KOTAMON Settings Guide

Use the new mouse-smoothing and FOV controls, understand the current resolution gap, and try a reversible fullscreen launch option.

Mouse smoothing and FOV are now in Settings

Install the August 22 update or newer before following old configuration advice. The developer added an in-game switch for mouse smoothing and an FOV control, so external file edits are no longer the first step for either request.

SettingCurrent answer
Mouse smoothingCan be turned off in the game settings after the August 22 update.
Field of viewCan be changed in the same current settings menu.
Mouse sensitivityNot addressed in that official announcement; use the controls visible in your current build.
ResolutionThe announcement does not add a resolution selector, and players continue to report only fullscreen/windowed choices.

A safe order for camera changes

  1. Update and restart the game so the new controls are present.
  2. Open Settings and turn mouse smoothing off if you want direct camera movement.
  3. Adjust FOV in small increments and test it in the yard before changing anything else.
  4. Change one control at a time so you can tell which setting improved or worsened the feel.

Fullscreen resolution workaround

For a fixed fullscreen resolution, one Steam player reports success with Unity launch arguments. In Steam, open KOTAMON Properties, find Launch Options, and enter the example below for 2560×1440 fullscreen.

-screen-width 2560 -screen-height 1440 -screen-fullscreen 1
Keep in mindThis is a reversible community workaround, not a developer-published KOTAMON setting. Remove the launch-option text to return control to the game. It does not solve the separate request for a freely resizable window.

What not to change first

The same discussion includes Windows Registry edits, but they are unnecessary for a first attempt and harder to undo safely. Use the current in-game controls and the removable Steam launch option before considering system-level changes.

Can I disable mouse smoothing in KOTAMON?

Yes. The August 22 update added a mouse-smoothing switch to the in-game settings.

Can I change KOTAMON FOV?

Yes. The same update added an FOV control in Settings.

Can I choose a windowed resolution?

No developer-published window-size control was found in the current update. A fullscreen launch option is reported to work, but a freely resizable window remains unresolved in the reviewed sources.
