FoV not changing?

[Loggahead]

All, any tips on changing the FoV? I am modifying the FoV setting in the settings.ini and it doesn't change the fov. I feel like my face is smashed up against my monitor while playing. That said, this is primarily in SP as I haven't been able to get mp to work yet :(

Anyone? The default fov is killing me

I am the same bro, I'm guessing for the time being we will just have to bite the bullet and get on with things :( Hopefully someone will know of a trick though :D

Widescreen Fixer will sort all your SP FOV problems. Get it here: https://www.widescreenfixer.org/

Just run it before starting the game, then you can alt-tab back and forth altering FOV on the fly. On a 16:9 monitor I find adding 15 is about right.

AFAIK editing settings.txt only changes the multiplayer portion of the game - which is understandable considering FOV fixes make some SP cutscenes look a bit odd.

I agree widescreen fixer does the trick, constantly adding games that will allow this to work.

OOPS ! it does not support BFBC 2

Does anyone know why Widescreen fixer isn't working for me?

I've downloaded the latest version (released about 10 days ago), opened the BC2 fix, put the slider at +15 degrees, set up a hotkey, minimize it to the tray, open BC2 and start a game.
However, everytime I attempt to use the hotkey, nothing happens. I've tried the default hotkey and various other custom ones.

Anyone else having this problem? I can hardly find ANY information about FOV in this game, let alone widescreen fixer.
Can someone maybe tell me what hotkeys they are using and what exactly it says in the box?

(I can hardly stand to play this game for longer than 20 minutes at a time, that FOV is so dang low)

edit
I'm playing the Origin version, btw. I come here because EA shutdown the forum for their own game, and most other places discuss the console version...

You're not changing the FOV correctly, the FOV value is stored in the "settings.ini" but you're using the wrong values because BC2 uses Vertical FOV instead of Horizontal FOV, in short to have a 90° FOV you do not put "FOV=90"

Go here
http://www.rjdown.co.uk/projects/bfbc2/fovcalculator.php
Follow the directions and insert the Calculated value into the "FOV=x" line of "settings.ini"

Alternatively there're BC2 launchers available that when provided with a desired FOV will automatically do the calculation and .ini edit for you
iirc FioPro's launcher and Gossam's launcher are the popular launchers; both allow almost all .ini values to be easily edited, great if you're scared or inept at modifying .ini's

In the same exact boat, Origin edition, Widescreenfixer doesn't work.

Widescreen fixer doesnt seem to work on the Origins version of the game. Tried to get it to work on Origin for a while until I finally gave up and tested it on the Steam version where it works flawlessly.
