Hi, ive played world of warcraft in both widescreen and normal resolutions. and though warcraft give you the option to play in widescreen ratios ive come to believe it is cutting off the top and bottom areas in order to fit the widescreen ratio. This has become an irritation because its limiting my vertical field of view.

Was wondering if there is a way or hack around this.
or at least anybody else can confirm this.

Have you tried adjusting the field of view? You can use the fov option through the console. Type fov and number (like: fov 100).

There are some 4:3 and 16:10 comparisons of WoW in the screenshots gallery. :)

same problem for me.
I remember i was able to change the fov in the beta with the command

SET fov "100"

in the file "config.wtf"
but it doesn't work anymore in the final version.

Talk about this problem in the official wow forum, so that blizzard add a correct support for widescreen.
I did post on europe french wow forum, but without success.

I've used this two pics to show the problem, use can use them:
- a game that support widescreen:

- wow: (original 4/3, orignal 16/10 and a fake corrected 16/10):

This is not a problem because if you notice when they make the screen bigger and cut the top and bottom off, it is simply zoomed in.

Notice the orc is bigger in the widescreen version. To fix, simply zoom out a little more so the orc is the same size as the first version. There you have your fix for your top and bottom being cut off.

this is not a fix, it doesn't work for interior where camera is limited.
zoom and FOV is not the same thing
