Debug Console Commands (FPS Unlock (60+) / Widescreen) from Bethesda

[Sonic]

So it seems Bethesda released the commands for us to fix the game even though it's not an actual fix, we can pretty much do some workarounds with the settings. Also they seem to be willing to fix any issue we may encounter with 60fps.

From Bethesda Forums[forums.bethsoft.com]

 We promised them, and here they are! Please note that using debug console commands is unsupported by Bethesda and our customer service team.

 

To access the debug console, do the following:

 

In Steam, right click on The Evil Within and select “properties” then under the General tab, hit “set launch options.”
Put this in to unlock the console: +com_allowconsole 1
Once the game has launched, hit the Insert key to bring down the developer console.

These are the commands you can use and some notes about each:
   
R_swapinterval <NUMBER>
        
Sets the FPS lock. Note that the numbers below are negative.        
-2: This is the default, set to 30 FPS. This is the officially supported frame rate
        
-1: This sets the FPS limit to 60. Fully playable, although there may be quirks (we’re going to fix these).
        
0: This fully unlocks the FPS. We do not recommend playing above 60. We will not fix any issues above 60.
    
God
        God mode. You are effectively invincible, and certain enemy kill moves will not be used against you (Laura, for example, will not jump on you)
    
Noclip
        Allows you to walk through walls

    
G_infiniteammo
        Unlimited ammo (provided you have at least 1 bullet when you enable this)

    
G_stoptime 1
        Stops time. Note there is a bug right now where using this command causes a UI element to appear on screen. We’re looking to fix that in the near future.
        Re enable time with g_stoptime 0

    
Toggledebugcamera
        Separates the camera from Sebastian so you can freely move around the

    
R_forceaspectratio <NUMBER>
        Sets the aspect ratio. Default is 2.5, which is our official aspect ratio.
        0 is full screen, but not ideal. 1.8 or 2 is probably most comfortable for those who don’t want bars.

    
Com_showFPS
        Turns on id’s native FPS counter

    
Startslowmotion2
        Slows down time

    
Stopslowmotion
        Disables slow motion

right guys ;) whats the best options to enable change for 3440x1440 reolution without black bars :D and correct aspect ratio... wish there was a fov setting as i know this is going to be fked aswell.

All nice and well, but changing the aspect ratio merely zooms the picture in to a level i'm really uncomfortable with. With aspect ratio setting 2.5 (default) it's already pretty close, but setting it to 1.8 or even lower to go full screen zooms the image in even worse.

If it's just like Rage and Wolfenstein: The New Order, it shouldn't be that hard.

Bethesda just needs to stick with Elderscrolls and Fallout cause this sh@t is getting old

[Sludge]

No resolution option in game? I was hoping for at least that much.. Anyone running 2560x1440? I'm looking for a good ratio while avoiding the screen zoom madmax mentioned. If at all possible.

[Brit-Spearman[toxic+5]]

Need command to stop headbobing / camera wobbling. This thing is giving me headache.

[JohnDman]

does anyone know if the debug menu disables achievements?

1920/1080=1,77777777... (16:9 correct value is near ~1,778)
2560/1440=1,77777777...

1920/1200=1,6 (8:5 / 16:10 correct value is exactly 1,6. Note that this is also the Golden Ratio.)

3440/1440=2,38888888... (21:9 correct value is near ~2,388 but it sounds too large so test something like ~2,370 first. This is because "21:9" monitor's true aspect ratio is not 21:9 but 64:27. It's the third power of 4:3.)

After you've set the correct aspect ratio, you need to set correct FOV so it won't appear "zoomed". The cvar for that is "g_fov" if I recall correctly. Correct FOV for the...

16:9 is approx. 115 degrees (or sligthly less) when resolution is 1920x1080.

16:10 is exactly 100 degrees for 1920x1200.

21:9 is probably some ridiculously high number for horizontal FOV and ridiculously small for vertical FOV and should be set separately if possible. But starting from 150 degress probably wouldn't be a bad idea. However that doesn't change the fact that your monitor is illsuited for gaming.

Note that I'm writing this here without actually checking if this works. I only own one game that uses idTech 5 game engine.

EDIT: Apparently g_fov is the real console command but it might/might not have been locked so it cannot/can be changed. I'd be interested to hear if you test it out and report if it works or not. And People with ridiculous 21:9 monitors probably want to check this out:

http://www.flawlesswidescreen.org/

Somebody said that If your monitor is 120Hz, then setting R_swapinterval to -2 makes the game run 60FPS. On 60Hz monitor it's 30FPS. Setting it to -3 on 60Hz monitor makes the game run 20FPS. Setting it to -1 locks the game to your display's native freshrate.

EDIT: I made the math and unless I completely screwed up then correct horizontal FOV for the 3440x1440 in 21:9 is 155 degrees precise, and the vertical FOV is ~64,4 degrees. And that's just insane.

FML, I am using a Mac keyboard and I cannot use Insert key :(
I need to adjust ratio to play without black bars horizontally and vertically

Actually you can. But most Mac people are computer illiterate and don't bother to Google up simple things.

EDIT: Sorry. I'm on a bad mood today. Insert on Macintosh keyboard is "fn+Enter". And for the future reference bookmark the Apple's pages:

So, can anyone confirm whether or not the FOV is changeable through console commands?

[Snake]

Can anyone explain what this setting actually does?

[jacko640]

try g_fov its default at 80 so i did a g_fov 90 and game didnt complained

[MADagain321]

Bethesda is just a publisher, they didn't even develop this game.
