Excellent. :D

Does that stay permanent, or do you have to reset it each time?

Unfortunately I think you will have to put it in after each cut scene ... :(

Right. Unfortunate, but not too major a problem. Wonder if you can bind a key to do it automatically...?

Now we have a solution for this, I'm moving it from Stretched to Hack/Mod. 'K? :)

I'm not sure it is perfect ... as I say it may help.
I use the Matrox Parhelia to run 3 screens and try to get games going at 1920x480, 2400x600, 3072x768, 3840x1024.

Check out some of these screenshots for various games ...

For me the height FOV was still squashed for Max Payne 2... but it may help those that are not using such extreme aspect ratios.
Sorry there is no screenshot for Max Payne 2 ... I didn't like the squashed "look" so I removed it from my comp.

While that is most impressive, having that big an FOV would give me a headache after a while. ;)

Good to have a Parhelia gamer here. :D

It should have helped a bit ...
Did it not help at all ?

FOV_100? Something higher still, maybe?
