| Widescreen resolution | |||
| Multi-monitor | Use Flawless Widescreen or Widescreen Fixer. | ||
| Ultra-widescreen | Image is stretched from 16:9. Use Flawless Widescreen or Widescreen Fixer. | ||
| 4K Ultra HD | Entire HUD scales very poorly at higher resolutions. | ||
| Field of view (FOV) | Use Flawless Widescreen; alternatively, FOV be modified by editing <path-to-game>Data\settings\renderer_settings.xml and changing the value of "aspect ratio". A value of 2 to 2.5 is recommended for 16:9 displays, with 2.3 being ideal with minimal clipping of weapon models.[2] For example, <variable name="aspect_ratio" value="0"/> becomes <variable name="aspect_ratio" value="2.3"/> |
