What's your FOV?
I switched to 90V/122H wondering what's yours and why

A lot of games started using 70 for some reason, which annoys me.
I always find a way to get back to 90 in those cases.

You also have to consider the distance from monitor.
And on and on....
Be nice when we can all have decent VR headsets that don't make us throw up :)

Still using the default one, but have been considering changing to a little bit higher FOV for a while now. I won't put it up too high, because they way it is now, you get a fisheye effect.

Don't you get a fish eye affect at 122H (horizontal)?

The default 59V (vertical) works out to 90H (horizontal) on a 16:9 ratio monitor.
i.e. 1920x1080
Hence being the default.

Unless you're running an odd ratio monitor or have multiple monitors, going past 90-100H would look kinda odd I'd reckon.

Not sure, you can check.

My monitor https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG279Q/. I play on 2560 x 1440

Yeah, 2560 x 1440 is still a 16:9 ratio monitor.
You can see a bunch of suggested values in the following thread on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/1xl1z5/brief_table_for_calculating_fieldofview_vertical/

This is the source of the values in DefaultPlayerSettings.ini.

Cheers. Tested and looks like there is no fish eye now on 67/77

However, what do you think about optimal FOV in games. Our eye is not 90. It's hard to emulate the eyes.
