  1. Download jackfuste's fix.
  2. Replace the <path-to-game>\sekiro.exe with the one inside the fix (using 7zip).

Notes

Some issues with red vignetting and other effects that are in the 16:9 area. These can be fixed using another jackfuste fix that stretches or disables these textures entirely.
Alternatively, you can download a mod from Nexusmods that let's you turn off select parts of the HUD individually, including vignette effects.
Use SekiroFpsUnlockAndMore and enable "Add Custom Resolution"

FOV can be set to any value between -95% and +95%.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 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>/814380/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (814380) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
