My copy arrived today ... yippie The aspect ratio and resolution are ok though ... BUT ... the FOV is not right for TH ... :( Looking for ways to increase that FOV which is currently vert-. The games graphics look better than I was expecting from screens I have seen posted by others on the net ... but it is early in the game, I haven't played very far at all because of that FOV issue. |

Yeah it is a bummer ... :( What it does is it takes your aspect ratio from your desktop res. To play it in single screen until we get a FOV fix is also a bit akward ... If you try to use a single screen res in the game but your desktop is a TripleHead res you will have a messed up aspect ratio. You need to set your desktop to a single screen resolution then use that resolution in the game. The FOV and AR will then be correct. I'll try to post some screenshots later today ... I have to get on with some work right now. |

1280x1024 desktop res ... 1280x1024 in game ... 
1680x1050 desktop ... 1680x1050 in game ... vert- compared with 1280x1024 ... 
It seems to take the aspect ratio from the desktop resolution and the FOV is fixed horizontally to that aspect ratio/resolution ... i.e. vert- 1680x1050 desktop ... 5040x1050 in game ... 
5040x1050 desktop ... 1680x1050 in game ... 
5040x1050 desktop ... 5040x1050 in game ... 
Now that messes with my head ... :lol: |

I notice 1680/1680 has the same FOV as 1680/5040, could you try a 16:9 desktop resolution to see if further squashes the FOV? |

Looks like we're in for another "bioshock spike". This may be good enough to get us onto digg and kotaku again. |

this uses the same engine as crysis's right? could we use the same fix? |

It's not the same engine and Crysis ... and Crysis worked in WS and TH out of the box. |

This reminds me of Medal of Honor, or indeed Bioshock. This one is definitely worth lobbying the devs for ;) |
