Video settings
Field of view (FOV)
- Vertical and horizontal FOV values can be changed individually. Increasing the horizontal value fixes screen stretching on widescreen resolutions, but the HUD and menus remain stretched.
- This method doesn't work with the WSGF modified executable, use the WSGF Cheat Engine table which is limited to changing only the horizontal FOV.
