First person view too close

**xshadow** · 08-04-11, 01:42 PM

When I start a game I got this weird view on first person it looks zoom in. It shows half weapon view not full but when I use pistol I don't see my own hands!

Anyone know how to change back to normal? I don't like this view! I tried verify the game cache and it still looks same.

Looks normal to me

nothing wrong with the game there, thats the default field of view for l4d2 (even though it is ridiculously close).

it is changeable though, open up the console and type "cl_viewmodelfovsurvivor ##" with ## being a number value. the default is 54 on pc, 56 on xbox. i use 65 personally, any higher and i find the glitched shoulders to be extremely distracting

It's also probably a result of your custom skins/models.

I looked again and yep, it still looks normal to me :waves:

Try increasing the field of view, and maybe your resolution if you can.

cl_viewmodelfovsurvivor ## will probably help. Replace ## with the number, the higher that number, the smaller the guns.
