Hm, why is there no FOV over 100?

[shombowhore]

I bought a 4:3 TV somewhere in the 90s when widescreen just hit the market. My 4:3 TV has the same width as any so-called widescreen TV at the time. In those early years, the only thing that set widescreen apart was that they were shorter (which is why I didn't get one).

Enough what said? That a skilled player chose to trade some of his accuracy, of which he has plenty to spare, for a larger viewing area? Do you think his underlying reasoning would have been different if he had been using 16:9?

You are hilarious.

The only disadvantage is if someone can't use the settings that they feel comfortable with, the cap limits the WS users so they are the ones suffering now. "WS users can see a few pixels more omg", that would matter if we were talking about viewing skills, but this is a game, you have a mouse, figure out the rest. There are no sane reasons to why the cap should be there no matter how you twist it.

And you speak the truth.

Apparently the ideal solution for some people here is to just force same FOV and same aspect ratio for everyone:/

Bump

I played UT3 @ 1680x1050 and UT2004 yesterday for a while at 1280x800, FOV 100. I couldn't stand it more than a few minutes either. I set it to an absurd value, 30 or so, didn't evne bother to move for more than 10 secs to see I'd get nausea or dizziness.

Really, with an ideal solution or not, Epic should solve this problem. It has nothing to do with gameplay, or see more or less than others, but personal well being.

Benfica, why do you keep bumping a topic that you don't agree with?

Or do you enjoy trolling this topic with your ignorance?

This reason:

Do you play UT2004 confortably, does anyone have any problem with it?

I'm asking this because Epic doesn't tend to change stuff that creates heated discussions, and you may not get anywhere if you don't take baby steps regardless of who is right or wrong. We don't have cross-platform, that thread about tweaking movement didn't get anywhere either, and a few more ...

You are hilarious.

And you unable to make a point?

[Nuppi]

Dunno about you guys but ive played ut from 99 with 110 fov and i know we really could use a fov over 100 with ut3.. no harm in there.. please?

[JUNGLIST MOVEMENT]

They're not going to remove the FOV limit if they know they will have to fix more things.
It will go against their integrity as a company to break the unified style they worked hard to uphold.
no company wants to be called a liar..

[shombowhore]

And you unable to make a point?

No, simply tired of making the same one over and over, only to have it refuted by nonsense. As far as I'm concerned the discussion is over.

[Tears of war]

im pretty sure it just stretches it to fit the screen with different res options

When I ran a server I had a mutator that let you increase it and I set the max FOV to 120... didn't experience any problems with that FOV at all, makes it fair for the widescreen gamers that want their FOV at 105-110 to avoid the problems OP was talking aobut. X_X Proper widescreen support is definitely at the top of my wishlist for a future patch.

[Nuppi]

Yeah.
110 is what ive used to play.
Hopefully larger fov comes with a new patch, hate those mutators :P

Everyone is arguing about advantage and how its unfair for each side but in my eyes its obvious:

If there is 1 player on a server with a 1ghz celeron and voodoo 2 should everyone else with core i7 and gtx 295 be made to play at the same frame rate as him? Lets face it he is at a major disadvantage!

Im afraid its his fault for not moving on with the times and buying a new pc and he just has to accept what he has got.

The same applies to widescreen, whether you like it or not 4:3 / 5:4 is becoming obsolite and as such either live with the fact that over time they will be at a disadvantage or do what everyone else does and buy a widescreen monitor.

I brought mine for the advantage it gives just like i brought my gtx295 for maximum frame rate. If people refuse to move on then its your loss. Epic give people the view they paid for.

N-N-N-NECROPOST!

...the devil made me do it.

has this actually changed meanwhile?
