Field of view (FOV)

Ultrawide FOV fix[2]

In Ultrawide resolutions the FOV slider in-game has a minimum value of 140. This causes a bad case of the 'fish eye' effect and causes several important HUD elements to not display properly, if at all.

  1. Change the game resolution to a 16:9 resolution. Save the settings and exit the game.
  2. Restart the game. The FOV slider will now allow you to change the FOV below 140, up to a maximum of 95.
  3. Apply the change in FOV, then change back to your desired resolution and save.
Once back in Ultra-wide, changing the FOV slider will cause it to revert to a minimum of 140
