FOV adjustment howto

[netarchy]

Right, I figured out how to adjust the FOV.

First you'll need to enable the console by adding +set com_allowconsole 1 to your launch options

Then, inside the game, bring down the console, and use the cvaradd command to modify the g_fov variable.

Example: (g_fov defaults to 80, we are going to modify this)

cvaradd g_fov 15 (this results in 80 + 15 = g_fov 95)

example 2:

cvaradd g_fov -15 (this results in 80 - 15 = g_fov 65)


Enjoy.

Update: As has been noted by others on the forum, it is also possible to set this in your Rage launch options in steam, just use something like:
+cvaradd g_fov X
where X is your preferred number.

Also, Enabling the Console during a game disables achievements for that entire save.

So there is no way as of now to get achievements and use a proper FoV.

You can probably get around that by putting the cvaradd line into default.cfg, just remember you're modifying a base value of 80.

Put the command in default.cfg

Impressive sir.

I will give you +1 internets, or a gift of your choosing that I have in my possession.

Putting the command in the default.cfg doesn't disable achievements?

Works. You can also add it in the launch options with a + in front.

And just like that, Rage looks miles better.

Seriously. Eidos Montreal broke the ice with Deus Ex Human Revolution by including a bloody FOV slider. Time for all developers to follow suit. Not having an FOV slider should no longer be an option even.

Thanks so much OP.

Can anyone clarify this?

Does enabling the console with com_allowconsole 1 disable achievements?

Are you changing FOV using the default.cfg or startup options?

I can't seem to get either to work, only changing via the console does

It didn't work in default.cfg for me. I put it in launch options. You can remove the console command from the options and it shouldn't disable achievements. I haven't found where it saves the updated cfg file. That is where it would need to be added. Remember the "+" in front.
