Field of View (FOV)

Increase the FOV beyond 90 degrees using a HEX editor

Palworld's included field of view slider maxes out at 90 degrees but you may increase it further with hex editing. Open Palword and load into a save file. Exit to the menu Go to Graphics and change the FOV to any value that you aren't currently using. Save your settings Close Palworld If you are using the Xbox version, go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\PocketpairInc.Palworld_ad4psfrxyesvt\SystemAppData\wgs\IDprofile\IDWorld\. If you are using the Steam version, go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Pal\Saved\SaveGames\IDprofile\IDWorld\. If you aren't sure which folders are correct then you can search by date modified and open the most recent ones if you followed steps 1 and 2 Open the long named file within this folder with a hex editor Search for "FOV". There are two entries. One controls the mounted camera's FOV and the other is for the player character's FOV. If you can't find FOV by searching then you've opened the wrong file In the decoded text section, look for the portion after FOV and FloatProperty that looks like "xA" where x is your current FOV. Highlight the "x" portion in the Decoded text. It should highlight the corresponding part that you need to change. Change this value to FF or another value that you desire. Repeat this for both entries if you want the FOV to be changed for both the player and mounted cameras. Save the file. Open Palworld. If you see your new FOV in the Graphics settings then it worked Notes IDprofile and IDworld will be different for each player. If you've created multiplayer worlds or characters then you will have several folders. You should be able to tell which one you want to edit by changing a setting in game, saving your settings then filtering by recently modified in Windows Explorer. Don't touch the FOV slider or it will reset. You can change other graphics settings without needing to repeat these steps. You can convert any number in between 160 and 255 to get the FOV you desire. You can use these as an example, where the first part is the hex value, the second is the integer that you will convert into hexadecimal and the third is the FOV value that Palworld will show in the graphics menu. A0 = 160 = 70 degrees FF = 255 = 107 degrees

Y axis scaling for Ultrawide monitors

Fixes the "Zoomed in" issue that affects Ultrawide monitors, even at FOV set to 90. Go to the configuration location for your version of the game. Open "Engine.ini" At the bottom of the file, add the following (without quotations) "[/script/engine.localplayer] AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV". Save the file (Optionally) Set the file to "Read Only" by right-clicking the file, going to "Properties" and ticking the checkbox called "Read-Only". Notes Setting the File to "Read-Only" might not be necessary. As of the current build of the game (v0.1.2.0).
