Post by thales100 »

You could try this solution to force the FOV (if you cant use the game menu to change it) till Eidos releases a patch, please post back if it works for you (or not hehe).

Edit: It doesnt work. :~

Post by Ryukan »

I have tried all manner of things but I am unable to get the game to recognize the Eyefinity. All the resolutions and bezel adjsuted resolutions are available, but none say Eyefinity next to them in the game setup. Still can't get the HUD centered no matter how I try uninstalling or reinstalling things or even trying with bezel adjustment turned off. Oddly enough, the HUD centers only when I die hehe. Not gamebreaking but definitely annoying.

Post by RoboPatton »

Well I tried editing the that in the reg, and it saved the changes, however there was no difference while in eyefinity. I took screen shots with both the default and the 100 settings. Default fov for eyefinity at 5040x1050 is the same as 75fov in 1680x1050. I also took screen shots from the same spot each time to be sure. (I used to be a software tester years ago :P )

Perhaps there is another setting that is similar but specific to eyefinity in the reg. Maybe I'll mess around with it when I get back tonight.

btw- that was a really good shot, never thought to look in the reg.

Seem to not be able to get a centered hud also.
Tried with 11.6 & 11.8 cap2 and 11.8 ccc and cap2. Tried resetting my eyefinity groups, reinstalling my drivers twice once with driver sweeper one without etc etc.

It's late now so i think I'll try and get some game before bed!

Although everything else seems to be centred without bezel comp being taken into consideration as alot of info is hidden behind.
Just seems to be the map and health in the corners.

And the ingame clickable buttons such as hacking simply don't line up with or without the fix..

It is, it's the same as your native single monitor res is at FOV 75.

This game in wide screen, let alone tripple wide screen, was meant to be played at 90 or higher, IMO.

Have you checked the Detailed Report ? Click on "Additional in-game Shots" for a comparison between FOV x AR in this game.

Some Eyefinity users have reported issues when trying to change the FOV, there are some related posts on page 2 of this thread.

Post by SiriusDragon »

Just curious as to why this game gets a gold/A rating with all the vendor specific lockouts and such :)

eg. no 3d for nvidia users, no centred hud for nvidia users, etc...

If nvidia did this people would be all over them...

A centered HUD in multi-monitor is not required for a Grade-A. While it's crap implementation, it is not a flaw that would give any game a B grade.

Post by Downtown1 »

Well guys we need an A+ or AA to differentiate games like Far Cry 2 which actually do have perfect support for surround. This Deus Ex situation is pretty silly.

FOV is a game breaker for me

Post by xoroku »

Ever since we've suffered console ports with their restrictive FOVs I've been realizing that the inability to adjust FOV is a total game breaker for me.
I end up playing Deus Ex at 140 fps on a single monitor because I can't change the FOV while in eyefinity mode. I end up seeing more things on a single monitor than on 3.

Oh and out of subject: developers should start play testing the pc versions with mouse and keyboard instead of an Xbox controller. that way they would realize how unpleasant mouse smoothing and acceleration is.

The game is HOR+ so I'm not sure how you're seeing less in surround..

If it's like BFBC2, you don't need to increase the default FOV to use surround as the game adds to the FOV automatically in 3 screen resolutions.

In fact you should increase FOV when running in multi-monitor, otherwise game will be Hor+ but also Vert-, please refer to the Detailed Report for comparison screenshots of FOV x AR in this game.

Post by Downtown1 »

You can't change FOV in EyeFinity mode for example. And the screenshots themselves aren't as revealing as they could be, where's the HUD?

Its certainly a bug in some eyefinity setups, the FOV option is in the game menu. The screenshots show a comparison between FOV x AR in the game. HUD should be centralized in eyefinity, but many users reported it to be spanned, just as in Nvidia Surround (the multi-monitor solution i run).
