Field of view (FOV)

Field of view When running at widescreen-resolutions adjusting the fov is probably necessary. First Method: While in game, push ~ to open the developer console. Type default_fov 106.270273206 and press ↵ Enter. Second Method: Alternatively you can also open config.cfg located in Sierra\Half-Life\Valve\. Add the following to the bottom of it. For 16:10: default_fov 100.39487232 For 16:9: default_fov 106.270273206 If the new fov doesn't stick try creating an autoexec.cfg-file in the same folder and adding the line to it.

Borderless fullscreen windowed

High frame rate

Setting FPS higher than 100 Increasing the FPS is necessary to make the game seem less choppy without vsync enabled. First Method: While in game, push ~ to open the developer console. Type developer 1 and press ↵ Enter. This enables developer mode, going past the video standards of when TFC was first released. Type fps_override 1 and press ↵ Enter. This enables entering in FPS levels higher than 100. Finally type fps_max 200 and press ↵ Enter. Setting to 200 is recommended, higher values will feel floaty. Second Method: Alternatively you can also open userconfig.cfg located in the game folder (see above). Add the following to the bottom of it. developer 1 fps_override 1 fps_max 200
