Is there a way to lower the camera in a car? Can't see the steering wheel. :p

That sounds more like a screen overscan issue than a camera issue.

 

You should definitely be able to see the steering wheel, or at least the top half of it (including characters hands)

Yes, I do see their hands but I'd rather be able to see the whole wheel if possible.

BTW. nice tips in the OP, you're a day-saver!

It seems that the first person camera in vehicles is fixed so that you see roughly the top half of the wheel, although you can move the camera around n the car - up, down, left or right - to get a better view.

Some wheels are hiding the speedometer, maybe this is because of this.

do you guys also have the problem that you only can run in first person mode while playing with keyboard?

Yup.

The worst is that walking in FP is totally working, just go to the stripclub (where walking is forced by the game)

and it works fine. This could be easily fixed in an update.

I had already shut all this nonsense off, but i respect that youre here to inform those that may not have realised what these settings mean

 

 

Nice one

I kinda gave up on first person while on foot

 

Oh I bet. And I'm sure that the fact it feels like sh*t (initially) to play was the biggest contributing factor in that.

 

Turned out working perfect for me. Thank you for the settings :)

Now we just need a better FOV slider. Not going to use the mod.

Excellent. I am glad I was able to help.

 

I agree that the FOV slider is lacking. It feels pretty low even in the console version, let alone the PC version I bet.

Bump and many thanks, daltontigerboy.

 

This greatly improved the first person.

 

A definite must for anyone that plays FPS on PC. Although I was becoming accustomed to the Auto Level feature :lol:

Well you can duck in the car with the down button on a gamepad d-pad (dunno the pc key) but that's more for not getting murderized,

 

Also to the person asking about the ADS, once you put in in ADS with scroll, it stays as the default aim mode, it's just so that you can switch, I guess some people prefer the white dot

Now the only thing we need from Rockstar is more FOV options.

 

I'm tempted to try the FOV mod, but considering it acts like a memory hack it could get banned. But I've no idea about Rockstar's anti-cheat detection.

Not going to risk at this time.

Maybe for offline to test?

Thanks for the feedback, bigsky2.

 

I'm happy that this info could reach you. One more person that can see this and change this ridiculous setting is one more person who can potentially enjoy playing this game in First Person.

I submitted a ticket to R* with the walking in first person issue and this is what I got:

"We certainly understand your concern regarding the issue.

We would like to inform you that the game is designed in this manner as you are experiencing. Also, we suggest you to check the game settings.

Please let us know if you have any other concerns, So that we will assist you further."

I wonder if they realize that they are hindering the first person experience of their game for millions of people because of this setting.

 

Smh, if these robotic support reps knew what we were talking about, then maybe they'd forward our concerns to Edinburgh for investigation. There's absolutely no way that this was a conscious design choice to make the First Person mode feel like dogsh*t.

I'm not seeing any difference with this setting turned off. My camera certainly isn't auto-centering back to eye level. With this setting turned on, I can walk/run all day with my camera pointed at the sky & it will not return to eye level, unless I move the mouse to bring the camera back to that level.

 

 

Bugged, or did I get lucky?

The only thing keeping me from using first person mode is the horrible FOV. It's like im looking through a roll of toilet paper.

FYI, there are some actual game-play limits on first person.

First that comes to mind is the tank. You cannot aim nearly as high/low in first person as you can in 3rd person.

Also, shooting behind you from a car (especially the no-rear-window cars) is impossible in first person, but possible in 3rd person.

You cannot dive underwater in FPS-view too. Had to change to 3rd person view to be able to dive underwater. So yeah, in some aspects FPS-view is a bit half assed.
