Uninstall

To uninstall the DLC and revert to the vanilla game version, simply replace all downloaded files with your backups. If this doesn't work, you can verify the integrity of the game files within your Steam library. If verifying still does not work, you will need to reinstall the game.

UserMP Configuration

Re-apply Your Keybinds In-Game

After updating the "UserMP.ini" file, re-apply your keybinds within the game.

Mouse Sensitivity Settings

A new sensitivity modifier has been added to the "UserMP.ini" file. The default sensitivity has been changed from 2000.0 to 200.0. To modify this value, follow these steps:

  1. With "UserMP.ini" open, press Ctrl + F to open the search box.

  2. Type Alias=XSens into the text field, then press Enter. This will bring you to the following line:

ini
Aliases[19]=(Command="Axis aMouseX Speed=200.0",Alias=XSens)
  1. Modify this line, replacing 200.0 with your chosen value.

  2. Save the file, either by pressing Ctrl + S or choosing "File > Save" from the menu bar.

Field of View Settings

A new FOV modifier has been added and is bound to the - (minus) key and Up D-Pad button on controller. It uses FOV values from the console version. To modify these FOV values, follow these steps:

  1. With "UserMP.ini" open, press Ctrl + F to open the search box.

  2. Type Alias=FOV into the text field, then press Enter. This will bring you to the following line:

ini
Aliases[21]=(Command="set PlayerController DesiredFOV 75|set PlayerController DefaultFOV 75|set PlayerController ForegroundFovAngle 70|set PlayerController DefaultForegroundFOV 70", Alias=FOV)
  1. Replace 75 in both places it occurs with a background FOV value of your choice, between 0 and 180.

  2. Replace 70 in both places it occurs with a foreground (weapon) FOV value of your choice, between 0 and 180.

  3. Save the file, either by pressing Ctrl + S or choosing "File > Save" from the menu bar.

FOV Details

  • DesiredFOV and DefaultFOV adjust the background (map/world) FOV.
  • ForegroundFOVAngle and DefaultForegroundFOV adjust the foreground (weapon/viewmodel) FOV.
  • The FOV values have been changed from 75/60 (PC FOV) to 75/70 (XBOX/PS3 FOV).

📝 Note

The background FOV always changes when the keybind is pressed. However, the foreground FOV may or may not change immediately; it will take effect after the player dies once and respawns.

Mouse Acceleration Fix

The mouse acceleration fix has been automatically applied to your UserMP.ini under the MoveForward alias. This includes the MouseAccelThreshold and MouseSmoothingMode values.
