How Can I Change the Field of View!?

[It'sTobes]

This is a great game, but undoubtebly one of the worst PC games in terms of FOV. I purchased TW2 months ago, but I have literally not played it since because I could not get on with the horrible console-like FOV that feels like 50 when it should be 100 in my opinion. I feel sick playing the game, and it's only in combat that the FOV increases slightly, but I need it to be like that at all times.

After searching around on Google and YouTube, I have literally found nothing. I found one video which offered a download link for an FOV mod, but offered instructions which were impossible to follow, so I could never find a way to install and use the mod. I am really wanting to play this game, and I've heard great reviews regarding the storyline, but it lacks the one setting which all PC games should have nowadays. I can't believe for such a graphically detailed and optomised game it doesn't even have a FOV slider in the settings...

Any help? I will be the happiest guy on Earth if I can find an FOV modifier!

I'm pretty sure the FOV is ~90, it just seems like less since Geralt is so close to the camera.

Thanks for the link, but I can't seem to get the mod installed. I've tried downloading three different FOV mods now, and each contain similar files. However, the instructions they provide say to place them in a 'UserContent' folder in my Witcher 2 directory in my documents. I have loooked everywhere in my directories and I don't have any folder called UserContent. I also tried creating the folder manually, but after launching the game's mod menu I can't see any installed mod listed...

Launch the game and see if it's working. I can't check right now since I don't have it installed and I'm really not up for downloading 20GB's from GOG right now :(.

SOLVED!

I have no idea how I did it, but I've managed to manually create the UserContent folder elsewhere and I am now able to apply the mod. The game looks soo much better than it did before, thanks for your help NwptRaisins :)

Hi TobyMc

I've tried installing a FOV mod too but can't get it recognized in the launcher. Can you tell us where else than Documents\Witcher 2\ folder you placed your UserContent folder exactly?

TIA

Hey BBFred,

I actually created a Steam guide shortly after this post which tells you how to apply the FOV mod.

Hope it helps!
