Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

“You have a sword and you want to hurt some people.” Chivalry is skill-based and controls like a First Person Shooter. Instead of guns and grenades players are given swords, shields and longbows. Set in a fictional yet gritty and realistic world, players will fight in fast paced online battles besieging castles, raiding medieval villages and fighting for glory in the arena with up to 32 players.

Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

Native "Vert+" support complimented with a HFOV slider (60-120).

  • Real-time rendered cutscenes have a locked FOV and are 1.7:1 anamorphic (letterboxed in 15:9, pillarboxed in 16:9).
Ultra/Super-Wide Specific Solution & Issues:

No-brainer: bump the FOV up to 120.

For better control you can lock the vertical FOV:

  1. %USERPROFILE%\Documents\my games\Chivalry Medieval Warfare\UDKGame\Config\UDKEngine.ini
    search for...
    AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainXFOV
    replace with...
    AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV
  2. %USERPROFILE%\Documents\my games\Chivalry Medieval Warfare\UDKGame\Config\UDKSettings.ini
    search for...
    MyFOV=105
    replace with...
    MyFOV=72.49

Screen change is now Hor+ and the slider controls VFOV.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues:

Default FOV depends on display height: Vert- up to 1080p, exaggeratedly Hor+ at 1440p.

  • For 5760x1080 and 3840x1024, lock the VFOV as explained for UltraWide.
  • For higher resolutions the fix is even easier:
  • %USERPROFILE%\Documents\my games\Chivalry Medieval Warfare\UDKGame\Config\UDKEngine.ini
    search for...
    MultimonitorFOVThreshold=170
    replace with...
    MultimonitorFOVThreshold=150

4K UHD Specific Solution & Issues:

Native support.
