Steps to Modify FOV Settings in Enhanced GTA V for PC

Rockstar Games has made a significant update to the PC version of **GTA V** by introducing ray-tracing support, advanced upscaling technologies, and all previously exclusive console content. This new iteration, titled **GTA V Enhanced**, promises a visually stunning experience, leveraging features like Real-Time Global Illumination (RTGI) to enhance graphics while maintaining impressive performance across various PC setups.

Despite these advancements, certain features remain unchanged. Players are still unable to modify the field of view (FOV) in **GTA V**.While first-person mode allows for minor adjustments, the FOV still remains relatively constricted. Fortunately, modder Rose has provided an improved mod to tackle this limitation. Below, we outline the steps to adjust the FOV in **GTA V Enhanced**.

How to Adjust the FOV in GTA V Enhanced

To effectively change the FOV in both third-person and first-person perspectives in **GTA V Enhanced**, you will use the **Flawless Widescreen** utility alongside Rose’s patch from the widescreen community.

It’s important to note that this modification is exclusive to the story mode; using it will require disabling the **Battleye anti-cheat system**, thus preventing access to **GTA Online** while the patch is active.

Disabling Battleye in the Rockstar Launcher

To proceed with the FOV modification, you must first disable **Battleye** to avoid detection when using the patch, which could potentially lead to a ban in **GTA Online**.Remember, this method is strictly intended for the offline story mode. Disabling Battleye is a simple process:

Open the **Rockstar Launcher** on your PC.
Select **SETTINGS** located at the top right corner.
Navigate to the **General** tab and uncheck the **Battleye** option.

Once this is done, **Battleye** will be deactivated for **GTA V Enhanced**, and you will need to reactivate it to play **GTA Online**.

Downloading and Installing Flawless Widescreen

Next, to load Rose’s patch for **GTA V Enhanced**, you will need to download the **Flawless Widescreen** utility:

Visit the official Flawless Widescreen download page and download the latest software version.
Run **Flawless Widescreen** to complete the initialization process.

Now, it’s time to obtain Rose’s patch.

Downloading Rose’s GTA V Enhanced Patch

Rose has developed a comprehensive patch that enhances the FOV for both third-person and first-person modes, improves driving views, and eliminates pillarboxing during ultrawide cutscenes.

Go to the Nexus Mods link (remember to create a free account if you don’t already have one).
Download the zip file containing the patch.

Installing the Patch and Adjusting the FOV

Extract the downloaded patch file into the whereabouts of **Flawless Widescreen**.The typical directory is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flawless Widescreen

Select all desired fixes under the **Individual Fixes** section.
Launch **GTA V Enhanced** while ensuring **Flawless Widescreen** is running in the background.
After entering story mode, minimize the game and adjust the FOV sliders according to your preferences.

You are now equipped with the knowledge to alter the FOV settings in **GTA V Enhanced** based on your preferred play style. Please keep in mind that this tool is strictly for offline story mode and should not be used in **GTA Online**.

All credit for these innovative solutions goes to the talented modder Rose for creating and refining the FOV patch.

Disabling the FOV Patch

Once you have completed the story mode and wish to disable the FOV patch, simply open **Flawless Widescreen** and uncheck the **Fix Enabled** option at the top of the window. Don’t forget to reactivate **Battleye** to access **GTA Online** once more.

The **GTA V Enhanced** update is a remarkable enhancement, bringing console-exclusive visual features and expanding them for PC players. Rockstar’s decision to release it as a separate download on Steam ensures that users with older hardware can continue enjoying the legacy version.
