- Changing the FOV without applying the NecroVisioN 1.1 widescreen fix first will make the game crash when using iron sights.
Use Necrovision Extended Menu[2]
|
- Download and extract Necrovision Extended Menu.
- Copy extracted files to game's location.
- Run the game and disable Fullscreen mode from in-game's options.
Notes
- It is very likely that the game will bug out when trying to set Windowed mode when using DirectX 10 renderer - use DirectX 9 instead.[2]
- The game natively starts in fullscreen mode no matter the config option. Simply go to game's options and toggle fullscreen option twice to force the game to Windowed mode.
