Stop the camera from going thirdperson front view of yourself, and having your char fill 3/5th of the view with its idle animations.

NB… it does mess with your tinting perspective :slight_smile: and clothing, just like the pants, can’t be seen.

@Tiggs for the future suggested QoL ingame settings :smiley: So we mortals can toggle if we want 70% of the screen to move / render just because we open 1 chest… I highly prefer the option of 0 rather than 3, so it doesn’t change my camera view :-p makes it much more calm and cozy to quickly access and flip through multiple storages

Cool!.. So if 3 is the default and is the “selfie view” is 1 or 2 normal third person from behind? :thinking:

HACKS. Nice work @Huntsman

4 = uhm… see below…
3 = default
2 = centered looking at yourself with the front to the camera
1 = centered looking at yourself with the back to the camera
0 = the perfection… no camera change… :smiley:

figured test them while reapplying my modding again :-p had removed them when testing the desync part, to be sure nothing I had done, was distracting from the actual issue at hand.

view value of 4 is ( not sure if that even a valid value, and it isn’t just a default because no valid value present :P) :

Thanks for the info! Would you happen to know a way to increase draw distance? Even if it decreases performance, would do it for pics only if it does. Thanks.

yeah, easy to do. Just mess around with the gameoptions.json file. This one however is not located in the general game folder, but your steamaccount/gameid folder.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata<some steam id>\324510\local\user_settings\default\

In that one you can do whatever you want really, you can feks limit the game to a lower fps than 30 if you so desired… ( I do that for my gleamball spawning idle warm body accounts… aka I can run a lot more on 1 pc than I could if they were all at 30fps )

@RedY3 oh and be aware default values for a selected profile ingame is NOT shown in the config file.

So etc drawDistanceSettingsIndex":3 is one of the values you want to play with :stuck_out_tongue:

Sure you can find better results :slight_smile: was just a quick random pick of different variables to mess with…

(also crank up to max your chunk cache in network and internet speed in that… and give it a few seconds to actually receive every bit of info in the direction you are looking)

Would be nice to see inventory in the middle of screen

11

I totally agree! Was why I even looked in the files in the first place… my 38" screen… ultrawide… my eyes are extremely trained to look to the right for some reason… ( inventory… )

Straight to no minimum FPS for you.

You can trade smooth motions for better views.

13

Not sure if it will significantly hurt performance. I hope it doesn’t.

This is something I have to do! I have been waiting to use my 4k monitor to full potential and just see the beauty of the game unfold!

Wonderful! This is such a massive QoL improvement.
