FOV really low

[Skali]

Good day,

to me, the FOV feels really cramped and not like 100 degrees. I tried to modify it in the registry, however it gets overwritten on startup. Does anyone know a workaround to get past the max settings?

after modifying the registry is it possible to tick "read only"?

Unfortunately not, though I figured out what causes the issue. I'm playing on a 21:9 monitor, and despite the FAQ stating otherwise, the game does currently not support 21:9. It's a 16:9 image that gets cropped at the top and bottom, resulting in a weird FOV.

The camera itself in this game looks terrible it needs some work. The FOV options isn't even that great either. The view just seems way off in this game right now no matter how you put your FOV. They just need to load up any first person game and look around and then go back and fix their camera. Or maybe it's because I'm on a 32:9 monitor. Either way the camera needs work. The camera is fine when you man turrets though.

Can confirm it seemed pretty squashed on my 21:9. When I changed it to 2560x1440 it didn't seem to be any better though so not sure if it was actually cropping it as some games tend to do. overall was just too janky and difficult for me and my friend to play, so we refunded. I like the idea of this game though so I hope it does get some TLC over time. My friend isn't a hardcore player, and I suspect many people attracted to this game are casual players also.

To explain properly what is going on with 21:9 and beyond, the game is overriding how Unity handle FoV at different aspect ratios. By default when Unity tries to render a scene at different aspect ratios, it will bind the FoV to the vertical axis, this results in more being renders as the aspect ratio gets wider. We call this behaviour Horizontal Plus (Hor+) and it is the correct behaviour, as wider displays are not placed further back on a persons desk, in stead they take up more of the players physical horizontal FoV.

The problem is on loading (either first time or changing areas) or on changing any settings, the game is changing the FoV so it is fixed horizontally, this results in the top and bottom of the screen being cut off, lowing the actual FoV for the player (referred to as vertical minus, or Vert-). This results in motion sickness on 21:9 displays, and the game being unplaying on 32:9 or a triple monitor setup (chop off the top and bottom 1/3 of your 16:9 display and that is the effect).

As a temporary fix, if you change the resolution back to 1080p, apply, then change it back to your monitors native resolution. and apply again. This will force the behaviour back to Unity's default, and correct, behaviour. At least until you start or end a mission or restart the game.

Just bought the game, the 100 FOV is absolutely abhorrent on 3440x1440.

same. thought the fov seemed oddly low, didn't realize it was because of 21:9. what a shame.

The switch to 1920x1080 and back to 5120x1440 does fix the issue, for a minute or so. The game feels unplayable until this is fixed.

+1 for this issue, ultrawide 3440x1440. FOV bug for me too.

Was actually going to check in recently if they've fixed it yet but seems like they haven't. Really sucks because the game is fun but completely unplayable in ultrawide

I've been playing on 21:9 and haven't noticed this issue. What am I missing here. Maybe I'm not as sensitive to the FOV as others?

Here's a screenshot of how it looks for me at 21:9.
