{{ii}} Default Viewmodel FOV is 50.

Weapon FOV

Since the in-game FOV setting doesn't adjust weapon FOV, you can end up with huge looking weapons. Try the following fixes to correct this:

Default Viewmodel FOV is 50.
Changing this cause weapon textures to load slowly.
This is no perfect solution and can look bugged.[1]
Autoexec.cfg[2]
  1. Create autoexec.cfg in <path-to-game> if not present already.
  2. Add line r_weapon_fov X where X is the desired value.
Command line argument[3]

Use r_weapon_fov X command line argument where X is the desired value.

Console command[3]
  1. Press Ctrl+~ and enter r_weapon_fov X where X is the desired value.

Frame rate (FPS)

FPS Cap
  1. Create autoexec.cfg in <path-to-game> if not present already.
  2. Add line r_max_fps X where X is the maximum framerate you want to lock on.

Disable lens dirt

Post process lens dirt toggle[4]
  1. Open the console (Ctrl+~).
  2. Type in pp_lens_dirt_enable 0.
  3. Type in pp_lens_flare_enable 0 if certain effects look buggy.

Permanent corpses and debris

Edit config file[5][6]
  1. Open %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Flying Wild Hog\Shadow Warrior 2\profiles\<user-id>\config.cfg
  2. At the bottom, add the line r_dissolve_time "2000" (or another high number) and save.
  3. Make the file read-only (right-click -> Properties).
Very high settings might slow performance down.
Read-only has to be removed if you want to change further settings from the main menu.

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/324800/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (324800) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.

    This worked. It seems the last object has tendency to spawn in same spawn point as any of the previous ones which causes this bug.
