Set Borderless=true and Fullscreen=true under [Window.System].
  6. Set OverrideRes=0x0 to the resolution of your screen (e.g. OverrideRes=1920x1080).

Notes

The game will minimize to taskbar when pressing Alt+Tab .

Issues fixed

Game fails to start after launcher

This can be caused by the MS13-057/KB2803821 update (Windows RT, Windows 8, Windows 8 Enterprise); reinstall the update to resolve the issue.[2]
Reinstall KB2803821[2]
  1. Open Programs and Features:
    • Vista and later: Open the Start screen/Start menu, type appwiz.cpl and press Enter.
    • Windows XP: Press Win+R, type appwiz.cpl and press Enter.
  2. View the installed updates:
    • Vista and later: choose View installed updates.
    • Windows XP: choose Show updates.
  3. Locate KB2803821 and remove it.
  4. Run Windows Update and install the update again to get a newer version that does not have this problem.

Alternate solution for high core CPUs

Lost Planet 2 does not support more than 6 cores. Disabling cores will allow the game run normally.

Run the game at screen refresh rate

Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz on startup, even if it's been changed on the previous launch.
Set screen refresh rate[citation needed]
  1. Install Special K by following the Special K Unofficial Guide.
  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\dxgi.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\LP2DX11.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
    • DirectX 9 version uses <path-to-game>\d3d9.ini or \LP2DX9.exe\SpecialK.ini.
  4. Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0 under [Render.FrameRate].

Notes

  1. Games for Windows - LIVE DRM features: SSA+ZDPP activation, supports local profiles.
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/45750/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (45750) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
