@OP
EULA, too.
I don't trust EA after trying to legitimize installing a rootkit on my machine.
And I don't trust them not doing it again in the near future.
That sadly means I'll have to pass on Mass Effect 3. Passing on Dragon Age 3 is easy, given how abysmal DA2 turned out. |

instead of changing the FOV you can simply change the Terminal zoom.
fRenderedTerminalZoom=72
I'm playing with the scanlines-setting. if that helps improving readability i'll post it. |

akatei is correct ... Changing the FOV should remove the Vert -
no, he isn't.
fov get's you more horizontal scope, true, but do not get to see whats cropped due to the vert- .
you basically get a triple zoom ... and thats unplayable if you're inside buildings. |

Hi,
I managed to change the resolution by changing the .SystemPostal2.ini , but it's cropping vertical instead of enlarging horizontal, which isn't very playable.
does anyone have an idea how to change that?
thanks! |

Since the latest patch efficiently eliminated the mod we need a a small workaround:
Open the file %path%World of WarcraftWTFConfig.wtf
Find the line
SET cameraDistanceMaxFactor "2"
an change it to
SET cameraDistanceMaxFactor "5".
Now you got your maximum possible zoom back. |

Any idea how to set the aspect ratio to surround values ?
I know the basic stuff (see http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/ but since you're limited to the preconfigured aspect ratios (4:3 16:9 16:10) everything looks pretty warped. |
