In-Depth Description

The fov command in Valheim is used to adjust the field of view in the game to a specified number. This refers to the extent of the observable in-game world that is seen on the display at any given moment.

This can be useful for a variety of reasons and depends mainly on your play style and personal preference.

To change the field of view, you simply type fov followed by the desired number into the console. For example, fov 60 would set the field of view to 60 degrees.

A lower value will make the game world appear closer, but your peripheral vision will be decreased. A higher value, on the other hand, will allow you to see more of your surroundings at once, but things will appear more distant.

This command could be helpful in different situations. For example, when you are building or exploring, a greater field of view might be beneficial so you can see more of your surroundings.

On the other hand, when you are fighting or interacting with objects, a smaller field of view could provide you with greater detail.

Quick Overview

The fov command adjusts how much of the game world you can see on your screen at once in Valheim.

By default, the field of view is set to a certain value, but you can change it with this command to suit your preferences.

The higher the number you specify, the more you'll be able to see on your screen at once, though this can distort the graphics somewhat.

The lower the number, the less you'll see, making the game world appear more zoomed in.

This command is useful if you're playing on a monitor of an unusual size or shape, or if you just prefer a different field of view from the default setting.
