Hi, i just wanted to followup to see if HaYDen is still going to be releasing the FOV modifier for far cry 3..?

Is there a possible way to make it stick for the driving view, cinematic view? I noticed that regardless of the FOV option, FOV would default back to ~60 for driving and cinematics (understandable for glitches etc.).

Requesting assistance. I can run the game triple monitor fine. I really don't want to though because of how stretched out the side monitors get because of the huge FOV.

When I try to run single monitor, I get a horrifying problem. Everything is all squished in. That is 1920x1080 but the aspect ratio is all funky. No matter what I do, I cannot fix it. With some searching (i really don't even know what terms to use), one post turned up without a solution.

Any help would be appreciated. I really just want to play this damn game.

Maybe because it detects your "desktop" resolution and uses that even though your game resolution is set to something else.

Have you tried setting both your desktop res and game res to the same thing? (this may suck for desktop but it may fix the game render)

Try it.

Yeah its because it tries to render the resolution at desktop into a single monitor. I had to change my resolution to 1920x1080 in nvidia control panel for it to work....effectively disabling the side monitors. I'm not playing this game until Hayden can fix the FOV. it looks too good on 3 screens to play on one.

I can confirm that the above worked for me. ie. Going down to one monitor and it being the same res in windows as in the game.
Thought I'd have a look to see what I've been missing off the top of the screen. LOL
Will probably go back to my eyefinity @ 5292x1050 which is down on my normal bezel corrected res of 6048x1200 but I'm getting
a lot smother frame rate with a Max of 30 set in the GamerProfile.xml.
I also found that I stopped the crashing to desktop by setting RefreshRate="60" ??
I was crashing every 5-10 minutes before that, but yesterday played for approx 6 hours without a crash.

Just had a blast with the new Far Cry 3 plugin for Flawless Widescreen and the FOV is now much better. Nice one HaYDen!

Think I've solved the enlarged HUD/UI problem with eyefinity and probably for those getting it with Nvidia Surround also. :rockout:
