So what would be an acceptable solution according to you :?: Any way this file has to be edited ...

Sorry I didn't mean for my comment to be negative towards the work performed already (in fact that's the only way at the moment) - all I was saying is there's some issues with it, like it locking the mouse to 1920x1080 bounds.

Thank you gentlemen for your work so far.
K4SH.........I got the editing to give me triple screen, but I very much agree.....the FOV is SO bad, you can't play. I also have found that if I quit out, my program defaults back to the single screen 1920 x 1200?

Hayden.........thanks alot for working on this. I find the game to be fun, but the single screen is god-awful amd the FOV even on single screen is nauseating.

Thanks guys. Hope you can iron this out.
My hats off to you.

FOV is fixed, but the resolution issue is not - the editing of that file isn't a acceptable solution, the engine still limits mouse movement and stuff... just working on that atm.

Could you share the FoV fix, HaYDeN?

I am playing single screen here and this FoV is an absolute torture.

i'd be super happy with just the fov change :)

Please don't rush the man, I'd like what-ever he has, when-ever he's good and ready.

Any screen shots Hayden?

I plugged in my xbox controller and the game was super smooth where as the mouse is all stuttery (consolitis) this also happened with that piece of garbage called Kane and lynch. The frame rate is also all over the place not to mention the locked 30fps vsync. Use d3dovrrrider to lock to 60. The graphics are not that great and the frames are low that sucks

I don't know what you are saying.
My mouse and keyboard work flawlessly. Maybe adjust the sensitivity.
Why would you want to use a freeking 360 controller on the PC? Jesus, just go play it on the XBox then?
The graphics suffer a little from texture losss up close, but rival anything out there and are very true to the FEAR series, did you happen to look at the graphics in DukeNukemForever?
Sounds to me like you are really picky about things, what about just enjoying the game? I think it's a very well done shooter......exactly as I had anticipated.

I run my game WITHOUT VSync, and my FPS average is 75-90 in heavy action, and the game is only using 40% of my GPUs at present.
Turn off VSync.

My biggest disappointment has been lack of native support for EyeFinity, and the terrible FOV.

I get close to 200 fps no vsync single screen smooth as butter. Turn on vsync single screen smooth as butter. This is about 5760x1080 resolution gameplay testing performance despite the fov being off.

The moment I see screen tear the game feels like garbage xbox does screen tear. I play all games continuously locked at 60fps. There is zero performance loss with my imperator and g13 at 60fps compared to 200 plus except for an over worked gpu. I like my 6970 DirectCU 960/1540 stock volt completely quiet during during full use.

So just what are you complaining about?
You absolutely CANNOT play this game in 5670 x 1200 resolution due to the FOV currently being unajustable. If you are I can't imagine you are seeing everything.

I have to call BS on you getting 200 FPS in this game with a single 6970, that just isn't happening.
Look , I have THREE GPUs all unlocked to 6970 specs and I get 100 maximum in heavy action. Sure, if I'm looking at a save screen in-game my FPS will be 200 as well, but that isn't reasl world gaming.
The only way we will know what this game is about is if the triple monitor issues are corrected.

Then we can talk about IQ and Frame rate. But honestly, anything over 60 FPS is just e-penis talk, you can't tell the difference anyway.

You obviously either don't notice or don't experience this "jitter issue"

I have two systems in my house. Mine as noted in my sig, no issues at all. I don't know what the "jitter" is you sre talking about.

My son has an EVGA P55 MB and uses an MSI GTX 580 running a month old driver and has no "jitter" either.
He is running all very high selections, FSAA and no VSync. Maybe SLi has an issue?

So we are 100% without any problems, on two very different systems.

My only complaint is of course no triple monitor support.

I'm not bragging about fps, that's just dumb. I didn't check how high my frames were in heavy action probably not as high as 200.

This mouse jitters if the frames go below 40-50 fps (which is obvious) 2 other friends get it too. In eyefinity of course.

No problem.

Let's just hope Mr. HaYDen gets the fix on soon!! :mrgreen:

I just played a bit and the game just feels like tunnel vision on one screen and the fov. ppl with consoles have to put up this! consoles suck suck suck and I am spoiled with three screens. I can't even enjoy games with one screen anymore it feels like 1/3 of a game

The devs are working on a patch for the PC version, including fixing the ":jitter", according to someone who claims to be in the know on their tech forums.

Thank god.

Any screen shots Hayden?

Blur appears to get increased when FOV increases.

WOW that is awesome! Now I'm excited. That is a great job so far. is it motion blur? is there a way to turn it off completely?

That's awesome. You must be some kind of a frickin' legend. I'm only seeing this jittering you guys are talking about with 4xAA enbaled. Not with 2xAA, so that's where I'm running it. Not to mention it crahsed on me twice running 4x and none on 2x.

Hello everyone, Can some post up the their file that they configured for Fear 3? Because I am lost when it comes to reading Hex.

I would just wait for HaYDen to complete his work.
The Hex Edit works but looks like shit and the game is unplayable, due to the FOV not being configurable unless youre HaYDen and know what you're doing.

Patience my brother.

If you are really wanting to do this, the file pathway is posted on page one of this thread.......C:users/your name/appdata/roaming/FEAR3/day1studio/settings.
Download a HexEditor.
Open settings with editor
Change 4A,4B,4E,4F to match your resolution.A&B are width, E&F are height. Remember they are reversed.
