Far Cry 2

A patch gets released and they didn't address the FOV issue? After SO many posts on the forums about it?

Those stupid bastards.

At least it fixed some other issues i have with the game.. but i guess now i have to wait for Racer_S ( i hope) to install the damned thing.

Bad Ubisoft! Bad. where's a rolled-up newspaper when you need one?

yeah kinda rediculous they didnt include a FOV fix with all the talk about it.. better be in the next patch

skeeder · Post by **skeeder** » 06 Nov 2008, 01:23

I'm running the fix and it seems weird...

X=1
Y=1.333

what are people running this at?
16:10 ratio btw.

Please Racer - update the Widescreen Fix soon !!!!! :oops:

I want to continue playing - but only with that fix !

:!:

So there's a new 1.01 FarCry Patch out. Sadly, this renders de FOV-Fix useless. :(

Patch 1.01 has stopped FOV fix v3 working for me too

That's been the case for any fov hack I've used. Version change breaks the fix. Well more often the game just crashes... so i saw that coming as soon as 1.0 fix came out.

I';m still very surprised the patch doesn't fix it, and judging by the Ubi forums I'm not the only one.

Tell me how I could use this tool "fc2FOV3" if my keyboard "logitech dinovo" does not have a numpad :?

By using a Keymapper:

But with the Patch the Fix doesn't work anymore.

so does it patch automatically?

you could...block it from getting to the web...

Just letting you all know I'm working on updating the tool for the patch right now!

Thank you, thank you very much - you are the best :D

Btw - what do you think about the Patch?
Is it realy to much work for Ubisoft to fix that Widescreen problem?

If you widen the FOV at all and look left or right while hang gliding you'll see incomplete arm models, so they obviously designed for their default FOV and no wider.

I'm not saying that isn't a simple fix for them, too, but it's not quite as simple as just changing the FOV. There may be other minor issues like that, too.

I'm not sure why, but only version 2 of the fix worked on my machine. Version 3 would CTD when I toggled the fix. Would it be possible for you to update version 2, or allow some sort of toggle between how v2 and v3 implemented the fix?

I don't think I can stand playing with the default FOV anymore as my session last night almost made me nauseous with how crowded it felt. :(

Early test version, can some of you download and confirm if it works or not? I'm not able to test it at the moment but I think it might work :P

- What's new in v4.0 on 11/6/08?
* Added support for v1.01 patch
* Added Auto Enable option

(link removed)

Thanks!

FOV works.

No shadows. At all.

Disabling it turns screen two shades of blue and flashes. Enabling again reverts back to altered FOV but still no shadows.

but thanks for getting these out so fast.

Auto-enable worked.

played for about 20 minutes without a crash or hang-up. The game looks very weird with no shadows. Otherwise it looks okay - water is not blurred as with v1.2

AdamK47 · Post by **AdamK47** » 07 Nov 2008, 03:09

Enabling also removed all shadows for me. I don't understand how the auto enable is suppose to work. I launch the utility and then launch the game, but I still have to press * for the changes to be made.

Ya shadows dont work for me either... same with the blue screen when disabling...

Also.. what settings should I be using for 1680x1050?

I forgot what settings I had before for xfov and yfov.. and when i pull out my silenced mp5 it shows my left shoulder or something but its all messed up... so i think i have the fov too high or something..

Without tool:

With tool (incorrect fov):

When disabling tool:

Thanks!

Shadows are missing and lighting seems changed(due to shadowing perhaps) when enabled.

Disabling causes screen to show 2 halves of blue in full screen.
