EDIT : Moved to tidy up the Solution.


This is simpler than the demo hack. Just go to your:

C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsMonolith ProductionsFEAR

folder and in there is a settings.cfg (will appear after you have loaded the game once). Just enter your desired rez and the game with set the FOV automatically.

Oh, and set the detail options before you set the new rez otherwise when you acept the settings you will revert back to the game set rez.

Could you explain "Oh, and set the detail options" ??

So I can add it here....


F.E.A.R. RETAIL VERSION WIDESCREEN HACK

You must start the game one time then save & exit & go into:

The file is found
My Computer > right mouse click > choose Explore > then go to
C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsMonolith ProductionsFEAR

The file is named settings.cfg & is a size of 46kb open it with notepad or a suitable editor program &

then you scroll down until you see the following & this is where you change the setings to your requirements
then resave the file in the same folder.

(I changed it to 1920 X 1200)

"GammaB" "1.973183"
"GammaG" "1.973183"
"GammaR" "1.973183"
"BitDepth" "32"
"HardwareCursor" "1.000000"
"ScreenWidth" "1920"
"VSyncOnFlip" "1.000000"
"ScreenHeight" "1200"

THEN

If you go into the game and choose ... Options ... Display ... it will show up as 640x480 and then re-set it's self to this res. (So don't go into this option.)

If you go into the game and choose
... Options ... Performance ... Advanced Video Card Options ... Graphics ... it should show the 1920x1200 res in there ... second from
bottom.

You might want to try 1680 not 1600...

Also, don't go into the Display Options once you've set the res - only into Performance...

This worked great, thank you!

It would be nice if games were released with multi-monitor support. :D

I have a widescreen monitor that supports up to 1280x800 resolution.However..when i change the settings.cfg to that the game resets no matter what to 640x480.Any suggestions?

Are you doing this ... ?

From the solution above ...
If you go into the game and choose ... Options ... Display ... it will show up as 640x480 and then re-set it's self to this res. (So don't go into this option.)


Once you have set the res don't go here or it will reset itself.

I am doing the same thing as Than .. but every time I launch the game, it starts in 640x480. I have my monitor hooked up via DVI .. I doubt this *would cause the problem .. but more info anyways..
