Hello WSGF.

I just recently purchased Quantum of Solace, and am deeply disappointed in the FoV provided by the game.

What really irks me about it, is that since the game is on a modified version of the CoD4 engine, you would figure it would offer the same options as CoD did. Absolutely not...

It seems as though there's no console support in the game, and the configuration file looks to be hexed, or whatever. It's nothing that I understand.

Would it be possible to force the game into IMK's Widescreen Fixer application? Or is there some sort of tool that could be used in conjunction with the game?

I just picked this up super-cheap as well- does anyone have a fix?

What exactly is wrong with the game? I think I looked at it before but didn't try for some reason.

Does it have the wrong aspect-ratio (stretched screen) like CoD4/WaW/MW2? Or is it just a low FOV?

Ah got it working, for some reason CC had upped my OC to crash levels FFS

So yeah it is like CoD, FoV at 65 I guess so needs to be 90 for me. Sick making, fun game though... not tricky but you do get to be bond in a FPS cover game type way.

Is it just the FOV? Is the aspect-ratio correct?

I own this one too, pretty sure all is fine the FOV is just really low. This is one of those low FOV games that never bothered me though, like Call of Duty games never bother me.

Oh wow. Supercheap indeed. :shock: Last time I checked, the best price was ridiculous - in the opposite way.
Isn't it an "almost third-person" sort of FPS ? Won't it make the whole FOV fixing a bit complicated ?
