Hey guys,

I am compiling a complete list with a nifty screenshot for you, but in short: Yes, there's a problem, yes, a fix is on the way, yes the view will expand horizontally for you widescreen gamers.

I wanted to let you know as soon as I could - so stay tuned for the details.

Maybe this means we'll get a wider default view.

The 360 version is comparable to the 16:9 version of the PC. (Which makes sense, as they share the common default).

However, I think with BioShock 1, that when they gave you an option to lock the vertical FOV, that it actually made the view wider than what 16:9 even was on the console, which was great because PC gamers sit closer to the screen. So I'm hoping that them providing a fix for it will indeed give you a wider view than 16:9 on the consoles.

well, i kinda hacked it but it still needs alot of work. i used FOV of 110 here, but it only affects what you see, not the weaponview itself. also as you can see the HUD is horribly stretched.



zoom also breaks it and u have to set it again,.... i wonder if racerS or dopefish can make a tutorial cuz i know their methods are much better than mines :) mine is so ancient. im sure somehow i have to find and change the value that connects the way resolution and FOV is shown. here, all i am doing is hacking the FOV itself which the engine will change all the time so it doesnt work well.

Might be a long shot but can you bind your hack to 'walk' key, that was done in the past so that after the FOV reset it was sort of a non issue as you are always hitting 'w' anyway.

I really hope someone makes an FOV fix, but until then how did you manage to change the FOV fuc847? A stretched HUD is a perfectly fine tradeoff for not getting motion sickness.

Yes, Workaround! :D

1360x768, default 75 FOV:


1360x768, set 91 FOV:

Go into application data... the usual (i'm in a rush so follow one of the links if you don't know where to find it)

then just bind 'SetFOV 87' (or whatever YOU want) to a spare key

Also to have it walking keeps the FOV at 87 (or whatever) just bind it to the walk key

W=walkforward | SetFOV 87

everytime you zoom/stop zoom and it resets to 75 you just walk forward instead of hitting a seperate key. YOu may even be able to bind it to the zoom key toggle so it will reset to your custom fov.

It's not a full fix but I guess it beats that terrible headache 75

SRSLY??/

After the way people raged about the widescreen fail in the first one, they thought exactly the same fuckery would now be perfectly acceptable?
