Field of view (FOV)[edit]

Change FOV with Cheat Engine[citation needed]
  1. Download and install Cheat Engine.
  2. Download the WSGF attachment.
  3. Use the included Cheat Table file to adjust the FOV values.
Change FOV with hex edit[citation needed]
  1. Open d3dx9_25.dll with a hex editor such as HxD.
  2. Go to offset 0x3F9A9.
  3. 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.

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]
