Obviously you are way out of your depth here as you dont know what Vert minus is. UE3 uses Hor FOV but is a Vert Minus engine by default. Here : http://www.fpsbanana.com/tuts/9486 "Widescreen Methods : Not all forms of widescreen are the same, seeing as this is primarily a FPS gaming site I'm going to point out the three common methods of widescreen that you will see in your gaming career. Each of these methods effect the game in different ways, and some are more desirable than others. Horizontal Plus (HOR+) Horizontal plus games maintain almost perfect vertical view distance, and provide extra pixels into the width of the game. This is the best, purest, and most desirable method of widescreen - as you only gain instead of losing. Vertical Minus (VERT-) Vertical minus achieves it's widescreen by removing elements from the top and the bottom of the screen. Obviously, this is horrible as you're losing aspects of the game that standard 4:3/5:4 players can see. Stalker, BioShock, and almost anything on the Unreal 3 engine are perfect examples of Vert- video games. "
ATTN Core 2 Quad users: how does this game run for you? im "trying" to run this game on a Q6600 @ 3.4 with dual 8800's and 4 gigs ram, but it runs crappy on DX10, i put it to DX9 and that smoothed it out some but i still have to turn things down like shadows which are very cpu dependant. i know the vid cards are up to it because with my i5 system they run it flawlessly (tested to see) Width=2048 Height=1152 Fullscreen=true RefreshRate=59.909 VSync=true [Sound] Quality=low VoipEnable=false [Graphics] Effects=low Soldiers=high Vehicles=high Overgrowth=high Undergrowth=high StaticObjects=high Terrain=high Shadows=low Bloom=low HSAO=false MSAA=0 Water=medium MainQuality=custom Texture=high DxVersion=9 Aniso=3 Detail=high RenderAheadLimit=2 Fov=78 Win7 x64, 260.89 beta my minimum frame rates are 45. i would have thought it would run better than BC2 but it doesn't ...
I'm glad you wrote this because people swear that the FOV calculator is precise for BFBC2 which I think uses the same method you are talking about, because in every other game 90 has always been fine for me, but with the FOV's recommendation for 90degrees it feels way too small, I have it set to 75 which is like 110degrees, and it still feels like 75 in other games :S
@ dchalf10, That is true for MP, the topic was SP not MP though so not compairable to the BC2's Frostbite engine. I tested the SP at 85 and 90 and it looks as it should, at 100+ it looks crap and downside is I played the game with no FOV adjustent with a sore head as completed it by time we got info.
Anyone know of any quick fixes for the insane amount of lag and tearing you get in multiplayer? Ive enabled vsync and it does more or less nothing to help instead adding a lovely stutter to the game when turning mouse. fps is not bad, 1080p, 4xmsaa, 16xaf, HBAO on, all maxed 60 - 90fps. But its up and down like a hookers mini skirt. Creating some of the worst tearing I have ever seen in a game ever and I normally play with Vsync disabled in all my MP games. Ive tried triple buffering as well and that made things even worse. The game is ok for MP, too many snipers, and too much spawn killing. But when your not on the receiving end of all that its actually quite fun.
The FOV command actually doesn’t work at this point so must be placebo, try your self 50 or 200 there is no difference
no differance here i was just going to say idk if i was doing it wrong or not. sp game looks rather blah,can i help it in some way? right now all high(not me the settings)1600x1200. game seems like same sh!t over and over but i'm trying to like it,got to where you kill the mortar guys and drove out of the compound.......hope it gets better. btw 35.99 for dl version
if your using 260.63 or 250.89, force vsync in the games profile. i found if you dont vsync doesnt work properly.
Game looks pretty poor, even with AA enabled in options getting really bad jaggies on stuff I usualy dont see them even in games with no AA. Like on barrels right in front of me. I'm only getting 25% GPU usage capped at 60 FPS. Think it was rushed out to beat COD to the market and it shows. Not diggin the game one bit, just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The shallow COD rip off on rails gameplay. Crap animations, crap graphics in general, terrible FOV and no ability to change it as of now. The MP is just meh. Seriously would not recommend this to anyone, better wait for COD if that is your thing or get BFBC2 for the multiplayer. I'm kind of forcing my self to play the SP at the moment and every half an hour I quit disgusted. The zoomed in view is driving me crazy but I could bear it in BFBC2 SP with the open maps when it came out but in this everything is claustrophobic due to small levels that makes the problem worse and the game in general there is just nothing there to hold my attention.
It's a shame they didn't take another six months or so on the SP to make it something worth buying the game for, as for MP well you might as well just play BFBC2 or MW1 or 2
Would you guys say this game is more realistic or less than COD:MW2? I have no plans of getting the next MW game as the over the top game play (running 100mph dodging bullets stabbing people, running around with 2 Shotguns, exploding remote cars and crossbows) has turned me off to the point that I never plan on playing another COD game. I wish they would come out with something a little more....real. Not ARMA real but something like the old Ghost Recon or Rainbow 6 games....those were the days.
Why not they give us sweet DX11 for 5 series + in SP, I don't want my wife to buy it for my Birthday now (not that she probably wants to anyway)? :crocodiletears: Perhaps I'll ask for another game, and if I'm a good boy, maybe I won't get cold porridge for dinner.
I just bought it on steam. I take peoples comments to a certain extent. I havent played the sp yet, but mp is alot of damn fun. I like the shooting explosions and way better team work then badcompany or cod. Good Mix and good maps to.
I heard the 4 soldiers who helped make this game are getting a court Marshall. Hope EA payed them well. They're also being accused of "Treason"
I downloaded the game, could say that the SP feels a little bit incomplete. Textures feels like a little bland, movement isnt natural. What keeps me going is the story, seems a little interesting. Weapons feel very good. Games is covered with all types of bugs, in a moment you are looking tru your scope and when u are off of it, puff a taliban in front of you! WTF! Dead bodys, or killing does not feel very good. I agreed they rushed the game, cant actually say is that bad but is not even close to be the game that they showed in the trailers. GFX is average, not goood, explosions are a little dumb.... like 5 years old game... Wont recommended for anybody that compares to the mw franchise.
