- Change the
91 00 bytes to FF FF.
- Do a search for
00 00 70 42 00 00 11 43.

43 byte to 45
- Go to
<path-to-game>\data
- Open up
video.rml
- Do a search for
max="145"
- Change
145 to you prefered FOV value (the value of 130 should be roughly equal to 110 horizontal FOV and the value of 155 should be roughly equal to 120 horizontal FOV).

Settings do not persist after exiting the game.
Issues fixed
Mouse look is incredibly wonky
- For unknown reasons, the x and y axis's are scaled in a way the looking up and down is slower than looking left and right.
|
Change the mouse X/Y scaling[citation needed]
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\gameroot.
- Open
sw-redux.cfg with a text editor and find the lines MouseScaleX and MouseScaleY and change the numbers next to the text to the following:
MouseScaleX = 4MouseScaleY = 2
- Save the changes made and close the file.
- While this will result in equal axis, the games mouselook is never going to be perfect as it has a large deadzone, it's built on a very old version of eduke32 and can't be corrected. Modern source ports such as BuildGDX have proper 1:1 mouselook without deadzone issues.
|
Display incorrectly scaled/cut off when using Windows display scaling
- If the display scaling in Windows is set to something other than 100%, this game will not properly compensate for that as most games do.
|
Enable scaling override for game executable
|
- Go to
<path-to-game>\bin.
- Right-click on
sw.exe and select "Properties".
- Click "Change high DPI settings" button.
- Check "Override high DPI scaling" checkbox. Ensure dropdown is set to "Application".
- Hit "OK" to save changes.
