{{ii}} The following method doesn't work with the [http://www.wsgf.org/dr/will-rock/en WSGF modified executable]. 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.

# Download, install and run [http://cheatengine.org/downloads.php Cheat Engine].
 
# Launch the game and add <code>willrock.exe</code> process to Cheat Engine.
 
# Find the vertical FOV value <code>59.84044647</code> with the following settings:
 
##Scan type - Exact Value
 
##Value Type - Float
 
##Rounded (default)
 
# Double click the found result to add it to table list.
 
# In the table list copy and paste it and set "adjust the address by" to <code>-4</code> to get the horizontal FOV address (it should point to value 75).
 
# Change the values as you wish (increasing the horizontal value to 90 is good for 16:9 screens).
 
 
'''Notes'''
 
{{ii}} The game changes these values when zooming in/out with the sniper and during cut-scenes. Set a hotkey in Cheat Engine to quickly change back to desired values when it happens.
