First of all, thanks for a great community here. Whenever diving into a new "technical adventure" it's always nice to find a supportive community such as this. Great job! I just received my new Dell 2405 today and I'm having a bit of a snag. My understanding is that the .ini setting changes for games using the UT engine would add to the width of the FOV. I've made the changes, but what I get is actually more of a "zoom" affect where it maintains the same width, but crops the vertical axis, in affect, providing less of a vertical image than the standard 4:3. I've confirmed this by loading the same map, placements, etc. on my son's 19" 4:3 display. Did I miss something, or do these settings no longer work the same way they used to in previous versions of UT engine games? The .ini settings I changed are: in the [WinDrv.WindowsClient] section FullscreenViewportX=1920 FullscreenViewportY=1200 Any help would be greatly appreciated. Other than this, the monitor is great so far. After toning down the brightness and tweaking the colors, things are looking pretty darn good on both a PC and Mac connected to the display! |

Hello... I don't have the game so I can't try it ... but look in the user.ini (or similar) for the lines that begin with ... DesiredFOV= DefaultFOV= and change the values to your desired FOV ... something like ... DesiredFOV=100.000000 DefaultFOV=100.000000 As it is an online game these FOV changes might not work. Anyway ... I hope this helps ... :D |

Thanks for the info, but no joy. AA doesn't seem to respond at all to DesiredFOV settings. Anyone else run into this? As is, it's more of a "zoom & crop" fix. :cry: |

You could also try binding a key in the user.ini ... for example ... F5=FOV 100 Set the value whatever FOV you prefer. It works for other Unreal based games ... Good luck ... :D ... let us know if it works. |

It seems that all other FOV changing Unreal tricks does not works for AA, unfortunately. |

ah crap, i just found this thread now after posting this in another thread:
You are correct, modifying FOV doesn't effect the game. Fortunately Punkbuster doesn't seem to care either. ;) Edited by Paddywak ... I moved your other post in to this one ... it pays to search around ... :wink: ... but thanks for your input ... :D |
