Is fov config bannable?

[Russia did nothing wrong.]

I want to use a config to increase my fov to what is seen on a 1920x1080 because this game lowers your fov if you use 5120 x 1440. Can i be banned if i use an fov config?

thats stretch resing and its bannable but hard to track, wouldnt recommend it as they do plan to crack down on it.

Just think it is unfair that i can only see my survivors back with a 5120 x 1440

If you're just using stretched resolution by setting your monitor to a different virtual size that's impossible for them to catch.

However, if you're talking about the modified config .pak files that just flat out give you a bigger FOV that's not only scummy and hacking, but very easily identifiable and your computer has probably already been marked for a ban in the next wave.

Stretch res is not bannable yet. That may change in the future as devs have said, but for now it's completely safe to do. It's scummy, but that's all it is.

I am not talking about stretch res. Im tallking about actual configs and engine settings for it.

Stretch res : based on twitch com it is bannable.
For simple engine setting modification ... The safest option is : "at your own risk". So if you get ban you won't be unban.

If you're just changing numbers in gameusersettings.ini, that's never gonna get picked up and isn't bannable. All you're doing is tweaking settings. That's fine, I use that to turn off vsync and change my fullscreen type to exclusive.

But if you're replacing .pak files with edited versions that is already detectable and will get you EAC banned.

I dont want eac ban

Consider this - you might not be punished for using it (yet) but it is most certainly a cheat.

It completely breaks the ideals of how the game is supposed to work with terrain that blocks line of sight. It prevents the ability for the killer to have fair chases. It gives you information you shouldn't have which in turn makes chases easier.

You can learn to be a very good survivor and not use SR.

Just play the game as it's intended to be played and deal with the pro's and con's of it.

End of story.

They will eventually do something about it, its clearly outside of the intended game experience. And yes its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cheating.

Everyone needs to stop assuming OP means Stretched res. They don't. They're asking if it's possible to set it to a different proper resolution, as I'm assuming they have a weird look to what the screen is being set to while they're playing.

I mean if they don't mean that then they need to clarify what they mean because adding FOV is what stretched res is, and messing with resolution will give you a massive advantage.

My suggestion is to buy a standard monitor and not try to game on some ultra wide specialty monitor.

Editing resolution wont get you banned. Changing or editing game files could get you banned, and given its purpose, probably will.

Just stick to stretching your resolution. "Use at your own risk" but no one I've heard of that does it has ever been banned.

[descomtrolado]

no one has been banned for using stretched resolution, and never will be, it doesn't change the game files into something big, the game just tries to ''adapt'' to your resolution.
