Open Source ESO FoV Modifier

UPDATE (2014-06-07): This tool has been superseded by my new one. Please find the details here.

By popular demand… This is just a basic FoV modifier for ESO because Zenimax still haven’t put a FoV slider into the game, and all the current alternatives are closed source. I may expand this in the future to offer other features like some of the other tools do, or maybe I won’t. It depends on user demand, how much time I have, and simply whether or not I feel like it.

This initial release was hacked together very quickly and is not tested very thorougly, so please let me know if you encounter any issues.

I’ll try to make note of updates here (and perhaps make a new post entirely if it’s a significant update), but I may forget so please shoot me a message if that happens.

Initial release: esomod-20140530-2342.zip

Instructions:

Download the newest binary archive and extract anywhere. Run from the command line like so: “esomod.exe -f fov_in_deg”, where fov_in_deg is the FoV you want to set in degrees.

You typically do not need to run this tool as admin, unless you’re running ESO as admin.

If you get errors about missing CRT DLLs you probably need to download and install this:
