How to set FOV and remove mouse acceleration

Guide on how to set a custom field of view (FOV) value and remove the mouse acceleration from Starfield.

Field of view and Mouse acceleration

This method will not disable achievements.

Locate this directory C:\Users{YOUR NAME}\Documents\My Games\Starfield

In the same folder as StarfieldPrefs.ini you need to create a new file named StarfieldCustom.ini. Make sure the file extention name is correctly set as a ".ini" file.

If your file is automatically created as a text file you need to find the view tab on the top of your file explorer. Click this tab and make sure File name extension is checked here. Now you can remove .txt from your file name.

FOV lines is no longer needed. Official FOV slider can now be found in the Accessibility tab in the Starfield settings menu.

FOV

in the new file StarfieldCustom.ini put these lines, You can change the number to whatever fov you wish:

[Camera]
fFPWorldFOV=100
fTPWorldFOV=100

Pilot FOV (optional)

[FlightCamera]
fFlightCameraFOV=100

Weapon FOV:

[Camera]
fFPGeometryFOV=100

Mouse acceleration

To remove mouse acceleration enter these lines into StarfieldCustom.ini

[Controls]
bMouseAcceleration=0
fIronSightsPitchSpeedRatio=1
fPitchSpeedRatio=1

*IMPORTANT*

When you finished editing the file, right click the edited file and press "properties". Check the box for Read-only. This will prevent the game from resetting the values automatically later on.

thanks again david, excellent post as always. now how do i remove the sassy HR boss woman cliche that makes up 80 percent of this game's cast?

Weapon FOV can be changed now by adding this line at the bottom into StarfieldCustom

[Camera]
fFPGeometryFOV=100.0000
(change value to what you want. I think the decimal and the 0's have to be there too).

Not sure how high it goes but 140.0000 was the highest i went but it looked too high.

Thanks man. Utterly stupid why this was not in the game to begin with. Good thing the engine is the same, as well as the commands.

How to fix freezing and audio error?

Also I think there used to be an ironsights setting to that affected how close the gun gets to the camera when aiming down sights... is there a way to change that too?

[Cryptix]

Is there a way to change the FOV of the arms like in other Bethesda games?

Usually the variables were fDefault1stPersonFOV and a fDefaultWorldFOV, one changing the environment and one affecting the viewmodel (arms).

Actually outrageous that we have to do .ini editing to make a playable game. I haven't modded an ini since modding CNC tibsun when i was a wee lad

Bless Dr. Howard and Microsoft for this still being an issue in their games. Thanks OP
