Palworld – Fix For Ultrawide/Super Ultrawide FOV

Palworld has recently entered the gaming scene in Early Access, and while it’s creating quite a buzz, ultrawide and super ultrawide monitor users have encountered a minor setback regarding the Field of View (FOV).

With a maximum FOV of 90, some users find the camera too close to the character. In this blog, we’ll explore a workaround to address this issue until the developers provide a permanent solution or an increased FOV slider.

The issue with FOV in Palworld

For those diving into Palworld with ultrawide or super ultrawide monitors, the FOV of 90 may not be ideal.

The proximity of the camera to the character can impact the overall gaming experience. Luckily, there’s a simple fix to enhance your FOV and make your Palworld adventure more enjoyable.

The FOV Fix

Follow these steps to adjust your FOV and elevate your Palworld gaming experience:

Video Game Settings Preparation: Before making any changes, ensure all your video game settings are set up as desired. This prevents any complications when adjusting the FOV later on.

Navigate to the Config Folder: Open a new Explorer window using the shortcut Win + R, then copy and paste the following:

• %localappdata%\Pal\Saved\Config\Windows

Alternatively, manually access the folder:

• C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Pal\Saved\Config\Windows

Open the Engine.ini File: Inside the Windows folder, locate and open the “Engine.ini” file.

Insert FOV Adjustment Text: Paste the following block of text at the bottom of the “Engine.ini” file:

• [/script/engine.localplayer]

• AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV

Optional Step to Fix FOV (if needed):

If the game overrides the file and removes the added text lines, make the “Engine.ini” file read-only. Right-click on the file, go to “Properties,” check “Read-only” at the bottom, click “Apply,” and then save the changes.

Save and Reopen the Game: Save the “Engine.ini” file and reopen Palworld. Your FOV should now be adjusted, providing a better view of your surroundings.

Conclusion and Ongoing Adjustments

By following these steps, you’ve successfully improved your Palworld FOV for ultrawide and super ultrawide monitors.

If you ever need to tweak your in-game video settings, simply remove the read-only attribute from the “Engine.ini” file, restart the game, make the changes, and repeat the process.

Enhance your Palworld journey with an optimized FOV, ensuring every gaming moment is visually immersive and enjoyable.

Keep an eye out for future updates from the developers that may bring a more permanent solution to the FOV matter. Until then, game on!
