[Option request] Slightly higher FoV for widescree
12/27/07 at 01:54:25
 
I mentioned this a long time ago: Can you please add support for a slightly higher default FoV setting for widescreen monitors? This looks more natural than the default value of 90 degrees which was designed for 4:3 screens.

(I used to set this every time via an exec script, but Unreal 227's higher gameplay security no longer allows this setting to be changed while playing online.)

ah yes, of course. I remember. I'm not sure if this should be allowed or not, since it "could" count as cheat. How much would be necessary to make it look natural?

A setting of 105 looks perfect to me. This is what I have been using since I switched to a widescreen (1920x1200) TFT. An option to set default FoV to this value for widescreen users would suffice imo.

About the cheating: Most FoV cheating is done with lower FoV's (rather than higher) to use as sniper zoom on weapons that do not support zooming by themselves.

By the way: UT2004 allows players to set a default FoV in the range of 80 to 100 using the normal game configuration.

Both true, however there are several mods that keep correcting FOVs (UTF among them) so some more changes in mods would be needed.

My old zoom bind i used on coop servers that nothing detected/fixed doesn't work anymore, so i feel there's no need to worry about that  Wink
