Field of view (FOV)[edit]
Change FOV with Cheat Engine[citation needed] |
---|
- Download and install Cheat Engine.
- Download the WSGF attachment.
- Use the included Cheat Table file to adjust the FOV values.
|
Change FOV with hex edit[citation needed] |
---|
- Open
d3dx9_25.dll with a hex editor such as HxD. - Go to offset
0x3F9A9 . - Replace bytes
00 00 80 BF with bytes representing your float value multiplier at a negative value (default multiplier is -1.0). Remember to invert the byte order to Little Endian.
Notes - Use this online float to hex converter.
- If the code is replaced with the command to jump to allow the extending of vertical fov at
0x3F9A9 , replace bytes 00 00 80 3F at 0x1F8F3A with bytes representing your float value multiplier in a positive value (default multiplier here is 1.0). - FOV multiplier values lower than -0.75 or 0.75 will also cause blue clipping on geometry.

Local play | 2 | Versus The PC version supports 4 player gameplay like the console versions without issues. However, the developers decided to disallow 4 players in the game's menu code and did not implement reading of inputs for players 3 and 4 (their input data is still stored). Through hacking, playing 4 players is possible.[5] |
