OMG, genius !
I don't have FarCry2 but that's just excellent for FC2 owners. Thanks.

This totally awsome! I just got my copy and barely thru the tutorial part..
Wooohooooo!!!!!!

what a guy, thanks racer and paddy

Is Far Cry 2 any good? Is it comparable to Crysis?

Thanks...

Thankee, going to try this now :)

Excellent news Paddy and cheers Racer_S!
I donated some to DF to help him on the way to this but he was beaten to it, well all goes to a good cause :) and I'll add the same to Racer's as well.

Far Cry 2 PC game.....$99
Matrox TH2Go Dig Ed....$749
3x24" Dells........$1500
A rig to run 'em....$lots


Guys that put the effort in to help the community get a decent product....PRICELESS

Works and a definite improvement, but I am still finding the view a little off. I can't alt-tab to the trainer without FC2 crashing so it's difficult to play with the numbers, so any other recommended x/y values for 48:10 or is it already as good as it's going to get?

No need to Alt-Tab out of the game ... instructions for altering the settings are on the front of the tool and you can do it in game.

Those settings were a pretty damned close match to the 5:4 ... took me ages to get to them ... lol

Great Work Racer_S...Thanks a ton


Has anyone found the perfect settings for triple 5:4's (3840x1024)?

Thanks

I don't know if these are the mathematically perfect settings, but I'm perfectly happy with the X FOV setting at 2.94.

Ah, brain-fart...I'll try again :roll:

Great 'Britishism'! Or are you from across the pond and the phrase is common over there as well?

I'm British, you muppet!

No, I've heard and used it before and I was raised in upstate New York.

Pip-pip and all that, England signing in :lol:

Great fix, works a treat...

sadly I feel it may also have demonstrated why the devs chose not to release with widescreen support - when I use the fov hack to correct the disply, I get flickering shadows, particularly obvious on the hill sides, but visible in other places...

assuming not everyone is having this problem, so for the record, my rig:

q9550 @3.4
4GB OCZ DDR2 800
4870x2

vista ultimate 64
latest catalyst hotfix

running at 1920x1200

edit - natch running everything on highest available settings, 4x AA...

Excellent work! Donation made.

Working perfectly for me in 3840x1024. A credit to Ubi that I'm getting good frames at this resolution even with AA enabled and fire raging.

I was enjoying this game on one screen.... It is sooooooo much better in triple head.

Thanks RacerS!

Thanks again Racer_S, it is getting where I won't even install a game until I see one of your fixes is available!

didn't get a chance to play FC2 yet but

YOU ARE THE MAN!! racer_s

racer_s - my own personal Jesus :)
