Changing Bad Company 2 Aspect Ratio

[Matias]

I have a widescreen monitor. How do I get aspect ratio 4:3 in BC2?

[StingingVelvet]

Pick a 4:3 resolution?

Make sure your graphics card is set up to pillarbox it.

[Matias]

I'm running 1024x768. Nvidia (8800 GTS) drivers are a little fucked up with rescaling, but I have it working on another game.

[StingingVelvet]

Yeah, nVidia scaling with fixed aspect ratio hasn't worked for me in a long while actually. nVidia drivers have been crap for months.

Am I to assume this game is Native Hor+ ?

Am I to assume this game is Native Hor+ ?

Yeah looks fine to me with auto hor+ just be setting my resolution.

[Deusfaux]

Not sure, but FOV feels too narrow at default... gonna look for a way to widen it up.

Any suggestions?

[ViciousXUSMC]

change fov in your settings.ini file I have mine at 65 default is 55.

[Deusfaux]

so is one game's FOV not equal to other games' FOV?

like 55 in this game would not have the same FOV as 55 in say, UTIII ?

cuz that's a really low number, but it doesn't seem THAT extremely narrow.

[ViciousXUSMC]

its not horizontal FOV you must be thinking of that since most games use(ed) that. Its the vertical FOV, 65 is like 110 FOV or so I think, there is a formula for it around somewhere and a few calculators online.

Just try a value and see how you like it. 65 is god for me. If you go to 90 or something its going to be way too high.
