Highguard developer Wildlight has just pushed out a new update for the free-to-play hero shooter on PlayStation, Xbox and PC (via Steam).

On the same day as the launch of a major new Marvel Rivals update, Wildlight has responded with a patch containing one or two crucial gameplay changes and fixes.

As you can see from the Highguard update 1.0.4 patch notes further down the page, the new download adds FoV sliders for consoles, something that fans have been keen to see since this week's launch.

Elsewhere, the new Highguard update introduces toggle options for ADS and Crouch, which means no more holding down the button (something that's especially useful for crouching).

Likewise, Highguard update 1.0.4 adds new video settings, including the "View Distance Quality" option.

The Highguard developer has confirmed that the ability to disable Motion Blur and Depth of Field will be added in a future update, but only when it can be done safely.

One thing that is worth noting is that not all of the new settings have been localised outside of English, so international players might have to wait for some of the changes to show.

Game Input Settings

* Added the ability to set Crouch to Hold or Toggle for all platforms.

* Added the ability to set Aim Down Sights to Hold or Toggle for PC only (for now).

- Toggling into ADS then tapping Sprint (shift on PC, left stick on controller) will swap your scope. This is disorienting on controller.

- PC players are recommended to rebind scope swap if using Toggle ADS.

* Low scalability settings for shadows and reflections are tuned for even more performance at the cost of some image quality.

* Low shadow setting now also disables volumetric fog.

* Added a new "View Distance Quality" setting that controls skeletal mesh LODs, which can be another useful control to tune GPU and CPU usage.

* Players now have the ability to toggle the following features on or off, irrespective of other quality options:

* DLSS users now have the ability to select a DLSS preset. More presets and better descriptions are coming in the next patch.

* Players can now select Off to disable Global Illumination entirely.

* Resolved an engine bug which could inadvertently throttled laptop users to 60 FPS regardless of frame rate settings.

Crash and Bug Fixes

* Leaving a match on PS5 with an unexpected input state.

* Loading into matches on machines with slower storage devices.

* A number of other bugs related to online user presence and matchmaking were also resolved.

* Friends now appear online correctly after accepting requests, and Xbox presence updates properly. Major crash fixes have reduced crashes by 90%, significantly improving stability.

* Friend status is fixed - players now appear online correctly and Xbox presence updates reliably. Our top crash issues are gone resulting in a 90% crash reduction.
