Widescreen Gaming Forum

Me again, MASSIVE thanks to Racer_S for the DX10 patch it works a treat! Woo hoo! The game looks so much better with the hack it's not even funny!

I have noticed that occasionally the shaders/textures take a split second to load-in on an object after the game has loaded (meaning for a split-second some objects are low-res, then go back to normal) but it's barely noticeable... this is from a loaded slot of a non-hacked play through, so i'll try a new game. I'm certainly not complaining!!! Just thought you'd want to know of any bugs! Thanks again, finally I can enjoy the game :)

I'd also like to say thanks to Paddy The Wak for brining this issue to light, and Googlestater & Drexion for the very comprehensive how-to on the FOV settings :)

what FOV values are you guys using? I have a 37" monitor

Saw the news earlier about v1.2 with additional support for DX10 and re-instated my Steam purchase, although I loath the whole root-kit thing I am weak, plain and simple.

If memory serves there was an option to show appreciation to Racer_S by was of a donation, might be a good time to re-post that link if someone has a copy of it.

I wouldn’t suggest we discus this in the Widescreen topic but if you want to continue discussing it I will post a response in the "Why I won't buy Bioshock." thread.

Confirmed working in Vista 32-bit and DX10.

You are my hero.

Someone remind me why we need an official patch.

So we dont have to open a seperate piece of software eveytime we want to play the game :) Not that it is horrible or anyting.

Also because it's the right thing to do. It would be selfish to be satisfied with a fanmade hack that only a small percentage of Bioshock players with widescreens are aware of and have the technical experience and knowledge to use.

what FOV values are you guys using? I have a 37" monitor

I saw another message back in the early-mid twenties that said the correct ratios are 0.84 for both width and height...anyone else care to comment?

Paddywak EDIT: ...
The current version of the tool works in both XP and Vista 23 and 64.

I found that 16:9 users should set it to:
Width FOV: 0.75
Height FOV: 0.75

16:10 users:
Width FOV: 0.84
Height FOV: 0.84[/color]
