Launching your game
Once in-game, press ALT+TAB keys to go to desktop and navigate to your game directory and launch the file named “BG3Cam.exe”.
Modify any settings in the menu that pops up and go back in-game to see changes.
I personally didn’t modify anything here except for the FOV (field of view), the camera can be moved around to your liking with your controller or mouse/keyboard.
If the mod menu does not appear or gives an error, you might need to download .NET 7.0 Desktop Runtime (v7.0.10) – Windows x64 Installer.
Grab that here if required: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-7.0.10-windows-x64-installer?cid=getdotnetcore
