Widescreen Gaming Forum

For those who would like to have a wider view, you can use the Camera Zoom mod. http://dawnofwar.filefront.com/file/Camera_Zoom;34682

It works with DoW, DoW:WA, DoW:DC, DoW:Soulstorm

It gives you a feel closer to "HOR+" I guess.

I was not able to find this topic at first due to the slight typo.
The MGL isn't there for nothing.

See the column where it says "detailed report" over and over again? One of them is for SimCity Societies.

Yeah ...

I just want to ask 2 things;


MODS: Would it be possible to change the post title from "SimCity: Socities" to "SimCity: Societies" ? I was not able to find this topic at first due to the slight typo.

And does anyone know how to tweak the game for HOR+ ?

Enabling NTFS compression on the saves folder reduces the space taken by 35%.... that'll save ya 500MB of space zubyo :)

But does it affect the save files? (like not beeing able to load them once they are under compression)

[quote]Wow. That's pretty nuts.

I checked an individual save, though, and it was just over 8MB...?

Mine are 20MB apiece, zipping it takes it down to 7MB... just under 2/3rds smaller. I also save all the time to try out the different paths you can try, and before playing poker. So that ...

The 1.2 patch is amazing. Makes me wonder if they could do something similar for Mass Effect...but that's stream loading as opposed actually stopping for a load screen huh? D:

What gets uncensored in the UK version?

Wow, I am playing The Witcher for a while now, and started playing it on ...

It gets a 10/10 graphics-wise for sure. But all other departments lack completely. I don't see how I'm being unrealistic. If you took all the pretty graphics and put them aside, what would there be to like about this game?

The storyline is meh, nothing new or exciting. The sound is rather ...

But most important will be the final version. I'm sure they will fix it when it will be released. Do we have to worry about it that much for a demo? :)

I wish I could be as optimistic as you are squ1zzy, but for some reason I think they couldnt care less about proper WS/FOV... :cry ...

I just renamed the startup videos. That way they don't play, but you can still see the ones that you want.

Worked great, thnx

I tried the command; works great for the intro, but unfortunatly it also removes the game's videos, and the loading screens with the hints.

I finished the game, and I was wondering why it ended so abruptly; then I removed the command and redid the last boss, and then I saw the ending video...

Hey AA info! Nice!

For those wantign to skip those stinkin' intro movies, add -nomoviestartup to the commadn line in your shortcut.

THANKS!

Damn to hell those annoying UNSKIPPABLE intro movies :evil:

There was a statement about it somewhere, but you don't seriously believe it was designed with 4:3 as the default. The whole thing about the Xbox360 is 720p which is 16:9. Pretty much about every single game that's on the 360 is designed for 16:9. The same goes for the PS3 with 720p and 1080i/p ...

ok im not going through all that trouble just to enable proper widescreen... this is ridiculous... i cant play the game anyway without it crashing every minute...

Yeah I totally agree. I'm really mad at them for not programming proper widescreen.

I guess i'll have to stay with the default ...

It's default 80 for 16:9. The game was designed for 16:9. That is why 4:3 is Vert+. :)

Thats what Ive been wondering from the start, where is it mentionned that the game was designed for 16:9? Is it on the box label :roll:;) ?

Because that's what it is. :P Open the console and type: fov 80. It won't change, because it's the default FOV.


lol yes I did notice that "FOV 80" makes the FOV stay the same, so it most likely means that its the default one;

But I'm wondering why you "assigned" the default FOV 80 ...

[quote]BTW I played a lot today with GoW and I noticed that when I change the FOV, it seems to remove the small zoom that the aiming button adds when you hold it. At least it seemed to do it for me anyway.Mine still zooms a little when I use the aiming button and I'm using FOV of 130 for TH ...

[quote]Im wondering dopefish, when I put in the FOV calculator

Original 16:9,
New 16:10
Default FOV: 80

The result is: 85.9913448314

Where did you get the 74.11945114?

And can someone give a small explanation about this game's FOV and widescreen settings, Im getting ...

For thoses interested, it does support 1920x1200

Great work squ1zzy.

Keep us posted, as I'm sure we'll get screwed over and we wont have HOR+ for the final Retail game.
