Does the FOV hack work fine in multiplayer?

Grade: D+

CCE: 98%

Hack solution is a damaging flaw.

Wait...what? D+? Really? Seeing as plain-old Vert- is C(+), it would actually score higher if no one had bothered to create the FOV tool? Or is there something else wrong that I'm missing?

From what I experienced, the FOV worked fine in multiplayer without getting booted.

I'm with marine even though you get a better experience the score still drops, at the very least a hack should continue to produce a C/C+ assuming it works flawlessly in multiplayer, If it does not then it deserves a D.

If you want to use a custom resolution all you have to do is go to your shortcut properties and add "-vidmode width, height, refreshrate" (eg. "-vidmode 1680, 1050, 60") to the target. This should work for any resolution although I have only tested it up to 2560 x 1600. Last I checked the 1.08 patch breaks Bitterbanana's FOV hack so you might want to look for an up to date version or something else to post since 1.08 is going to become a mandatory update soon (if it hasn't become one already).

Hack solutions result in a D grade. That's how the grading system has worked since it existed. If you want to propose a change to the grading system itself, this isn't the right place for it. The Insider's "Site Updates & Requests" board is more appropriate if you want to make a thread there.

...I was using 1.08 and the FOV hack worked fine for me in both singleplayer and multiplayer.

We tend to be hard on devs who could have given us more than they did. If we can come up with a solution for Hor+ WS, then they should have up front.

The fact that a 3rd party unraveled their code and wrote a patch to fix their issue (that they could have avoided, and/or could have fixed in their own patch) points to the fact that either they don't support our vision, or are lazy.

I guess in this sense, it may be more a reflection of the dev than the game. But the fact that they made the community work so hard counts against them.

The game uses a FOV of 70 by default, that is correct, but that is not the right FOV for the game. It looks normal with a FOV of 90 on a 4:3 Display, just like it should look. They had to change it to 70 for the xbox. On the PC, of course, you can use a FOV of 90. And if you have an 16:10 screen, you should use a FOV of 100!
