Game Information

By: Midway Games, Epic Games

Latest installment of the saga Unreal Tournament, probably the best fast-paced online shooter around.

Widescreen Support

Method

FOV is set to 90 by default (good for 4:3) and should be manually set to 100.4 for 16:10 and about 106.3 for 16:9. With patch v1.1 FOV can be changed with a slider in the Video/Advanced menu.

However, FOV in this game seems to be capped intentionally to 100. The only solution i have found to bypass this limit is a mutator called "FreeFov", which allows field of view adjustments of 70-130º which is more than enough for 16:9. FreeFov can be found at http://mrevil.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/unreal/ut3/fov/

To get the correct FOV with decimals the file has to be edited, the console command won't recognize decimals. Once FreeFov is installed, you have to edit the file UTMutator_FreeFOV.ini in C:\Users\(yourusername)\Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config\

For 19:9 last line should be edited to:

DefaultFOV=106.270273 (for 16:9)
DefaultFOV=100.394872 (for 16:10)

Screen change

Hor +

4:3 1024x768, FOV 90

16:10 1440x900, FOV 100

Surround Gaming support

Method

The WS hack works for Surround, but can only take the FOV to 130 degrees (rather than the full 140-143 needed).
