Resident Evil Village was released a few days ago. It has been one of the most anticipated games of this year. While the game has been adored by many for its narrative and immersive experience, many have questioned the game’s restrictions. One of such restrictions in Resident Evil Village is the limited FOV (field-of-view) and vignette coverage. Not only Resident Evil Village, but these limitations have been an issue with the previous instalments in the franchise, too.
Not only does the limited FOV and vignette coverage ruin the immersive experience of the game, but it can also cause motion sickness for many players. Fortunately, we have a work-around for this annoying issue! In this article, we will explain how you can fix the Resident Evil Village FOV and vignette coverage issue on PC.
How To Fix The Resident Evil Village FOV & Vignette Issue On PC?
A user by the name Maceyaface on Nexus Mods has created a mod for Resident Evil Village that enables you to change the FOV and vignette coverage of the game in real-time. Additionally, there are few other features of the mod, too. You can download and install the mod from here.
Features:
Trainer:
- FOV sliders and vignette slider that update the in-game FOV and vignette in real-time,
- Separate FOV sliders for base FOV, zoom FOV, and vignette,
- Hotkey (F1) to toggle fix off for cutscenes (if that’s something you’d like),
- Update agnostic,
- Remembers the last set FOV and vignette, and auto-sets it.
HardMod Edition:
- Edits the game’s .exe file directly, so you only ever have to open the game,
- Can fix the base FOV and zoom FOV,
- Update agnostic.
What’s The Difference Between The Resident Evil Village Trainer & HardMod Edition?
Trainer:
It can dynamically change the FOV and vignette coverage of the game, quickly and easily. Based on your preference, it also has a hotkey (F1) to turn off fix for cutscenes. You can also update agnostic. However, you have to run it in the background every time you play the game.
HardMod Edition:
This is more of a permanent fix. You only need to run the game and not the mod in the background as well. It can also update agnostic but you’ll have to re-run the patch each time the game receives an update. Unlike the Trainer, it can’t change anything dynamically and there’s no hotkey for the cutscenes.
How To Install The Mod?
Trainer:
- Download the tool from the URL mentioned above.
- Open the archive and extract the file inside the folder called “Trainer” onto your computer.
- Open the tool.
- Start the game with the tool running in the background and you’ll be able to change the FOV and vignette coverage in real-time using the respective sliders.
HardMod Edition:
- Download the tool from the URL mentioned above.
- Open the archive and extract the file inside the folder called “HardModEdition” to your computer.
- Move the file into the root game directory, next to the re8.exe file.
- Open the tool and follow the prompts to change the FOV and vignette coverage as per your desire.
- Once it says “Done!“, you’re all finished. Start the game and your changes should be applied.
