Widescreen Gaming Forum

I'll see what I can do. I'll try to do a FOV fix at first. Since you can get the correct aspect ratio by setting your desktop resolution, that won't really be a primary goal for the fix. I'll have to pick up the game to start work on it.

Wow, are they serious? I bought BioShock without realizing it didn't have widescreen support, good thing I waited this time before shelling out the cash... No buy until they get proper Hor+ support in.

can you give us a hint in general about the concept of finding FOV values in memory..?

i tried to search for initial unknown value, then when i zoom in using ironsights, i search for decreased value etc. and i assume the value is ranged between 45 and 90. but then, at the end, i'm still not able to find it and modify it... can u tell us some tricks?

i have somewhat OK hacking skills.. i might be able to see what i can do so taht all of us can play with true HOR+ wide screen and Triplehead asap! :)

thanks!

The FOV is not always based on degrees.

Battlefield, for example, uses 1.0 or 1.1 as the default FOV.

I use MHS and Ollydbg to figure the stuff out. MHS is used for finding things in memory, and then Ollydbg is used for tracing it back to its origin.

ic.. thanks,

but how would u know what to search for..? do u also use the decrease/increase value trick to find the address?

Yeah. Forcing a value to change is the easiest way to narrow things down.

Zoom in = decreased value.
Zoom out = increased value.

If you're using 16:10, search for 1.6, or if the float isn't accurate enough, just try a range of 1.5-1.7. Change resolutions and search for differences. There's a lot of things that can be done to try and narrow it down.

You have to keep in mind that even if you find the value you're looking for, 99.9% of the time that's not the end of it. Finding the value is the easiest part. Everything else that follows is complex and difficult.

Doh, yeah.

I've been trying to filter things out in a better way but it's not working apparently, hehe.

You should be able to access it again.

Hahaha, Paddywak that second thread of yours on the Ubisoft forums has gained some sweet traction. Lets all hope its gotten enough attention to warrant a quick fix so we can play this game in our preferred resolution modes!

As my posts about Bioshock did ... getting us a much needed fix.
