    Field of view (FOV)

    Use a hex editor (Battle.net)[citation needed]
    1. Open Lava-Win64-Shipping.exe in a hex editor.
    2. Find 35 FA 0E 3C, which will appear 5 times. Replace the last occurrence with the following, depending on the aspect ratio:

      • 41 E4 52 3C for 32:9

    Note that the FOV varies widely in this game, so any static hex fix won't always scale the FOV as it scales in the unpatched game.
