How to Change the FOV
By Soüp
So just days after posting the basic Cheat Engine FOV mod, a Flawless Widescreen plugin has been released! This is a much more extensive and user-friendly fix that's far less prone to glitches so I've updated the guide to reference this one instead.

Flawless Widescreen
Download Flawless Widescreen[flawlesswidescreen.org] which is a general FOV mod program that features fixes for a variety of different games. With the program open, scroll down the plugin list on the left to find LEGO SW: Skywalker Saga and click on it. It should download and move to the top of the list under Installed Plugins automatically. Select it and configure to your liking. I recommend turning all the Individual Fixes except the FOV Fix off unless you're using an ultrawide monitor, since they can cause various visual glitches and serve no purpose on standard 16:9 displays anyway.

And that's it! As long as the "Fix Enabled" checkbox is checked, it will automatically apply the fix when both Flawless Widescreen and the game are running.

You may experience a few minor visual glitches while using Flawless Widescreen with this game, but nothing that should get in the way of the experience. You can always alt+tab and disable the mod temporarily if necessary.
The FOV value
The Flawless Widescreen plugin allows you to increase the FOV by a percentage rather than specifying an exact value, since it adjusts multiple different FOV values. The game's default (vertical!) FOV is 48.7° vertical, or somewhere in the range of 76-77° horizontal on a 16:9 display.
Setting the FOV adjustment to +21% gives you about 59°, which translates to a standard horizontal FOV of 90° on a typical 16:9 display. This should be a good value for most people, but you can increase it higher if you like. I also turned the Max FOV slider down to 70 since I thought that sprinting was widening the FOV a bit too much.

Conclusion
I hope this guide helps some of the many people who have complained about this game's low FOV since its release. If there is ever another game update, the mod will likely need to be updated to support it so please be patient.

Necro, I know. But wanted to add, VAC isn't used with Skywalker Saga. It is always explicitly listed on the store page, and not a single Lego game includes it. To add to that, it doesn't even have an anti cheat, so (within legality), modify to your hearts content.

Thank you!

@Rican There's really no risk from VAC when using this. Flawless Widescreen only interacts with games that you specifically activate plugins for and VAC really only cares about known cheating tools anyway.

This looks amazing. Can't play without getting motion sick. Scared to try this though as I don't want to be vac banned by leaving it running without realizing it's still on.

This works just perfectly! It's PCMR curse to fix simple issues from inept developers.

Guide updated to use the far superior Flawless Widescreen plugin which was released just 4 days after I posted the Cheat Engine mod.

@120 BPM Why would you need to go into offline mode on Steam? You just need to make sure you don't have any games running that use anti-cheat. VAC is only active while a protected game is running like any other anti-cheat systems, excepting those invasive kernel-level anti-cheat programs that have found their way into a few games recently. Still, it seems extremely unlikely you'd get banned from a game just from having Cheat Engine open unless you actually attempt to use it on the protected game.

WARNING!! For any potential user of this mod - You HAVE TO go offline mode on steam before launching cheat engine, as VAC will detect it running an very likely BAN the fuck out of you.

Thanks for the mod OP but please include this warning so it cannot be missed, otherwise it's just baiting people to get banned.
