The hack isn't working with the first patch for me. :(

I'm so glad I didn't install the patch yet ... lets hope our friend Racer_S can fix the FOV tool for us ...

@ kyleb ... nice work on the scoped views ... 8)

Seems patch 1.0001 has made the FOV program hack not work anymore.

Any word on getting another FOV hack??

Why doesn't he let us know how he handle's the FOV so we can all take a look? The only thing I can think of is changing the value's that are added to a memory location.
Email him ... I'm sure he would be happy to help if he can ... he is usually very open about things ...
But then again ... he most probably gets lots of people wasting his time ... he would need to know you are serious and knowledgeable in these matters I guess.
I think ... what he does would be too involved for most of us ... but maybe you and your knowledge of programs etc. things would be different ... :D
Click his email button at the bottom of his post here ... http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/node/5564#comment-122086

PS: ... My guess that the reason I haven't heard back from him is just that he is too busy with other things.

Did you tell him about your res patchers ?
It may help your credibility ... :D

I've no clue to how to adjust the FOV by hooking into the exe or whatever Racer_S does with his fixes, but I've been digging around the game code to try and adjust the FOV there like we do in Far Cry. Unfortunatly, I've only been able to move the view up and down so far, not back as we need it to be, but I'm going to take another crack at it now and I'll report back if I come up with anything.

Destroy · Post by **Destroy** » 30 Mar 2007, 00:37

I've emailed him asking if he plans on updating his FOV program but he hasn't replied. :(

Moving the camera back is a bad solution. That's called "dollying" and it's not the same as "zooming." What you want to do is find a way to increase the angle of view. This is the same as "zooming."

I recommend reading this article:

kyleb · Post by **kyleb** » 30 Mar 2007, 02:22

Understood, but I'm at a loss to find anything about FOV in the game code so I figure at least backing it out a little would at least help, unfortunatly I'm not finding anything to do that with either. I wish the coments in the code weren't all in Ukrainian, I might acutally be able to accomplish something if I had a clue on what to look for.

Yep can confirm the Toca thing don't work with the latest patch. I may do another instalation without the patch for true widescreen single player mode as most of the patch was for multiplayer fixes anyway.

kyleb · Post by **kyleb** » 30 Mar 2007, 23:28

The patch notes mostly list multipalyer stuff, but single player gameplay is tweaked a lot by the patch. I highly reocmend playing with the patch unless you are far into a game without it, in which case you might as well finish that game off and then you can enjoy the tweaks on your next playthough.

Is it possible to stretch the hud- and inventar-boxes or somthing like that?
Because the letters dont fit with the boxes at 1440x900
