FOV can't seem to change in Point Insertion and Dark Energy
Here's FOV = 75:
And here is FOV = 110:
The only thing that seems to change is viewmodel position.
The issue does not appear to persist through levels. Here's the FOV right after transitioning to Red Letter Day:
With Dark Energy however I was able to enter the level from Our Benefactors with 110 and it appears the game automatically sets and completely constraints FOV to 75:
I assumed it was because of the intro/ending cutscenes, but I then went to test in Undue Alarm (Episode 1), To The White Forest (Episode 2 although, to be fair that cutscene is pre-rendered) and This Vortal Coil and found no such issue.
In Point Insertion, the FOV gets set to the correct value after you get up off the floor when meeting Alyx. Before that point, the FOV will be set to 75.
