How to permanently change my Field of view

[Spiffyman]

I have these two lines added to both my inis under [General]:

 

 

fdefaultfov=80
 fDefaultWorldFOV=80

 

However, those don't change my fov at all ingame. I have to open the console and type fov 80 every time I start the game. Anyone know know how to fix that?

follow the direction's in STEP Chapter 5 Section B Hint 1 (page 20)

In SkyrimPrefs.ini:

[General]

fDefaultFOV=80

 

In Skyrim.ini:

 

 

[General]

fDefaultFOV=80

 

[Display]

fDefaultWorldFOV=80

fDefault1stPersonFOV=80

 

that's what I do (except I use 75) and it seems to work. You can lower fDefault1stPersonFOV if you want less of your charactermodel to show in 1st person (65 = default for that). Used to be a bug that when you opened map that value would reset, not sure if it's still around as I keep them all the same

Figures it's in the only part of the step guide I didn't read (I stopped at the z-fighting part in Technical hints). Guess this was a pointless thread then. :P
