Actually, I was asking if there was a way to change the fov in the console. Someone had posted it, but it was slightly confusing. They said it was " fov xyz " and I wasn't sure if that meant that it had to be a 3-digit number or what.
If you type the following, you will get the default fov:

fov 90

For other fov's, just change the number to whatever you want to try. 108 seems to work well for 16:9 monitors, though 120 worked well, too. This site has a FOV Calculator. It came up with 106.something (can't get it to work, just now) for 16:9 on FarCry. Someone had suggested 108 for 16:10, though it seems it should actually be a bit lower, as 16:10 is a little less wide than 16:9.

fov 90

cheers <3

good point. i can see why "fov xyz" could be confusing so i've updated my 1st post

Added 2560x1600 support based on Ruaviator's testing

Far Cry v1.33 supports any widescreen resolutions natively

Just for my own clarification: With version 1.33, is it simply a matter of choosing my (standard 1920x1200) resolution in the menu, or will I have to alter the FOV as well?

You can pick 1920x1200 in the video settings menu, but you'll need to follow the above 'hack' under "Permanently Changing the FOV" if you want to change the FOV. Some people don't really care or notice the FOV, but it is nice. ;)

You have to patch it to the latest version, 1.0 doesn't have HDR. I don't recall whether it's on by default but to enable it manually you must use the console.

Is there an way without the console? some config changes?

EDIT: Finally i have found something.

You have to add "r_HDRRendering = "7"" to the system.cfg. :)

Can I force Anti-Aliasing to Far Cry while HDR is running?
