FOV value keeps defaulting back.

Dec 08, 2003 Arolte link
Who logs out with their zoom key depressed though? Hehe, I mean that's just stupid. Still, I don't see how there can't be a workaround to sort of check for that before logging off. But if it's a huge hassle right now I'd say forget it. I'm not gonna make a huge fuss over FOV settings not sticking. Just a FYI.

no, you misunderstand.
If you were to zoom in with the i key and then log out, the fov is saved to the cfg file as 15.

All you have to do is make an alias that sets your fov to 90 and then bind it to something and press it when you enter the game.

When I change my fov value in wgaf.ini, it keeps resetting itself back to 75. I want it to be 90. Grrrr!

Wouldn't 90 degrees be zoomed out? I'm just used to playing most games with 90 degrees FOV. That's why I want mine to stick to 90 for Vendetta. Maybe if it were provided as an advanced "Graphics" menu option it would help reduce confusion. Anyway, people who don't know what they're doing shouldn't be rummaging around in the ini files. Shame on them!

Who said anything about zooming in?


/set fov 180

Heh, yes. We reset the FOV back to 75 when you run Vendetta.
Mainly because if you exit Vendetta while zoomed in, it would start zoomed in and that's worse for people who don't know what's going on than it is for it to be set back to 75.

i think 75 is fair, but i do play on 120 a lot (totaly sweet)
