Hey guys, just thought I'd share my findings on the game Blockland and the simple fix to get it working with any widescreen system.
Native Behaviour
The game is normally Vert- as you can see from the screenshots below.
(1680x1050)
(1600x900)
The Fix
There is hope, however. A simple console command allows you to set whatever FOV value you prefer...
Code:
setdefaultfov("100 100 100");
Note that "100 100 100" is the default value. I, for instance, use "140 140 140" at my resolution of 6060x1080 (Bezel corrected resolution).
Below are images that show how bad the Vert- behavior can be at 5760x1080 vs. a "typical" resolution of 1440x900.

The Game
I realize the game probably isn't well known, it being an indie game and all. The slogan of the game sums it up perfectly; "The game where you build stuff". If you enjoyed playing with LEGO as a kid (or still do) then you may find BL to be quite an interesting game. It is certainly a good time-waster should you need one, and there are plenty of creative elements that are available for use. If you want to know more and/or purchase the game you can find it at http://www.blockland.us.
