Battlefield Bad Company 2 "V-FOV" can be set in ini

It sucks that Dx10/11 takes forever to load on 5x00 cards.

Yeah and you get all sorts of glitches if you try and run DX9

Whats an idea FOV?

ideal?

What ever you like the look of.

[fatlazyhomer]

Are the mid-game cutscenes laggy for anyone else?

...and upscaled from 720p from the consoles, they look crap :(

running at an fov of 85 at 1680 x 1050 and it looks good but the fov resets to the universal console fov of 55 after every cut scene. setting the file to "read only" does nothing and the 300 mb patch was useless in taking the consoleness out of this PORT.

I just started playing the single player campaign tonight and have noticed this as well. I've been experimenting with 100-120 FOV and the default is a zoomed-in mess. :roll: At least this shouldn't be an issue in multiplayer, but it's especially frustrating after dealing with this same sort of issue with the UT3 engine, although it was far worse then.

There's a BC2 FOV calculator here, if it hasn't been posted yet:
Battlefield: BC2 FOV Calculator

Enter your resolution, desired horizontal FOV, then enter the vertical FOV into your settings.ini file.

Wait? I've been adjusting the verticle FOV the entire time?

Whats 57x12 suppose to represent horizontally? 180 degrees?

Mine is now working.

It was after the first update that it started working. It didn't work in SinglePlayer though, and my version is STEAM bought.

The best way to test if it works, set it to 200, and see if it has an affect. you WILL be able to tell.

I use mine at FOV=70

I thought all the cutscenes were in-engine, not FMV... maybe I missed a couple?

[Robobandit]

I'm not sure that they were pre-rendered.. my FRAPS framerate fluctuated a lot during those scenes.. usually it stays locked to 30 or so on pre-rendered scenes due to the video framerate.

Hello ...
Did you read the thread ? ...
Perhaps the title was misleading ... I adjusted it to reflect new information.
The FOV can be set in the settings.ini file in the BFBC2 folder in documents.

Here's a tip I just tried & gained a noticable increase in fps. I have an X-Fi card so set mine to 3.

GameSettings.ini :
SoundSystemSize= 1 software(default) / 2 hardware / 3 XFI

Update...holy cow, this setting makes a BIG difference. I'm getting at least +5 fps from this.

Just checked mine as I use an xfi also... and mine is set at 4 by default... lol. I guess thats above the xfi?
edit: nvm saw the post, after it was just the sound type. Mine is set to War Tapes aka #4

Also I have not messed with the FOV yet but I tried a single screen first and then did eyefinity mode and my FOV extended on its own and looked really good to me. I guess you guys are just not happy with that and further extending the fov?

Thanks for your respond i all ready read all for that fov from settings is ok but the gun it is not in the center like MW2?

You'd have to read the previous posts, too. This game actually does not support hardware at all. All audio is software-only. They did this because they're doing audio processing that is not possible to do with hardware. That setting in the .ini just changes the style of the sound, not whether it's using software, hardware, xfi, etc.


As for +fullproc, one of the DICE developers posted on twitter that this command is not used in the game. If people use it, it's just a placebo effect.

What? Are you talking about the position of the gun, or are you talking about bullets not firing to the center of the iron sights?

I have not noticed anything weird or wrong about the position of the gun on the screen. It seems fine for me.

As for the bullets, the game does have bullet travel time. This means that over distance, the bullets will fall off. When sniping, you have to actually use the mildots on the scope. And if you're trying to shoot someone far away with an assault rifle, you need to just account for the fall off yourself.

See this video for an example:

I've gotten a +500 marksman headshot. :)

Hey men! Help please!! :!:
Call for the guru Dopefish!! :bowdown
Is possible to explain step by step (if possible how to change the FOV with modify the file GameSettings.ini ) with text and images about that file change?
More better will made to increase/change the magic little DOPEFISH's software "widescreen Fixer"!!
For example I use the "standard" (in the setting video options about the BBC2 pc version) resolution 3840 x 1024.
I dont know if this can help or is not important, but I use 3 monitors: the central 24" and the others 2 in 21" inches... and, of course, the wonderful TH2GO!
Thanks in advance! :cheers
(sorry for my bad english!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Hey man, just open your config file (my documents->bfbc2->settings.ini) and change the fov= value to whatever you want. It's that easy! :cheers

[Tulamat]

What change the FOV value I can use ? :?:
For the resolution 3840 x 1024 (I use usualy format 3 x 5:4 surround like in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2) ! :D
Is possible this?
:arrow: My OS is windows 7 64 bit... :doh
Thanks at all in advance!!
