How to change the FOV

[pyide]

Add +cl_fov=90 (or whatever you prefer) to the command line / launch options / shortcut. Ex: "D:\Games\Crysis 2 Demo\bin32\Crysis2Demo.exe" +cl_fov=90

Here's a shot of 120 in game, a drastic change just to show it does in fact work:

90:

edit:
Be sure to add +pl_movement.power_sprint_targetFov with a value that is the same or higher as your chosen cl_fov to prevent the constant view zooming when sprinting.

Thanks to Paddywak for the sprint fov command!

Thanks, will give this a shot once i can log in. Whats the default FOV btw?

I don't know what the default is, there's no way to quick check via a console or config file. What I do know is that it's too low for me personally by default, I was already getting nauseous after a few minutes of play. Headache started to kick in too.

What's the command for motion blur?

I love you OP. <3

Set the FOV to your desired FOV ...

+cl_fov=90
+r_DrawNearFoV = 90
+pl_movement.power_sprint_targetFov = 90
+r_MotionBlur=0
+g_skipIntro=1


EXample ...
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis 2 Demo\bin32\Crysis2Demo.exe" +cl_fov=90 +r_DrawNearFoV = 90 +pl_movement.power_sprint_targetFov = 90 +r_MotionBlur=0 +g_skipIntro=1

Enjoy ...

I love you too, Paddywak. <3

- One thing to note, the game zooms back to the default fov when sprinting, but then goes back to your adjusted fov when you stop. The back and forth can be a bit disorienting if you are using a high value and sprint a lot.

Let's all pray it's not patched out of the retail release! I'm betting it will be!

Looks like a fisheye image to me. Interesting that you found the option for it though.

Since it's impossible to see what the commands are for Crysis 2 as of yet, you can only go by what was in the original Crysis and hope they didn't change them for the new engine and 2.

So there's a few commands listed here you can try to adding to the command line like the fov tweak get rid of blur, no idea if they will work however:
http://www.tweakguides.com/Crysis_8.html
http://www.tweakguides.com/Crysis_9.html
http://www.tweakguides.com/Crysis_10.html
http://www.tweakguides.com/Crysis_11.html
http://www.tweakguides.com/Crysis_12.html

r_motionblur & r_PostProcessEffects (also gets rid of depth of field effects and such)

Trial and error to see if they work I suppose.

Thanks for the skip intro one!

Like I said, 120 was a drastic fov increase, just to easily show it does work via a screenshot.

Upping the field of view above a certain point will start to fishbowl the edges in every game where it's adjustible. You just have to go by what you prefer, and if you prefer the default then that's all there is to it. I'd say you want somewhere between 75-90 though if the default makes you sick like it does for me.

Above that you gain much more peripheral vision, but at the expense of harder to see distant objects, and of course the fishbowl effect increases. Lots of people don't care about that as they rarely focus on the edges of the screen anyway. I personally stick around 80-100 depending on the game. Nearly every game (or engine) handles it differently, and older ones without proper widescreen support usually need ~100 in 16:10 resolutions.

I know, trust me I've had to adjust FOV in loads of games in the past. AVP2 is the worst to do so in since you HAVE to use a cheatcode and it's not exact, you can't see the variable and have to adjust it using + and -. I was just commenting on the 120fov image. Even the 90 is too much for me. I really wonder what the default is.

Thanks a lot for this.

I think 90 is perfect IMO, 120 is like a huge fish eye.

It will be great if somebody will find out how to turn off more useless stuff like bloom or AA.
