The Ascent: Ultrawide Monitors FOV Fix (Steam Version)

For anyone gaming on any sort of Utlrawide and suffering from the game being too zoomed in. I finally have a fix for you that does not involve downloading unsigned executables, making AV exceptions or turning off your Windows Defender.

All you need is the official Universal Unreal Engine 4 Unlocker and one command in the console to achieve greater FOV and make the game playable again.

NOTE: This only works on the STEAM version of the game. Gamepass version is not supported.

What you need?

This only works on the STEAM version of the game. This method will not work on the Gamepass version.
You need to go and download Universal Unreal Engine 4 Unlocker from here[framedsc.github.io].

Injecting UUU into TheAscent’s process

Load up the game like you usually do and start your story.
Alt-Tab out of the game
Launch the UUU by running UuuClient.exe
Next to the In Process to inject to: field. Hit the Select button
You should see the game in that list of processes:
Select TheAscent-Win64-Shipping.exe and click Inject DLL
You should see the UUU Window change with more options and the icon of the game should appear to the left of the panel showing that it is indeed injected:
Now you simply go back to the game, and press the ~ key on your keyboard to open the console.
Type fov 80 or whatever number you desire and hit ENTER.
Enjoy the game 🙂
