Solutions & Issues

Widescreen Solution & Issues:

Native "Vert+" support. HFOV can be adjusted via a slider under Game Options (default 85, range 70-100).

FOV setting affects all gameplay elements - not just the environment but also the compass, map, journal and zoom. A higher FOV pushes held objects away from the camera and weakens the zoom.
Cut-scenes and the main menu backdrop on the other hand have a locked FOV.
Loading screen art is squished in aspects lower than 16:9.

Ultra/Super-Wide Specific Solution & Issues:

Set FOV to 100 and forget about it, or use the Multi-monitor solution detailed below.

For a strictly Hor+ screen change compared to FOV 85 in 16:9, fixed FOV should be:
101.40 at 2560x1080
101.84 at 3440x1440

Maximum FOV should be:
115.63 at 2560x1080
116.03 at 3440x1440

Cut-scenes, FMVs and main menu backdrop remain Vert-.
Loading screens stretch.

Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues:

Max in-game FOV is much too low for real support. The fixed FOV must be set in two places:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Kholat\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Game.ini

[/Script/Kholat.KholatPlayerCameraManager]
ConfigFOV=
(These lines may not be present if in-game FOV slider was never used)

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Kholat\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini

FOV=

For a strictly Hor+ screen change compared to FOV 85 in 16:9, fixed FOV should be:
125.29 at 3840x1024
140.02 at 5760x1080
(137.97 at 6060x1200 in the screenshots below)

Maximum FOV should be:
136.62 at 3840x1024
148.75 at 5760x1080

All values obtained using FOVCalc.

Zoom VFOV is lower and sprint VFOV higher than the 16:9 baseline; the wider spectrum of FOV changes makes the flow of gameplay less natural.
DOF is also stronger and shallower: objects are more blurred, over a longer distance.
Cut-scenes, FMVs and main menu backdrop remain Vert-.
Loading screens are broken (stretched background, Vert- foreground).
Subtitles are huge.
