FOV slider values?
Does anyone happen to know what the minimum and maximum values are on the FOV slider in this game? I tried Googling this myself, but all I find are pages about how pirated copies don't have an FOV slider.

Thanks!

see : http://www.wsgf.org/dr/far-cry-4/en

Supports Mixed Res Eyefinity with 16:9 - 21:9 - 16:9. The game has an FOV slider in the graphics options, but it disappears when Eyefinity/Surround resolutions are used. The FOV can manually be set in the GameProfile.xml file.

Change the value of FOVScaleFactor.

Default is 1.0. The slide offers a range from 0.75 to 1.50, though you can set virtually any value you desire.

also there is no FOV slider available in 21:9 aspect ratio i think .. as that aspect ratio was added after the game shipped in Patch 1.5.0

and a non legit copy has no FOV adjustment

I saw that plenty of times, but that doesn't really make it any clearer. If the slider ranges from 75% to 150% of the default FOV, what is the default FOV?

try to read the post i just made a lil closer

it says Default is 1.0. The slide offers a range from 0.75 to 1.50, though you can set virtually any value you desire.
The Good Dave Oct 20, 2016 @ 5:44pm 
Is the default FOV 65? 80? Is it measured horizontally or vertically? None of that information is there.

if you have a 16:10 screen no matter what the game will be letterboxed

see the link i included .. http://www.wsgf.org/dr/far-cry-4/en




also if you have a non legit version .. you have no control over the FOV ..as that was added in a patch just prior to release

shipped version of the game was already @ 1.2.0

I'm asking for a measurement of the values of the FOV slider. They're scalar based on a default FOV, fine. What is the value of the default FOV? The answer to that question is nowhere in your responses or on the page you're linking.
-=SOF=-WID99 Oct 20, 2016 @ 6:25pm 
the default value is 1.0 read the page over on WSGF ?? what version of the game DO YOU OWN ?

what screen(s) are you trying to operate that is giving you a problem ?



if you have a non legit version (since i can see you do not own the steam version )

there is no FOV control as your missing a patch that added it

if you have a legit Uplay only version ..ask Ubisoft Support

if you have a 16:10 aspect ratio screen yes the game will be letter boxed as it shows on the site i linked
-=SOF=-WID99 Oct 20, 2016 @ 6:30pm 
the fov range is .75 to 1.50 as i already posted and linked what now 4 times ?

the default FOV is 1.0 ..and that was your question

what was the range and how do you adjust it ..

see http://www.wsgf.org/dr/far-cry-4/en

Baseline (Widescreen) Solution & Issues
Graphics options start with the Aspect set to "Auto". This autodetects your native aspect ratio, and offers those resolutions. You can manually select a different aspect ratio and resolution. You must manually select the Aspect Ratio first.

If you want the proper FOV in 16:10, you must edit the GameProfile.xml file. If you don't edit the file, the game will be letterboxed on top of the 16:9 FOV. This is only needed for any FOV "less than" 16:9. Using this setting in 21:9 or Eyefinity/Surround will result in Vert- gameplay.

c:\(User)\My Documents\My Games\Far Cry 4
Change the value of UseWidescreenFOV from 1 to 0.



Ultra-Widescreen (21:9) Specific Solution & Issues
As with Eyefinity/Surround, the FOV slider is missing from the graphics options in 21:9. It can be set manually. See the solution in Eyefinity/Surround.



Eyefinity / Surround Specific Solution & Issues
Supports Mixed Res Eyefinity with 16:9 - 21:9 - 16:9. The game has an FOV slider in the graphics options, but it disappears when Eyefinity/Surround resolutions are used. The FOV can manually be set in the GameProfile.xml file.

c:\(User)\My Documents\My Games\Far Cry 4
Change the value of FOVScaleFactor.

Default is 1.0. The slide offers a range from 0.75 to 1.50, though you can set virtually any value you desire.

The Good Dave Oct 20, 2016 @ 6:44pm 
"1" is not an FOV value. FOV is measured in degrees. You do not have 1-degree field of view.

In degrees, what FOV is represented by the default value?
-=SOF=-WID99 Oct 20, 2016 @ 6:46pm 
do you own a legit version of the game ?
-=SOF=-WID99 Oct 20, 2016 @ 6:47pm 
the FOV value on mine a steam copy says

FOVScaleFactor="1.5"
-=SOF=-WID99 Oct 20, 2016 @ 6:47pm 
if i drop it it says 1.0
The Good Dave Oct 20, 2016 @ 6:49pm 
Look, you clearly have no idea what I'm asking or how any of this works, so please stop commenting and let someone who does understand what I'm asking have an opportunity to respond.
-=SOF=-WID99 Oct 20, 2016 @ 6:49pm 
if you have a pirate copy you may not have that option available as i already said 3 times


if you have a multi monitor setup see the WSGF page more them 5 times

yet you have posted no info about your setup nor your version of the game

so contact Ubisoft support
