Hi guys.

Thought Id go back and play some Mass Effect 3 MP again, loved this back on the Xbox 360 in the day.

Now, out of the box, the FOV in the game is so damn horrible, makes me totally sick. There is quite an easy way of increasing it, along with making other changes to the .INI file for a much nicer, higher frame experience. My concern is though, would this be dangerous to do for the MP? Could something like this be a ban offence? I've actually been playing for 2 or 3 days with some subtle .INI changes and hadn't even thought about it till now lol.

What ya think?

I've added these as they weren't in the .ini file previously

bSmoothFrameRate=False
MinShadowResolution=64
MaxShadowResolution=2048
ShadowFilterRadius=2
ShadowFilterQualityBias=2

and also increased my FOV from 60 to 100 so I can actually stop vomitting. Bioware says any changes to this is fine in SP, but in MP if anything is changed to give an advantage, then you could get banned. kinda silly if I can't up the FOV to what I want and add in some better graphical settings.

Have you actually found any games? Last time I looked a few months back, it was dead online.

ED: Guess not. Just had a peek and found a game pretty quickly.

yeah loads of games, never had a problem joining anything, Platinum and Gold takes a little longer at times, but Silver and Bronze is straight in constantly.
 
Yeah, just found one no probs. Dunno what was going on before...

I'm only level 8, as I only got around to actually playing it on PC not long ago after having it sitting on the drive for a year or so :D
They'd probably kick me out of the lobby lol.
 
I played this with a few guys on here for a while and it was terrific fun.

Might be up for another go... I'll have to reinstall origin. Ugh.
