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
All credit goes to Benjamin !
Ini’s are located in:
- C:\Users{Your Name}\Documents\My Games\Starfield
Mouse aiming feels off because of mouse acceleration:
Open StarfieldPrefs.ini
In the [Controls] section of both files, add this line:
bMouseAcceleration=0In the [Display] section, add the following lines:
fDefaultWorldFOV=90
fDefault1stPersonFOV=90You can change this value to whatever value you prefer. I picked 90 in this case.
I recommend opening your Starfield install directory and editing Starfield.ini as well if you run starfield from steam it should be here:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starfield
Add the following lines:
[Controls]
bMouseAcceleration=0Under [Display] add the following lines:
fDefaultWorldFOV=90
fDefault1stPersonFOV=90
If it keeps changing your ini file:
Right-click –> Properties –> Check “Read Only”
Does this disable achievements?
No, this does not disable achievements
You’d think they’d learned by now how important FOV is for pc. Thanx tho my eyes are gratefull.
Fyi you can just have people copy and paste `%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\Starfield` into their address bar to make it easier
Real fix to fov is too create a file “StarfieldCustom.ini” in the same folder as StarfieldPrefs.ini and add the following lines
[Camera]
fFPWorldFOV=110
fTPWorldFOV=110
This won’t work as the game seems to reset the setting to default any time I try to reload the ini files in game.
I got it to work, but ensure that you are setting the .ini files to read-only afterward or it will revert.
Note – StarfieldPrefs.ini could instead be located at the location below depending on your filesystem configuration.
C:\Users\$YourName$\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\Starfield
