#For the love of GOD change the FOV back to how it was. The camera is way too zoomed in.

Nobody likes this zoomed in almost fps like crap. Give us the old FOV back. Please, or at least the option to change it.

Sprinting with old FOV 5 Months ago + 1440x1080 res + AspectRatio_MaintainXFOV config

(Base of ~65 Vertical FOV + base of default 80 Horizontal FOV)

Sprinting with “new” FOV @ 1920x900 + default AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV [config disabled can’t change to XFOV]

(Base of default ~40 something Vertical FOV + 1920x900 provides increased horizontal FOV to an approximate value of 96~)

This is the example where you can see what you’re doing and feel less nauseated and less disoriented due to an unidentifiable sniper scope being forced on the player at all times. (and sprinting just makes it worse due to Sprint FOV Reduction)

It’s not perfect but it’s dramatically less disorienting for the player.

Higher FOV would mean:

  • better situational awareness for the player
    (helps address positional audio complaints + helps address complaints of being suddenly third partied by another player. Complaints like these relate to audio, TTK, SBMM/Skillgap, balance of movement cyberlimbs.)

  • Increased Player’s self positional awareness
    (As the player moves around the environment, during engagements where their focus in the center of the screen, they may find themselves performing varied actions like jetpack flight, falling and shooting, jumping around and shooting. Due to significantly low FOV, the player may unintentionally fall onto an object or jump into/onto a surface, potentially damaging the player or disrupting their crosshair placement as they read their own movement and the targets. Higher FOV here greatly decreases the likelihood of clunky interactions with the environment and movement)

  • Significantly less difficult to keep targets on screen.
    (The game has great verticality in its environment and utilities. It’s easy for a player to lose sight of another player with many utilities such as Leapers and Hammerhead allowing a player to shoot up into the air. This can be disorienting due to the low vertical FOV. This situation affects all skill levels but has a compounded impact on new players and below average skill players.)

  • Contributes to feeling faster when FOV is high instead of feeling slower when FOV is low.
    (Helps to address movement speed complaints that are prominent in the community right now)

  • Higher FOV prevents disorienting the player.
    (This is a big one for player retention and especially new player “impression to retention ratios”. You want the new player to avoid becoming overwhelmed and able to learn how entities in the environment are able to move and interact. Having them be so zoomed in greatly reduces their ability to adapt and absorb knowledge of the new title, and causes them to feel frustrated and cheated due to being overwhelmed by engagements. )

  • Considers the health and ability for users affected by motion sickness, vertigo and
    Low FOVs.

Agreed. Bump. We need a higher fov

I do agree that there needs to be atleast an option to change the FOV

Rather have this fov than what we have now or at least give us this as an option, it's already in game but only when I spectate someone

That's too much character. A third of the screen is crazy.

Any updates on when we will have FOV slider?

I enjoyed the FOV settings from the beginning of early access. Not sure why they are going around fixing so many things that weren’t broken but I guess that’s what video games are made for.

I never got to experience the FOV at early access first start

Especially for a movement-based game with aerial combat. It feels like an unnecessary handicap. And with the ttk this low, if you can't see clearly, one small flank or 3rd party will immediately scuff what could have been a dynamic sequence. With more visibility, we can consistently read the playing field.

I absolutely agree with you

Did they add it?

#

Yet

#

FOV? Is that the surprise feature? 👀

#

Or am I going to be disappointed

Every time a new player joins the game they say "why is the camera so zoomed in like this, I dont like this FOV." Then they go back and play fortnite.

Out of town, so I haven’t tried it yet. Based on years of shooters, this seems like a stealth nerf to skill gap, who woulda thought?
