Widescreen Gaming Forum

So is this the current only FOV fix?

Set your Windows Desktop to a 4:3 res.


Does it actually work?

No ... currently there is no way to gain horizontal FOV.
At best all that will do is add to the vertical FOV.
It takes the aspect ratio from your desktop but it does not add to the horizontal FOV no matter what you do.
Horz+ would be needed to fix the FOV in widescreen.

Not to side track us... but i can't believe the thread was closed in the official ubi forums? Thread bumping? The guy that it was blamed on didn't even do anything offensive...

Anyway enough ubi forum rubbish, just had to get it out of my system.

Fix is up guys ... THANK YOU ... Racer_S

@ Destroy ... thanks for posting over at nvnews ... I didn't like to post there in case I was accused of trying to poach members ... :P

I just had to register so I could say: Thanks for the fix Racer_S! WGF never lets me down.

I can't try it out right now (at work) but I will as soon as I get home. Anyone have suggestions for 16:9 FOV numbers to use?

Thanks! Awesome work, just a few questions

Does it have to be running in the background?

Do I have to set it before each play session?

I've used his fixes for plenty of other games and this works the same way, you run the little executable and it gives you some extra commands while in-game to adjust the fields. Its yah gotta be running in the background but it will remember the settings you last had.

One further hurdle for me I've realized: Each time I load the game it uses all three screens but only displays on my far left until I toggle my resolution to another and then back to my favoured. Anyone else have this happening or is it just something I may have accidentally done in the playerprofile.whatever file in the far cry folder of 'my games' perhaps?

lee63 super mod @ nvnews

Thanks lee63 ... 8) ... :D

Long time lurker, Decided to register so I could thank you for this fix.

This site has a wealth of information that I've used for years, I imagine it's taken a lot of hard work to get it out there to the public. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum ... Chris-187 ... :D

@ lee63 ... I didn't realize that was your first post here your name is so familiar to me ... COME ON YOU ROBINS ... :D ... ... welcome !

Sometimes lurker myself. Thanks for the fix, and the info DD.

thanks for the fix!

Can we get a motion blur fix? On ubisoft forums people were complaining about how their eyes hurt from the widescreen cropping, but i think its 95% from the motion blur which is unbearable in this game. Is there a way of fixing this?

Thanks for the fix!

Unfortunately every time I try to enable the fov hack my game crashes. :(

Hi folks,

I also registered to thank for the fix! :D
I do have a question though: I have noticed that towards the corners of the screen image gets stretched and shapes get, well, botched. For instance, the moon is perfectly round in the middle of the screen but when it enters a screencorner area, it turns into an ellipse. Do you get this too or am I doing something wrong? My monitor's native resolution is 1440:900 and I have set the hack values as advised: x1.31, y1:253.
What do you reckon?

Thanks for the fix!

Are you using a noCD ?
It works for me with the original retail .exe and the Razor 1911 noCD
