Options

The options menu lets you change your settings for the game. See Controls for control defaults. The option to clear save data is also in the Options menu, this resets all of your progresss so be careful.

## General

The general menu lets you change languages and settings not specific to graphics, audio or controls.

### Languages:

There are currently 8 languages available for PowerWash Simulator: English, Chinese (simplified), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Spanish.

### Camera

**Field Of View:** Slider to change the field of view, this can help to prevent motion sickness. The slider goes from 60° to 100° with the default being 70°.

### Show Crosshair:

ON - always shows crosshair.

DYNAMIC - stops showing crosshair when washer is turned on.

OFF - never shows crosshair.

### Dirt Details

**Dirt Details:** Tells the names of up to 3 types of Dirt present on the place the crosshair is pointing towards if any dirt is present. These details are visible in the top left corner when looking at dirt.

**Crosshair Dirt Details:** Unlike the normal Dirt Details, this tells the name of the top (easiest) layer of Dirt on the place the crosshair is pointing towards if any dirt is present. These details are visible to the right of the crosshair when looking at dirt.

### Stance Select

CYCLE - Cycles through stance modes in order (standing, crouching, prone, back to standing) when pressing the stance mode button (Default: LEFT CONTROL).

HOLD - Changes stance from standing to crouching when pressing the stance mode button (Default: LEFT CONTROL) or from standing to prone when holding the stance mode button down. The button does not need to keep being held down to stay in the prone position. Press the stance mode button shortly when not standing to revert back to standing position.

### Save Data

**Auto Save:** When ticked off, saves immediately when any dirt gets cleaned. When not ticked off, the game only saves when switching levels or when closing the game. Turning this off can improve performance but won't prevent progress loss if a crash occurs.

**Save Data:** Pressing the CLEAR button resets all progress including Free Play and Challenge Mode progress. Use this if you want to start the game over from the very beginning.
