Nice, thank you. You win the internet today.

I still don't understand why it was removed from the graphics options when the console command clearly seems to work just fine, they said technacal reasons but if your still able to change the fov and nothing bad seems to happen... what was the reason for removing it in the first place?

Keep in mind, the command above has to be done every time you load up the game. First thing I do now, annoyingly, is pause and up the FOV to 75.

I turned up my FOV by a lot and had no dip in FPS at all, not 1. :ambivalence:

Thx Unholyjoe, my F1 stopped working, couldn't open console :upset:

Strangely we can't change F key bindings in the settings menu.

This option needs to be re added.

If FOV is causing lag (developers stated reason) then thats a bug that needs to be fixed. Expecting players to go lookup a console command to do somthing that every other game has as a basic visual setting is silly.

As I understand it, it's removal is temporary only.

I think it was faatal that said it was locked to 65 because they had performance issues.

So if you increase it, be warned that it will probably cause you drops in FPS and overall performance.

I used your setup, but this didn't change FOV actually.

For now (b208), FOV is still using OptionsFieldOfViewNew.

So, as faatal said before, sg OptionsFielsOfViewNew ## in console is the only way to fix.
