Using with Controllers
This mod is designed to work with keyboard inputs directly. For controller support:
Both options allow you to map any controller button to the F3 key (or your preferred toggle key).
Default FPV Keys Explained
The default FPV keys (M, P, I, J, N) were specifically chosen because they correspond to important in-game UI interactions. These keys automatically switch the view to first-person when pressed because many game UI elements and menus can appear buggy or non-functional when accessed in third-person view.
This provides a seamless experience where pressing any UI key will automatically ensure you're in the correct camera mode for that interface. If you've remapped these keys in your game settings, you may want to update the FPV key settings to match your custom keybinds.
Empty Key Settings
For each key type, you can leave the setting empty to disable that functionality:
If all three key settings are empty, the mod will still initialize but won't monitor any keys.

Rare Camera Behavior in Specific Scene:
During the scene where Hans carries Henry (likely a story-critical moment from the game's opening), switching between first-person and third-person views can cause unexpected camera and character model behavior.
Detailed Behavior:
Impact: This issue appears to be unique to this specific scripted sequence where the character positioning is tightly controlled by the game.
Recommended Approach:
Note: This behavior seems limited to this particular story moment and does not represent a widespread mod issue.

Dependencies
This mod relies critically on the Ultimate ASI Loader by ThirteenAG, which is included in the download package. This essential component:
- Allows the mod to be injected into the game as an ASI plugin
- Handles the loading and execution of the mod when the game starts
- Makes installation simple by just placing files in the game directory
Configuration
The mod can be configured by editing the KCD2_TPVToggle.ini file:
[Settings]
; Keys that toggle between first-person and third-person view (comma-separated, in hex)
; F3 = 0x72, F4 = 0x73, E = 0x45, etc.
; If set to empty (ToggleKey = ), no toggle keys will be monitored.
ToggleKey = 0x72
; Keys that will always switch to first-person view (comma-separated, in hex)
; These keys never toggle - they only force first-person view
; If set to empty (FPVKey = ), no first-person view keys will be monitored.
; 0x4D,0x50,0x49,0x4A,0x4E = M, P, I, J, N
FPVKey = 0x4D,0x50,0x49,0x4A,0x4E
; Keys that will always switch to third-person view (comma-separated, in hex)
; These keys never toggle - they only force third-person view
; If set to empty (TPVKey = ), no third-person view keys will be monitored.

; Logging level: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR
LogLevel = INFO
Using with Controllers
This mod is designed to work with keyboard inputs directly. For controller support:
- JoyToKey: Map your controller buttons to keyboard keys configured in the INI file.
- Steam Input: If playing through Steam, use Steam's controller configuration to map controller buttons to keyboard keys.
Both options allow you to map any controller button to the F3 key (or your preferred toggle key).

Empty Key Settings
For each key type, you can leave the setting empty to disable that functionality:
- Setting
ToggleKey =will disable the toggle feature - Setting
FPVKey =will disable automatic switching to first-person view - Setting
TPVKey =will disable explicit switching to third-person view
If all three key settings are empty, the mod will still initialize but won't monitor any keys.

Known Issues and Limitations
Camera and View Limitations:
- Camera may clip through objects in third-person view (no collision detection)
- Some game events or menus may temporarily be buggy in third-person view (menus, map, dialog...)
- Workaround: Use the default FPV keys (M, P, I, J, N) to automatically switch to first-person view when using these features
- Workaround: Use the default FPV keys (M, P, I, J, N) to automatically switch to first-person view when using these features
Rare Camera Behavior in Specific Scene:
During the scene where Hans carries Henry (likely a story-critical moment from the game's opening), switching between first-person and third-person views can cause unexpected camera and character model behavior.
Detailed Behavior:
- The scene uses a forced camera perspective with specific positioning
- Switching to third-person view may rotate Henry's body incorrectly
- Returning to first-person view might not restore the original camera positioning
Impact: This issue appears to be unique to this specific scripted sequence where the character positioning is tightly controlled by the game.
Recommended Approach:
- Keep the game in first-person view during this specific scene
- Avoid toggling camera views until the scene completes
- If you accidentally switch views, you may need to reload the previous save
- Temporary Solution: Simply rename
KCD2_TPVToggle.asitoKCD2_TPVToggle.bakor remove it from your game directory
Note: This behavior seems limited to this particular story moment and does not represent a widespread mod issue.
General Limitations:
- The third-person camera uses the game's experimental implementation and may not be perfect
- Currently only tested with the Steam version of the game
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues:
- Set LogLevel = DEBUG in the INI file
- Check the log file in your game directory (KCD2_TPVToggle.log)
- After a game update, you may need to update the AOB pattern in the INI file
- If using JoyToKey or Steam Input, verify your controller mappings are correct
