Tried playing DS the other night and gave up before the first checkpoint because the FOV is so ridiculously low, it is like having zoom permanently on and is basically unplayable. Anyone know of a way to raise it, I tried an app called 'Widescreen Fixer' but that just crashed it when I pressed the hotkey.

Thanks.
 
I think with Dead space 1 you cannot change the FOV with a command i think Widescreen Fixer is the only way of making the FOV better.

The only thing i can think of with Widescreen fixer is to make sure you have these installed:
Microsoft .NET Framework v4.0
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86 and/or x64)

Will have to try Widescreen Fixer out for myself as i have only played Deadspace for a little while before the Narrow FOV drove me mad :).
 
yes you do this

Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\EA Games\Dead Space 3\system.txt
Search for the line Window.FOVScale
Change the value from 1.00000000 to a higher one (default FOV is around 75 degrees).
Save your changes.

i have my vsync off and FOV @ 1.2
 
FOV at 1.2 is the best for 1920x1080 otherwise it just doesn't suit the game i found....and i usually have high FOV in fps games.
 
Remember this is Dead Space not Dead Space 3 - there is no Window.FOVScale option that I can find in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Electronic Arts\Dead Space\settings.txt , which seems to be the equivalent configuration file. I tried adding it manually to no avail.
