Adjust your FOV and use it in fullscreen mode

I've seen pictures and videos but no step by step on how to do this so maybe this might help some out.

This will only work if you're using DVI or HDMI "digital" monitor connection, not VGA.

Start by creating a custom resolution in the graphic drivers settings.



I played around with a few settings, I don't like the extreme widescreen but just a little extra eyeball space on the sides is nice and doesn't make the letterbox too extreme.

1920x984 is pretty decent for me anyway, gives about a 70 fov (just a guess).

The trick to getting letterbox to work fullscreen is you have to resize your desktop, shrink it down to the 984 height in the control panel so you get a 1:1 pixel representation of your custom resolution.

note: I'm using HDMI, you may only see something completely different here if you're using DVI.


then I edit the settings.ini file (\My Documents\BFBC2Beta)

Code:
[WindowSettings]
Width=1920
Height=984
Fullscreen=true
RefreshRate=60

set your desktop to your custom res and then launch the game.


I have made a seperate thread on this in case people miss this post.
 
Any more info on other resolutions?, I guess what you have posted is for 1900x1200/1080.

So 1680x1050, 1440x900, 1360x768, 1280x720/768, would help everyone I think.

Sorry if your using 4:3.
 
Isn't messing with the FOV a "soft" cheat? If it gives a greater field of vision than the standard in-game available FOV then I'd certainly consider it one.
 
Is there really any concept of a "standard in-game available FOV" though? FOV has been configurable in FPS since Quake (1996) and it's up to players to choose a settings they feel comfortable with.

One of my biggest annoyances is games where you can't change the FOV and it's locked on something crazy low like 80.
