FOV Sentinel

FOV Sentinel

A simple, user-facing FOV (field of view) utility. Check out the video (link).

What you can do

• []View the live engine FOV.

  []Lock the FOV to stop unwanted changes.

  []Unlock anytime to let the game decide the FOV.

  []No automation (no self-driven camera changes);

  implementing that would take significantly more effort than anticipated.

Padlock HUD Symbol

Padlock closed (locked):

• []Cyan number = locked FOV (held by the mod).

  []Yellow number (if shown) = FOV the game tried to apply (blocked).

  Padlock open (unlocked):

  • []Cyan number = current FOV (updates with the game).

    How to use

    • []Open the CET overlay.

    []Go to the Bindings tab.

    []Find this mod’s actions and bind keyboard or controller buttons.

    []Close the CET overlay and test in-game. The padlock HUD shows the current state.

    Why this matters

    The game changes FOV dynamically, and it does it a lot. With this mod you can see those shifts live, which makes the scope of the problem obvious. How disruptive it feels depends on your preferred FOV in the Graphics settings. If you play at 80, you might barely notice, because the game often snaps back to 80 anyway. But if you prefer 90 or higher, sudden drops to 80 can be jarring and break immersion. It feels like an extreme zoom you never asked for.

    Known issues while the lock is active

    • []Map icons do not move when you pan the map.

      []V appears smaller than usual in Inventory or Character Creator.

      []Holo-call partners are displayed smaller than normal.

    • V is not rendered correctly in mirrors.

    Fix: unlock the FOV. The lock is not meant to be permanently enabled. Fully automating every situation would be a major effort. I may add some automa
