Method

  • In your Advent Rising root directory go into the "system" folder.
    • Open "Mydefault.ini" with a text editor. Find FullscreenViewportY=**** and FullscreenViewportX=****.
    • Change to your desired resolution.
  • Open up "MyDefUser.ini" with a text editor. Look for "Engine Input".
    • If you cannot find it add one like this [Engine.Input] followed by F4=FOV ****.
    • Be sure to add the F4 command. The FOV you use will depend on your aspect ratio.
    • Default FOV = 75. 16:9 FOV = 91.3154482287. 15:9 FOV = 87.61661884. 16:10 FOV = 85.2812718522.
    • When you are in-game remember to press the F4 key to activate the correct FOV.
    • The FOV will reset so get into a habit of pressing F4 when you change levels and load a game.
