How do you zoom out.

[deurkruk]

Running it on 1920x1080 res after editing prefs. But I would like to be able to zoom out. Is there a way to do it?

Found it out myself.
In:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Roaming\Tilted Mill\Hinterland\client
Open prefs.js with an editor (preferably notepad++)

Find the line starting with:
$pref::Player::defaultFov = 80
Your number could be different.
Set it higher. 100 or 110 is good for me.
This is also the file where you can change to a custom resolution.

To do that find the line:
$pref::Video::mode = "1920 1080 true 32 60 8";
Note, if searching, only search for the beginning as your resolution will be different.

Change 1920 1080 to the resolution of your choice.

as much as i would liek to say yes to the game i just cannot get it to go to a decent resolution. Can only have the standard options it gives and for that it sucks.

Using windows 10. The C:/ command does not exist (and its not the only game that this does not go for).
I even went to the steam location and to hinterlands there but there was no folder or file for client or anything to remotely let you change resolutions manually.

Looks like the game came out in 2009 (yep but not soo bad), but came out with already outdated graphic settings from the early 1990's (if not into the 80's).

Install "Everything" the search app, search for hinterlands, select the one that takes you to app data, roaming, tilted mill (as in the above comment) and right click on the result in Everything and open path. Dill down until you get to prefs.cs (prefs.js in the solution is actually wrong or maybe it has been superceded).

Or use Everything to search for prefs.cs (not prefs.js) and be sure that it's the Tilted Mill/Hinterlands one you get in the results.

I appreciate that this advice may be two years too late, but the solution given definitely works.
