You can try this yourself by walking around with the sniper rifle. Small FOV makes the game feel slow and large FOV makes it feel fast (your real speed is always the same). Note that a changed FOV also affects gameplay: The images below show how FOV settings affect the displayed image. Seems unfair to me, but this is what other games do Patched for widescreen, with SoF default vertical FOV Players on 4:3 displays may complain, because the left and right contain more information than top and bottom
Patched for widescreen, with FOV adjusted to show the same amount of display surface as the 4:3 case with FOV 95 Patched for widescreen, with SoF default horizontal FOVĪ little disadvantage, but the top and bottom don't contain much information The red box indicates what information is on the screen on a 4:3 display with FOV 95 (the current SoF default). The images below show how FOV affects the amount of information that's on the screen. Which means that the horizontal FOV changes with different aspect ratios.įor SoF this would mean that players on 8:5 displays would get a horizontal FOV of 105. Using a FOV of 100 for 8:5 displays results in the same amount of information on the screen as a FOV of 95 on a 4:3 display,īut it probably gives the players with the 8:5 display an advantage,īecause information on the left/right is more important than on the top/bottom.Īlmost every other game with widescreen support keeps the vertical FOV locked, It was not easy to come up with something that's fair for players with 4:3 and 8:5 displays. I've added a cvar (_sp_cl_vid_fov) for changing the FOV. _sp_cl_vid_mode_9) to the SoFplus client to let you set any resolution you want. The SoFplus client with resolution and FOV changes has been released.
Feel free to inform me about your opinion on the FOV subject. This will be in the next relase of SoFplus. Best PC/Steam-compatible games for a 100 console gamer ( Steam Deck) MarquisOndore: 6: 10/31 10:11AM: So do we know when we have to pay for the first steam decks: dioxxys: 9: 11/8 12:55PM: Can you copy a Steam game C Redfield: 3: 11/1 8:59AM: Steamworld Dig 2 free on Steam: KingGheedorah: 16: 11/11 6:25AM: Beholder free on Steam. The red box indicates what area would have been visible with an aspect ratio of 4:3. Since the missing information is at the top and the bottom, I don't consider this a big problem. Note that the horizontal FOV isn't changed, so you will actually see less instead of more. If you keep the original menus, the bottom part of the menus may not be visible.
You should also download these modified menus that will fit in the new screen aspect ratios. This will allow you to play SoF in fullscreen mode on widesceen displays without getting image distortion.
All anti-cheat software for SoF (Haxorcist, WaX, UAC3) is currently obsolete / unmaintained and it's unlikely that a new anti-cheat will ever be developed.ĭownload this patch to change the hardcoded resolutions of SoF.exe. Warning: If you modify your SoF.exe, anti-cheat software may complain about it. Unmodified SoF on 8:5 display (distorted)ĭo not use this patch or the modified menus. When they play SoF in fullscreen mode, the image is distorted (squeezed vertically/stretched horizontally),īut the amount of information that is displayed, is the same. Some players are using widescreen displays with other aspect ratios, like 8:5 (16:10) or 16:9. The table below shows the supported resolutions (you can list them in SoF with the 'vid_modes' command): _sp_cl_vid_mode_9 and _sp_cl_vid_fov cvars in-game, or edit those cvars in your user/config.cfg file.Īn unpatched SoF only supports a screen aspect ratio of 4:3. Delete the widescreen menus, because they will interfere with the improved version that's in SoFplus.Ĭhange the _sp_cl_vid_mode_0. The patch and widescreen menus below are not needed anymore. We only support Linux servers and do not support Wine.Note: SoFplus client can now be used to change your resolution and FOV. The game is not on Steam by on GOG.com Is the server supported on Linux? Does LGSM handle privilege escalation for a sym link or copying of the libcxa.so.1 library? How should I handle this potentially?Īlso, please feel free to assign me this Server Request/Issue. There is a particular item I may need help addressing, it appears that sof2ded the binary for the dedicated server looks for a file explicitly in /usr/lib. There is no modifications for the client.
Mod ( ) which bring modern features/customizations which you would expect out of typical Quake 3 style dedicated server. Since then there has been a server side (only) modification called 1fx. The game is based upon the Quake 3 engine as it was licensed from id Software to Raven Software during 2002. Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix (Gold Edition) Can you link to any tutorials or guides?
