Widescreen Gaming Forum

any1 who can provide me a solution? is ubisoft coming out with a new patch to fix this? T_T

You didn't get it right. This is not a fullscreen hack... just a FOV hack... ;)

It corrects the horizontal field of vision in Triplehead and won't remove the top and bottom black bars. On your non-widescreen display, the game takes place in a 16:9 area inside your 4:3 panel, hence the black bars. In TripleHead the aspect ratio is much wider than 16:9, so the black bars just disappear.

The FOV hack has nothing to do with it, blame the game's 16:9 anamorphism. There will be no patch as this is how the developers intended the game to look. :( You can always contact Ubisoft and tell them how you hate to pay for so many black pixels...

You can use it to get fullscreen.

There is some aspect ratio value it is actually the multiplicative inverse value of the ratio.

So 16:10...

1050/1680 = .625

and 4:3...

768/1024 = .75

and so on.

[quote]For 3840x1024 you need to set it like this ...
Aspect: 0.2659 (same for any 3 x 5:4 res)


For those running 5040x1050 you need to set it like this ...
Aspect: 0.2659 (same for any 3 x 16:10 res)

Uh ? I was expecting different values here... Not too sure how you'd calculate that number anyway.

What would the right value be? I'm about to finally load this game.

I just answered that Ibrin. Divide your height by your width.

I tried using the latest version aFOV3 but the game crashes once i activated it by pressing *. I used aFOV2 and set my aspect to 0.75 , right 1024 , bottom 768 and i didnt get a fullscreen. It's as if nothing happened but when i press - the screen stretches wider which makes it looks worse. I can't seem to 'stretch' vertically. any ideas?

Hey, glad I was wrong. That tool can really get rid of all black bars ! It's a bit tricky but it works :

-set the FOV hack tool before you launch the game.
-enter your resolution's values in the "Left" (width) and "Top" (height) boxes, NOT in the "Right" and "Bottom" ones.
-set the slider to these values according to your AR :
for 4:3 use 0.075
for 16:10 use 0.625
-the game will directly open with no letterboxing, so you shouldn't have to press a single Numpad key.

scavvenjahh, i've done exactly as you said but for some reasons it won't work for me. i opened afov3, launched the game (dx9) and i get in the game i still see the black bars. I played a bit with the figures to put in the top,left,right or bottom but it all ended the same. I can somehow stretch wider or narrower by pressing - or + for version 1.00.79336, no matter what figures i input in the top,right,left,bottom but won't stretch vertically. As for version 1.02 either i get a blank screen after i launched the game or the black bars remain. Should I just give up. -_-?

Certainly not, but I don't have a clue why it won't work for you :oops:
