Mod/Method/Tool To Increase Field of View

invizo · April 2014

I play with a 1440P monitor and a 70-80 field of view is simply not realistic, not immersing (real eyes have more field of view), and utterly horrible in first person.

Raising such an option that should already be in our video settings would NOT create an unfair advantage or any other negative effects especially since 1440P and greater monitors are becoming mainstream.

Has anyone figured out a way to increase this figure to say 100FOV? That way my first person view will actually look like the older Elder Scrolls games.

Bumping cause I'd like to know this too.

As far as I know there's going to be a FOV slider. I'm quite sure I've seen it being demoed in some recent video.

Come on, in real life, your eyes end at the vertical line of your dual wielded axes,why not in-game too? Nordz4Lyfe Homie

As one who runs a triple monitor setup I also am very much wanting this!

^Same. There's an offical post somewhere about the next one or two update's features having an FOV slider. Hopefully it comes true.

I feel more sorry for you multi-monitor users. It's really a shame that you have a natural 180* FOV and the game locks you in at less than half of that.

There's no game out there, as far as I know, that does that. The side monitors (waayy out) are always super stretched. This is OK, because it's peripheral vision. What isn't too ok is when the heads of NPCs are cut off in conversation

An FOV slider was a big topic in late Beta and ZOS waved it off for release.

1st person mode was a late addition to the game and they probably felt they couldn't get an FOV control tuned in time. (How it reacts to switching between 3rd and 1st person mode would be the concern I would have.)

I'd be surprised if it isn't still on their radar, but you'd have to ask a dev what the schedule is for a control making it into a release.

I was looking for the same thing. I miss FOV slider a lot.

FOV slider is a must have. ArcheAge has no view limit at all and it still works without server downs 'n stuff. However if you edit your WoW a bit and install a mod to get maximum view the server will go down quickly and you probably gonna get banned. Not sure how ArcheAge can handle it but ESO needs more view distance aswell as a FOV slider.

But wouldn't that make it so that anyone with a bigger screen or multiple monitors would get a great advantage? You could see stuff (and other players) sneaking up on you well before a person running the standard setup. Doesn't seem fair.

Vantor · May 2014

Yeah but the default FoV is very limiting for people that play in 1st person mode.

It's not our fault some people have a crappy set-up. Buy more monitors!

I use the program below to adjust my FOV. Only drawback is you must run it each time after entering the game. Works great since early April. Also follow this thread:

Used and approved by ZOS as they looked at it. Works great. I use setting 65.

the TESO_FOV program doesn't seem to work for me now that the patch is in. Anyone else having issues?
It SAYS its working, but nothing changes when I pick different FOV settings.

it is broken along with all other methods of changing the fov in this 1.1 patch

mndfreeze · May 2014

Yeah, it really sucks because I'm so used to having my FOV set to about 65 (in TESO_FOV, so probably 80ish in skyrim is what its equal to) and playing without it almost hurts my eyes or makes me not focus them correctly, its odd.

I cant find the person whoa ctually MADE the program either. All I'm finding on the web is people talking about it and linking it for download. If anyone can assist m,e in finding the author's webpage or somethng taht would be awesome. Maybe it will be a quck fix for him. Never know.
