Game Information

By: DreamCatcher Interactive / JoWooD Productions, Mindware Studios
Genre: Fantasy, First-Person Shooter
Release Date: October 23, 2007
Players: 1-16
Version: Retail box version 1.0.

layers take on the role of Belial, who was recently freed by the defeat of Lucifier in the previous Painkiller games. Belial is out for revenge on those who imprisoned him due to his unique lineage of having a demon mommy and an angel daddy. Bad divine and demonic creatures! No! Don't touch!

The gameplay is essentially the same as the previous Painkiller games. So if it moves, kill it. There are new weapons in the game along with the old classics which have been given a demonic makeover. You are an outcast with no people to call your own. What better way to feel better about yourself than by killing something that deserves killing?

Widescreen Support

Method

Native support for widescreen resolutions. To get Hor + navigate to the "Overdose.ini" file located in the "Documents and Settings\*Your User Name*\Local Settings\Application Data\Painkiller Overdose" directory. Open the file and search for "Cfg.FOV". Change the listed FOV value and save.

These are the common values for the FOV...

Default - 95
16:9 - 111.013676485
16:10 - 105.275347504

The FOV change is global so you only need to change it once.

The folders that contain the ini file may be hidden. You can make hidden files and folders visible by selecting "Folder Options" from the "Tools" menu. Then click on the "View" tab and select the radio button that sets hidden files and folders to visible.

Screen change

This game is Hor+, dependant on your FOV setting.

1600x1200, Cfg.FOV = 95

1920x1200, Cfg.FOV = 105
