Field Of View
In Console: FOV [degrees] - Changes the Field of View to the specified degrees (Awaiting Confirmation)
Full Screen Split-Screen With Dual Monitors
AMD Graphics Cards:
Enable Eyefinity mode using the two monitors you want to use. Then open Dungeon Defenders and go into the config, and change the resolution to Custom Resolution to the resolution of the eyefinity monitor you have created (E.g. 3840x1080). And change the splitscreen mode to Vertical. Launch the game. *Note that the menu will be in between the two monitors - This can be difficult to see*
Nvidia Graphics Cards:
Enable Nvidia Surround mode using the two monitors you want to use. Then open Dungeon Defenders and go into the config, and change the resolution to Custom Resolution to the resolution of the eyefinity monitor you have created (E.g. 3840x1080). And change the splitscreen mode to Vertical. Launch the game. *Note that the menu will be in between the two monitors - This can be difficult to see*
You will need at least one Game pad Controller for this. As one person can use the mouse and keyboard but the second will need a controller. See Below.
Connectivity Issues
You may receive a message "Connection to host has been lost". This is a misleading error message indicating that you do not have DLC owned by the host.
Controller support
Xbox 360 Controller support is available for Windows Version of Game
