Field of view (FOV)

Custom FOV
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open StyxGame.ini. Add the following binds at the bottom. Bindings=(Name="F3",Command="FOV 120",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False) Bindings=(Name="F4",Command="FOV 125",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False) Press F3 or F4 in game for higher FOV.

Frame rate (FPS)

Change bSmoothFramerate[citation needed]
Locate %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Styx\StyxGame\Config\StyxEngine.ini and open the file with a text editor. Find bSmoothFrameRate and change it from TRUE to FALSE.

Change MaxSmoothedFrameRate[citation needed]

Locate %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Styx\StyxGame\Config\StyxEngine.ini and open the file with a text editor. Find MaxSmoothedFrameRate and change it from 62 to the desired value. Notes Increasing the existing frame rate value breaks the in-game physics. Ennemies corpses may jump and fly once murdered or put on the ground. Above 142 FPS, the bodies flies. Above 62 FPS, the bodies jumps. Activating bSmoothFrameRate with a limit of 62 FPS seems to be the optimal values.
