Hi Yakuza fans,

We’ve pushed a small patch to fix a camera issue:

• Fixed an issue where changing the option 'Camera Control (Vertical)' to 'Reverse' didn't apply to the mouse when using mouse and keyboard.

Thank you again to everyone who participated in our beta. As always, we appreciate your support!

In addition, by user request, while we cannot add a separate FOV slider in-game for combat only, we've added a fix via editing the .ini file:

• Added a separate FOV value for combat in the graphics.ini file. Players can access this by browsing to \Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Sega\Yakuza0\graphics.ini and changing the CombatFieldOfView="62.000" value (minimum 30, maximum 90). Changes will take effect after saving the .ini and relaunching the game. Adjustments made to the in-game FOV slider will override this setting so we recommend players who wish to have separate FOV values first adjust the in game slider to their liking for exploration, then adjust the ini file to adjust the view in combat.

Note that this .ini file fix is not officially supported, so please experiment at your own discretion. The default value is 62.

Please note that this patch will reset your graphics settings to default because of the change made in graphics.ini file. If you have made any changes from default settings previously, please make those changes again and then restart the game. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Thank you,
SEGA Dev
