Video settings

Field of view (FOV)

Change FOV with Cheat Engine[citation needed]
Download and install Cheat Engine. Download the WSGF attachment. Use the included Cheat Table file to adjust the FOV values.

Change FOV with hex edit[citation needed]

Open d3dx9_25.dll with a hex editor such as HxD. Go to offset 0x3F9A9. Replace bytes 00 00 80 BF with bytes representing your float value multiplier at a negative value (default multiplier is -1.0). Remember to invert the byte order to Little Endian. Notes Use this online float to hex converter. If the code is replaced with the command to jump to allow the extending of vertical fov at 0x3F9A9, replace bytes 00 00 80 3F at 0x1F8F3A with bytes representing your float value multiplier in a positive value (default multiplier here is 1.0). FOV multiplier values lower than -0.75 or 0.75 will also cause blue clipping on geometry.

Fixes

The game suffers from occasional freezes during the loading screen at which point a game restart is in place. To fix this, you need to update the d3dx9_25.dll file. To do this, navigate to %Windir%\system32, copy the latest d3dx9_.dll file in the game directory, which happens to be d3dx9_43.dll, delete the original d3dx9_25.dll from the game directory, then rename d3dx9_43.dll to d3dx9_25.dll.
