(→Audio settings: Dolby guy on GDC2017-002 presentation called this atmos type this way. Not sure if this shouldn't be better mentioned in the good old EAX field. Also, I guess like "exclusivity" of sound is to be mentioned somewhere) |

Field of view (FOV)
- This game uses vertical FOV. See FOV Calculator for help.
- SWBF Cinematic Tools can also be used to override FOV.
- Higher FOV values slow mouse movement. In addition, each vehicle has its own custom FOV modifier, which is a multiplier based on what you set. Due to this some vehicles, most notably the speeder bike are essentially unplayable at high (100-110) FOV values. It's recommended to lower the FOV while playing levels featuring those vehicles. Luckily it can be changed on the fly without a map restart.
