Widescreen Gaming Forum

For some reason mine was set to Auto Install under settings, I turned off both "Auto Install" and "Auto Install Missing/Uninstalled" and now I can choose to only install DOOM for right now.
I think there was a question during install that asked me about this, I somehow I must have chosen wrong.

So all you need to do is is select 16:3 and 5760x1080 then make sure the FOV is set to 90?

That isn't working for me. The image is still very flat. Your tip on the FOV did help it, but Doom guy's arm still stretches to the screen on the right.

I guess that's assuming I had Flawless widescreen installed. Just finished installing and that did the trick! Thanks for the tip!

Great work Hayden!
Unfortunately i seem to be having issues @ 21:9.. i'm using a single 2560x1080 display, the fix works @ 90fov (playermodel/weapons are no longer stretched), but as i increase the fov beyond 90 the playmodel/weapons gets stretched in the opposite direction (AKA squished).
Take a look below:

Vanilla 21:9 2560x1080 @ 90FOV, all seems fine except weapons are stretched:


With fix 21:9 2560x1080 @ 90FOV, weapons now have the correct aspect ratio:


With fix 21:9 2560x1080 @ 110FOV, weapons are now squished:


This really sucks because it's very distracting and i really like the game + it's running great @ a solid 74fps on ultra with nightmare textures on my single GTX 970


EDIT: Found a fix by modifying fws plugin, now playermodel scales correctly @ desired fov.

2560x1080 @ 115FOV:


So for anyone who wants to properly play the game in 21:9 @ higher fovs here's what to do;
Open with text editor: Flawless Widescreen\PluginCache\FWS_Plugins\Modules\DOOM\Dependencies\Scripts\DOOM.lua
Find this section:(without quotes)

"Variables["DefaultWeaponFOV1"]:WriteFloat(180.0)"

DefaultWeaponFOV1 needs to be increased when increasing fov, 200.0 seems to be perfect for 110fov and 205.0 for 115fov.
This can be done while the game is running provided you close fws and open it again after saving.

Hayden for President. As always.

Thanks for the fix, Hayden. Was a good reminder that it had been a while since i donated a little something. Boundless thanks to the community of WSGF. So many people would stay frustrated without it. Was a bit surprised to see how wonky the wider resolutions were handled, seeing how id software has been at this game for so long...

Pretty fun game. A very DOOM-y Doom. So nice to see health kits in a game again.

How can I set ultra-widescreen resolution?

Front page says to use 16:3 ratio but I don't see that under the settings even with "+com_skipIntroVideo 1 +set m_smooth 0 +menu_advanced_AllowAllSettings 1"

Hi all,
I've just tried the demo of Doom from Steam. I can't get the right aspect ratio at 5760x1080p (Nvidia Surround) using Flawless Widescreen--it works flawlessly with all other games that need it. Maybe it doesn't work with the demo? if so, I'll buy the full game, since it's quite good indeed. Thank you all.

Yep, it doesn't work with the demo. It must use a different exe that would require its own FWS plugin...

Thank you scavvenjahh. I'll get the full game then. Cheers!

Has the new doom patch broken the fix?
