Then bump the thread I linked to, the most recent issues is blindingly easy for the Devs to fix and was introduced due to stupidity on the part of one of the developers, again, details of the issue are in the first post of the thread, but the more people that post in that thread the higher its visibility to the devs. They did say the game would launch with multi-monitor support, let the devs know they failed so that they can fit it.

Damned Vehicle FoV fix was a must have, also because it fixed the turret mouse sensitivity too !

Anyway I bumped the thread you linked.

One last question, for now, is it possible to center the HUD or not ?

Not completely, only as fair as the games centred HUD option does it, my knowledge isn't good enough to fix the rest of the HUD, I have however managed to remove the FoV limit they added, but the most recent hotfix broke it, so it won't be till tonight that I can get that fixed again.

Forgot to say yesterday, Flawless Widescreen's PlanetSide 2 plugin has been updated, it'll should remove the FoV limit, restoring it to what it should be, it'll also correct the vehicle FoV to match your infantry FoV.

PS2FOV v0.5 fix released in September still works with the latest PS2 client, both fov and turret sensitivity, only fov is now limited to 115 degrees horizontal which is still sufficient for a single monitor.

I had an older approach that changes an fov scaling factor which still works in spite of the new fov limit. The memory address can be found by searching for the number 57.29577637, increasing it while in vehicles provides more fov. The catch is screws up player animations, making them spin around in circles. It also needs to be quickly restored to its default value when leaving vehicles.

Ok I'll try again, maybe I've to launch it in admin mode...

Please note that this plugin has been disabled for now due to DOE banning users using this fix, they have explained that they intend to fix this issue them self and unban users whom used the fix.

The Flawless Widescreen plugin should not be confused with PS2FOV fix which still works without banning but is now limited to 115 degrees horizontal. It sounds like the FW plugin disabled this limit with more significant alterations that resulted in it triggering a violation.

I stand corrected, thank you ImperialCommando, I dont play this title, but I try make an effort to stay up to date, evidently not enough tho
Cheers for posting back with clarification

I have been using this tool. The slider for the FoV goes up to 150 so you are saying anything past 115 would be a violation so you just disable the setting past 115?

The slider in PS2FOV goes to 150 but currently has no effect past 115 degrees and does not trigger a violation.

Hell I dont even think my slider works at all. I tried changing the fov in the ini file but that didnt do anything. This is incredibly frustrating as its a great game and I do want to play it but I refuse to play on one screen. Its just not the same.

I noticed with the latest update to the PS2 launcher that you now need to run PS2FOV as an administrator for it to work (PlanetSide2.exe is now running elevated).

Is there a way to have this option for FOV on the infantry aswell?

Smed has tweeted that it is not a priority and there is no ETA for a fix. I think we're on our own here guys...

Side note as well, I've been using flawless for ps2 and still do. I have never been banned however after this last patch I get random crashes at 97% & 98%. Vers 1.0.9 Plugin vers 1.0.123 - Rev: 4. Its been driving me nuts as they are very frequent.

If you guys would be willing to look at that I would be willing to risk it because on ultra at 5050 x 900 this game is amazing. Or if I could learn what you guys modified to create this fix I would be willing to do it my self.

So let me get this straight. This plugin will not get your account banned? I have thrown money into this game already and DO NOT want my account to get banned. Are you guys 100% sure on this?

Lastly, I am not currently at my triple monitor setup and won't be for a few days. Does 115 degrees provide enough fov for a 5760x1080 resolution in this game?

Also, are the bans account specific or IP specific?

Nope not sure at all, in fact I may just be lucky, well partially so...

Fact of the matter is, I do not think they are scanning for this program any more or else I should have been found. Even with the recent hype of third party programs being banned, I think their focus right now is in another direction. Who knows, I have put a lot of money in this game but you know....

Is there any way to get the old version of this plug-in? I can't infantry anymore when I have to go to 4800x900. It makes my heart break a little when I've seen this game on Ultra. Thanks for the help!

New version of PS2FOV v0.7 safely disables the FOV limit for both infantry and vehicles.

Will this get us banned?
