# When it's finished unpacking, open the <code>datafile_big</code> folder that was created in the <code>data</code> folder.

# Open <code>camera.txt</code> with Notepad, and click Edit → Replace.
 +
# Type <code>FOV = "43"</code> in the '''Find''', and <code>FOV = "63"</code> in the '''Replace''' (change 63 to desired FOV) and click '''Replace All'''.

# Some other cameras use <code>FOV = "45"</code> which can also be replaced, such as in the <code>cVehicleBehaviorCam PushableCam</code> section.

# Save the file.

# Drag the <code>datafile_big</code> folder and place it onto <code>Gibbed.DeadRising2.Pack.exe</code>. This will create a new file called <code>datafile_big.big</code>.

  2. Place the files: DR2Hookary.asi & DR2Hookary.ini into the root of your Dead Rising 2 installation folder.
  3. Download the 32-bit version of Ultimate ASI Loader.
  4. Place the file: dinput8.dll into the root of your Dead Rising 2 installation folder.
  5. Open file: DR2Hookary.ini and set the options to your liking and save the file once you have done so.
  6. Start up the game and you should now see the changes in effect.

Field of view (FOV)

Use Gibbed.DeadRising2.Tools[7][8]
  1. Download Gibbed.DeadRising2.Tools and extract it somewhere.
  2. Go to the Dead Rising 2 Off the Record installation folder, and open the data folder.
  3. Drag datafile.big and place it onto Gibbed.DeadRising2.Unpack.exe.
  4. When it's finished unpacking, open the datafile_big folder that was created in the data folder.
  5. Open camera.txt with Notepad, and click Edit → Replace.
  6. Type FOV = "43" in the Find, and FOV = "63" in the Replace (change 63 to desired FOV) and click Replace All.
  7. Some other cameras use FOV = "45" which can also be replaced, such as in the cVehicleBehaviorCam PushableCam section.
  8. Save the file.
  9. Drag the datafile_big folder and place it onto Gibbed.DeadRising2.Pack.exe. This will create a new file called datafile_big.big.
  10. Backup the original datafile.big by renaming it to something else.
  11. Rename datafile_big.big to datafile.big.

Notes

Vehicles have a modifier that decreases FOV by -7 when moving at full speed. Changing this to 0 in each entry will stabilize the FOV.
