FOV and Console fix

[Tantari]

Like many people, the 90 degree field of view (FOV) makes me motion sick. I tried everything I could see in the forum here to work around the issue but none of them worked. I did notice that it uses the UDK (Unreal Developers Kit?) engine, so I searched there.

(I also got rid of the distance blur so I could see where I'm going. I'll see about documenting that later.)

The only way I could get the FOV set to where I need it (about 110 degrees) was by enabling the console. And for those of you who wanted the console to do screen shots and things, this should work for you too.

* In your Steam folder, go to steamapps\common\Dream\UDKGame\Config
* Make a copy of the UDKInput.ini file so you can recover it if there are problems.
* In the [Engine.Console] section, find the "ConsoleKey=NONE" line. It should be the first line.
* Change that line to ConsoleKey=Tilde
* Save the file.
* Start the game.
* Either start a new game or load your save game.

Now that your game is up and running, press SHIFT-~ (the tilde key) to bring up the console.
Type "fov 110" and the FOV will be changed immediately. Press SHIFT-~ again to put the console away.

It seems like the FOV gets retained across level loads. But if it doesn't, pull up the console and enter the fov command again. It seems like you can change it as often as you like.

This won't work across sessions. If you re-start the game, you'll have to pull up the console and reset the FOV again.

I hope this helps someone else.

(Now if I could just change the FOV in JazzPunk, I'd be happy.)

Thanks for this - Will be pushing an update soonish to fix some peopel having controller issues, FOV slider and a few other bugs

Just enable console official! Game still have too many small bugs which are can be easily solved via console commands. Again - game not polished yet to hide console. Why to hide console at all? I wonder how devs are great in hiding console in their projects but fails in smooth and not bugged input system for example... Who will die if console will be accessible?

If possible, could you also toss in a checkbox for disabling the depth-of-field effect? That thing is one of the most expensive in the rendering pipeline on large resolutions and in Dream's case makes the level-of-detail changes on the objects extra apparent (at least on GTX 970m).

So, any ETA on the FOV slider?
Also, an option to disable the DOF would be nice.
And a small crosshair so I got a frame of reference for where I'm pointing to.

An option to disable the dramatic head bob is essential along with the FOV slider update. This is a make or break feature to be able to turn off. I normally have no issues with motion sickness however i am with this game due to the very dramatic head bob which essentially makes the game unplayable for me.

Yes, the game would be much better to play when depth of field and head bob could be disabled

Any news on that Update about the FOV slider?

First of all, great work! It's an awesome puzzle game!
But, any plans to update the game to get all the achievments? It's 1.5 years since you wrote "there will be an update soonish"
