{{ii}} Although the Steam version says v1.2 in the main menu, it is different from the retail v1.2 patch and has proper widescreen resolution support and some other changes compared to v1.3, updating the Steam version from its default v1.2 to v1.3 is not recommended.{{cn|date=March 24, 2024}}<ref>[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1833910581 Steam Community - "It's not the same as retail. Retail 1.2 has the same resolution issues as 1.3. Apart from resolution, I don't know what differences there are between 1.3 and 1.2 aside from "new guns" (They are in the files, they don't get used), PhysX support (Doesn't work anymore), and some new vfx (The blood stains were made comically large, and the concrete fx are now brown like dirt)."]</ref>

Essential improvements

Patches

Patch v1.3 updates the game to the latest version.
Although the Steam version says v1.2 in the main menu, it is different from the retail v1.2 patch and has proper widescreen resolution support and some other changes compared to v1.3, updating the Steam version from its default v1.2 to v1.3 is not recommended.[citation needed][3]

4K Ultra HD

Edit Video.cfg[4]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Mods\Bos\Settings and open Video.cfg with a notepad.
  2. In Video.cfg, change:
    Height_Release = XXXX.000000;
    Width_Release = XXXX.000000;
    

    To the desired resolution. Example:

    Height_Release = 2160.000000;
    Width_Release = 3840.000000;
    
  3. After changing the resolution, exit and save the config. Right-click the config and click "properties" and change the file to "read-only" so the game doesn't change the resolution while playing.

Field of view (FOV)

Edit GamePlay.cfg[5]
  1. Go to <path-to-game>\Mods\Bos\Tuning and open GamePlay.cfg with a notepad.
  2. Define FOV in the following lines:
    GameFovView1				=  XX.X
    GameFovView2				=	 XX.X
    GameFovShieldOn			=	 XX.X
    ExoFovFirstPerson		= XX.X
    
  3. Change XX.X to the desired FOV.
  4. After changing the FOV, exit and save the config. Right-click the config and click "properties" and change the file to "read-only" so the game doesn't change the FOV while playing.

Notes

GameFovView1 controls standard field of view. GameFovView2 controls zoom/aim FOV. GameFovShieldOn controls zoom/aim FOV when using a shield. ExoFovFirstPerson controls the field of view when controlling a exo/mech suit.
