How to change FOV in A17. Low FOV causes migraines.

[sanders787]

Is there any way to change the FOV in A17 since the slider was removed? Having a low FOV causes migraines for me and eventually nausea if playing for too long. Preformance or not its rediculous to have modern PC games locked to 65 FOV, at least give the option to change it.

Found a solution, open the console using F1 and type sg OptionsFieldOfViewNew 100

It worked in game for me but you may have to go to the menu first.

it doesn't work when you're on a server (even if you're an admin)

Use it in the main menu before you join the server or start a singleplayer game and change the setting there.

Wow Im so glad there is an option for this. now they just need to add a shader that makes it more like an animal with a fovia sees

Thanks for sharing this information. It is very relieving.

problem is when i use mining helmet or flash light, light is really small

Even when you manually change it, FOV is still broken. I basically puts the default FOV in the middle, and then stretches the edges of the small area to fit the screen.

It's probably why the option is disabled. It's not working correctly.

i changed FOV to 90

i see that my setting does stay in the file but the OptionsFieldOfViewNew 65 is added in game, so it is overwritten.

so yep sylen is correct.

BUT...

down in a cave with mining helmet on and my light is working correctly.

If you want to mess around with shaders check out reshade. I spent hours setting up mine. https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?104529-Making-7-Days-To-Die-Look-Better&p=928472#post928472

I have made changes since then of course and manually edited my xml files instead of using mods. It looks much better than vanilla.

I hope that an fov slider is readded again or the admin command kept in the game, it looks much better
