If you are getting light headaches or feeling a bit of motion sickness while playingOnce Humanon PC, it might be because of the low FoV setting enforced by default. The camera is zoomed too much into your character, and the screen space on the sides is quite limiting. The low FoV will especially affect your gameplay once youbuild your first vehicle.
Playing witha wider FoV (or field of view)increases the amount of space you can see on your screen. It also gives you a closer perspective to real life, at least with the right FoV values and when playing at high 4K resolutions. Unfortunately,Once Humandoes not make it easy to change the field of view. Similar toBethesda ignoring FoV slidersin its games,Once Humanforces you to go on a discovery quest to change your FoV.
Can You Increase Field of View (FoV) in Once Human?
Once Humandoes not allow you to change your field of view, at least not in the traditional way. The in-game settings do not have a FoV slider to increase your peripheral vision, and the config file does not contain any options you cannot already access inOnce Human.
Once Humansaves a graphics config file on your system, which can be found in the following location: steam\steamapps\common\once human\documents\graphicconfig.
Because of the limited options, if you are looking to tweak the graphics settings toget the best performance, you should do it in the game instead of editing the config file.
How to Increase Field of View (FoV) in Once Human
What you can do is increase the distance between the camera and the character inOnce Human. Head into the pause menu by pressing Escape and then select Settings. Scroll down the Mouse/Display tab and setCamera Distance to 100. You will now be able to see your full character,and driving vehicleswill feel much more comfortable. You will also increase your vision space, but the difference is nothing significant.
Once Humanforces a default FoV setting of 55 degrees. Increasing the camera distance, as shown in the images below, mostly increases the vision space at the bottom of the screen. The sides and top gain only a few additional degrees.
Beyond the minor improvement gained by changing the camera distance, there is nothing else you’re able to do at the time of writing to increase your FoV setting inOnce Human. Getting a 90 FoV remains a dream unless you are willing to try a cheat engine. That, however, comes at the serious risk of being permanently banned.
Keep your fingers crossed that developer Starry Studio adds an official FoV slider with the next major update. There is a long list of improvements players are hoping to arrive soon, including optimizations for better PC performance.
