What is this?
Why, this is your ticket into getting a higher field of view on Star Wars Battlefront 1 without messing with the broken modding tools my man! By following this here guide today, you will in fact find yourself experiencing the game how it should be played, the best way to play, the zoomed out way to be made by me.
Why, is that so? Then how does one download such a gaming advantage?
Why I'm glad you asked Bill, the first step is the easiest, acquire the mod. What? Are you still here?? Oh gosh, this is embarrassing.... You see, you were meant to pop off to either the Nexus or ModDB page found here:

Nexus Mods:
https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsbattlefront/mods/393/

ModDB:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/star-wars-battlefront-1-field-of-view-enhancer

Vehicles are also now supported too! Either download one with Global Fov, or get the Vehicle Fov 90 versions which use a lower fov for vehicles to prevent horrid vehicle clipping!! On Nexus Mods, these can be found in "Optional Files".

Now what?
Well, if you'd just read the read me you'd already know this... Sigh, but I guess I can tell you one last time. Basically, you gotta open the folder and you'll be shocked to find multiple folders. Each folder has a corresponding Fov value, all you have to do is pick the one you want, double click the folder, drag and drop the GameData folder into the root directory of SWBF1 (RightClick
SWBF1 on Steam > open properties > Local files > Browse local files to get there) and the path I have placed the folders in will do the rest. You have several Fov's to choose from, that being the defaults (70 fov first person, 65 third person), 90 fov, 100 fov, 110 fov, 120 fov and 130 fov. Just be sure to overwrite everything Gamer, or you won't find yourself with the extended vision at all!
Just like the Simulations!
You did it! By George! If you need any further help, feel free to contact me on Discord or Steam at WapourVave and https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/id/WapourVave/ respectably. I will also respond to posts on this guide as I see them. I do hope you enjoy Gamer Time thanks to this informative tutorial, buh bye!

Also a heads up, Endor has some general instability issues with modified fov's, this seems to be an issue with the map and not the mod. My advice if you encounter this is to either install a lower fov variant to play that map on and then switch back afterwards, or play Endor unmodded and switch back when you're done!
Is there not just a video for this?
There never is with these kinds of niche tutorials, but that's exactly why I've already made one for you lazy people out there! Here it is my fellow friends:

The mod is not bad, it works in the company, but crashes in the "Direct connection" mode on version 1.2

This is for SWBF1, not SWBF2. Also if its crashing on Endor specifically, its an engine limitation with too many transparent objects on the screen 😅.

Hey, I apperciate your mod, but is there a way to alter FOV without removing vehicle HUDs? I'm not saying it's related, but I just suffered a crash on Endor after a bit of playing, and I also noticed some of the wonky HUD things like the AT-ST being a turret.
