Solutions & Issues

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues

The game detects widescreen resolutions but stretches everything from 4:3 unless the aspect settings are adjusted.

Edit UserInfo.cfg in the user profile folder in the installation folder. Update the values as below (thanks to Faguss's OFP Aspect Ratio Configuration).

	4:3	16:9	15:9	16:10	5:4	12:3
fovTop	0.75	0.75	0.8	0.75	0.8	0.75
fovLeft	1	1.333333	1.333333	1.2	1	3
uiTopLeftX	0	0.125	0.125	0.083333	0	0.333333
uiTopLeftY	0	0	0.033333	0	0.033333	0
uiBottomRightX	1	0.875	0.875	0.916667	1	0.666667
uiBottomRightY	1	1	0.966667	1	0.966667	1

Everything has the correct aspect ratio when using these modified values. To use a resolution with a different aspect ratio simply repeat with the appropriate values.

If you change the values and things look skewed in-game you have made a mistake in copying the values into the file. Each entry must end with a semicolon but does not have to have all the zeroes it had prior to changing it.

Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues

change UserInfo.cfg for correct FOV when using triplescreen resolutions (in game folder)

fovTop=1.000000;
fovLeft=3.898664;

It was originally:

fovTop=0.750000
fovLeft=1.000000
