Whenever I choose a game from the list, the default FOV type is usually Multiplier and I'd like to know what actual scaling method the game uses (does it use 16:9, 4:3, Vdeg, etc).  How can I do this?  The Multiplier option gives me trouble if the games are different FOV scaling types it seems.

The default isn't usually Multiplier, actually less than 8% of the games use this. It will only switch to this if the game uses it.

And either way it should give you any issues. You can select any FOV Type (except multiplier) and enter your desired FOV, and the output will show you the correct multiplier.

What exact issues do you have with games using different FOV Types?

An example of what I want to do is use the same FOV in Overwatch and Apex.  OW's FOV is 103 and uses 16:9 FOV Scaling, but Apex uses 4:3 FOV Scaling.  The Multiplier option is selected by default for Apex and I'm not sure what to do with that so I switch to 4:3 and tweak values until the HFOV says 103 at the bottom.  I can only do this because I know how both games scale their FOV, but for games where I don't know how this is scaled I'm not sure what to do.

You're over-complicating it

The calculator does the magic for you, just do this:

Apex's FOV range goes from around 90-110 iirc, so I'm not sure how to translate the FOV from cl_fovScale 1.23.  I was looking to avoid editing the config but I'm guessing that is the way to go here, then.  OK thank you

Just do the same thing with the in-game sensitivity:

Ahh, I was overlooking the in-game setting there and only looking at the config setting.  Perfect, thanks again.
