[quote]1920x1080 is 16:9 isn't it? :?:

[quote][quote][quote]Thanks for the widescreen fix :)

These are the settings I use for 16:9, if anyone wants to try it

1.15 and 1.443

I use the sniper scope to determine FOV and I found this to be a decent setting. (Right click to get the scope and adjust FOV settings until X, Y settings are to your liking, while keeping the scope circular).


I tried this for mine at 1920x1080 and it's stretched? In comparison the default was heaps better. The sniper scope was stretched too.

His settings are for 16:9. 1920x1080 is a 16:10 res.

I'm using these values for 16:10 - X FOV 1.384 Y FOV 1.15

The scope is round. :)

I was playing around with it, when the game loads, it's normal, then when I enabled the fov fix with those settings, it gets squashed. Then when I disable the fov fix, it appears to be then at the new FOV, has anyone else had this? Also I tried doing it myself as suggested, but I found it hard to judge what is too far out, I more like to be told how it "should" look and work with that :P

I changed it to X 1.39 and Y 1.303 now. I think this looks better than the one I had before, but once again, it's just personal preference.

And yes, this is for 16:9 aspect ratio. The scope looks ok to me (maybe a little bit oblong in Y). I use 1920 x 1080 resolution on a 47" monitor, so doesn't bother me much.

This was for version 1.0 of the FOV hack. Will post if 3.0 is any different. I didn't notice any bugs, but oh well, newer is better right? :P

EDIT: Changed it again to 1.39 and 1.213 Scope is circular, you gain more Y, but the sniper scope doesn't cover the bottom screen. I can live with it though, I would rather have a wider view.

Thanks for making an unplayable game playable. I have no idea what Ubi was thinking.

My 1280x1024 monitor (I'm a nonbeliever) likes
X FOV: 1.532
Y FOV: 0.865
which is ~90 FOV, I would guess.

Thanks again.

I seem to be having a problem with this program. I'm using version 3 of it and the problem is with Xfire. Whenever I try to load the "xfire in game" (XIG) the game crashes to desktop. This never happens with just xife loaded by itself but when i use the fov hack program the game will crash when i press the key combo for XIG. I tried closing all other programs and tried launching the game and program and xfire in different combinations and still get the same problem. Even if I close the fov hack program then press the key combo to load XIG, it will still crash.

I don't know if this is a bug in the game, FOV Hack 3.0, or Xfire but if you Racer_S can see why this might be happening any help would be great. I have Vista Ultimate x64 if that helps at all.

Solution: Don't use xfire.

Hi there I'm new to this forum, first of all congrats to the forum.

I have a simple question, I play the game on a 22'' monitor that is 16:10 (1680x1050), but I play the game at 1280x720(my card is shit (HD 2600Pro)) wich is 16:9. What FOV should I use?


Set your desktop resolution to 1280x720 before starting FC2, then run the FOV tool set it to the 16:10 settings, then run FC2, then press *

Hi all,

I got motion sickness using the default settings so i was really looking forward to this fix. Unfortunately it didn't quite work for me. Every time i hit star FarCry2 just closed on me.

In any case, i looked at Racer_S code patch and just modified it till it worked for me. Also included automatic Aspect Ratio calculations so you will, for example, always have a perfectly round Sniper Scope.

I put it up for download on:
