Ultra-widescreen

Fix aspect ratio^[3]
Windows: Go to `<path-to-game>\Binaries\Win32\`. Linux: Go to `<path-to-game>\bin\`. Open Windows:`LifeIsStrange.exe`, Linux:`LifeIsStrange` with a hex editor such as HxD. Find the hex values `39 8E E3 3F`. Change it to your aspect ratio (e.g. `CD 90 18 40` for 21:9). Change the in-game FOV to `83.93` (see Field of view (FOV)).

Field of view (FOV)

Bind FOV to key^[4]
Go to Windows:`<path-to-game>\LifeIsStrangeGame\Config\`, Linux:`<path-to-game>\share\data\lifeisstrangegame\config\` Open `DefaultInput.ini`. Add the following lines at the end of `[Engine.PlayerInput]` +Bindings=(Name="F1",Command="FOV 25") +Bindings=(Name="F2",Command="FOV 40") +Bindings=(Name="F3",Command="FOV 55") +Bindings=(Name="F4",Command="FOV 70") +Bindings=(Name="F5",Command="FOV 80") +Bindings=(Name="F6",Command="FOV 90") +Bindings=(Name="F7",Command="FOV 100") +Bindings=(Name="F8",Command="FOV 110") +Bindings=(Name="F9",Command="FOV 120") +Bindings=(Name="F10",Command="FOV 130") The original FOV for 16:9 is 25 in (some?) cut-scenes, 68 during gameplay. Run the game and try from `F1` to `F10` at any time. Notes Changing the FOV causes the interaction widget to scale incorrectly. Some visual glitches might occur during cut-scenes with increased field of view, such as some intentionally invisible parts of the screen being visible to the player.

Bind FOV to key^[4]

Go to Windows:<path-to-game>\LifeIsStrangeGame\Config\, Linux:<path-to-game>\share\data\lifeisstrangegame\config\
Open DefaultInput.ini.
Add the following lines at the end of [Engine.PlayerInput]

+Bindings=(Name="F1",Command="FOV 25")
+Bindings=(Name="F2",Command="FOV 40")
+Bindings=(Name="F3",Command="FOV 55")
+Bindings=(Name="F4",Command="FOV 70")
+Bindings=(Name="F5",Command="FOV 80")
+Bindings=(Name="F6",Command="FOV 90")

+Bindings=(Name="F8",Command="FOV 110")
+Bindings=(Name="F9",Command="FOV 120")
+Bindings=(Name="F10",Command="FOV 130")

The original FOV for 16:9 is 25 in (some?) cut-scenes, 68 during gameplay. Run the game and try from F1 to F10 at any time.

Notes

Changing the FOV causes the interaction widget to scale incorrectly.

Some visual glitches might occur during cut-scenes with increased field of view, such as some intentionally invisible parts of the screen being visible to the player.
