A new Atomic Heart update introduces a much-requested FOV slider for Steam FPS gaming, as well as disabling mouse acceleration on PC. The Atomic Heart 1.3.4 patch also fixes a bug that caused achievement progress to be lost, improves Nora’s save menus on ultrawide monitors, and fixes a number of other minor issues. The developers also note that official Atomic Heart Steam Deck compatibility is underway.
The previous lack of Atomic Heart’s FOV setting caused many players to avoid or quit playing the shooter, with many using the Accessibility Key tool to alleviate potential motion sickness. Luckily, you’ll now be able to change the FOV on Atomic Heart, so if you’ve been waiting for that reason, now is the time to go back.
The Atomic Heart 1.3.4 patch notes also include disabling mouse acceleration. PC gamers generally don’t prefer this feature during gameplay, as it results in inconsistent movement speeds when aiming with the mouse. If you’re playing on a widescreen 16:10 or ultra-wide 21:9 settings, you’ll be pleased to know that NORA’s storage UI has been improved at those resolutions when interacting with the dashing dashing .

Developer Mundfish has come under intense scrutiny in recent weeks after it was alleged that the Russian government would benefit financially from the release of Atomic Heart. This is because among the investors involved in funding Mundfish are GEM Capital, an investment fund whose founder has ties to Gazprom and VTB Bank, both majority-owned by the Russian state.
Mundfish is also partnering with VK (formerly Mail.RU) for the Russian release of Atomic Heart, avoiding sanctions on Steam: VK is also majority-owned by the Russian state through Gazprombank, and Mundfish’s CEO is a former director . .RU. .
With Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine, many gamers are now choosing to boycott the game in protest and donate money to organizations such as the Ukraine Crisis Appeal, the International Rescue Committee and the British Red Cross.
