Widescreen Support

Method

Hor+ widescreen support is a combination of .ini edit (for the res), and console hack (for the FOV), as follows:

For the resolution:
open autoexec.cfg in your AvP2 folder and change
"SCREENWIDTH" "1280"
"GameScreenHeight" "720"
"SCREENHEIGHT" "720"
"GameScreenWidth" "1280"
my cfg file did not have them together so you may have to hunt around for them.

For the FOV:
Load game.
In-game, hit Enter.
Type <cheat> mpfov.
You should now be able to modify the FOV using the A & D keys.
Change FOV to suit your taste
Hit Enter.
Type <cheat> mpfov.
Now you are back in regular gameplay mode with the adjusted FOV.
You will have to do this every time you play.

Surround Gaming support

Known Issues

In-game Hor+ view can be achieved through a command. This command allows FOV to be set narrower or wider via two buttons. You can't set it to exact value, nor can you see the current value and also you can't save the current setting.
