Kitty Justice Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Hello! I'm actually entirely new to CoH and I'm loving it so far, but I do have one minor nagging issue. I have an ultrawide monitor and in order to play the game at a 2560x1080 resolution I have to play it in windowed mode - which is mostly full screen except the window bar thing is visible at the top and the start menu is visible at the bottom. This hasn't been too much of a problem for me until I started playing with base building, and now as I try to move objects around I frequently accidently drag my mouse outside the playable game area and that causes all kinds of goofiness. Any time I go into full screen mode the game seems to switch to 1920x1080 and stretches to the full size of my monitor. I try switching to 2560x1080 (desktop) in the graphics menu but it just switches right back to 1920x1080. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to either get the game working in full screen mode on an ultrawide without it stretching or if there was a full screen windowed mode that I haven't seen in the options anywhere yet. And maybe also adjust the FOV. Maybe there's a configuration file I can edit or something? It's nothing major or gamebreaking, but any help would be appreciated!

Captain Fabulous Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Graphics options are stored in the registry, under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cryptic\CoH The two keys are screenx and screeny respectively. You can try changing them there, see if it sticks. There is an FOV option in-game, but you'll also find settings for it in the registry as well. Set autoFOV to 0 and fieldOfView to whatever number you like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Justice Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Thanks! I gave this a try and with a little fidgeting I managed to get full screen at 2560x1080 but it broke most of the textures and the game (and prompted a warning from the game that 2560x1080 is not supported). Now the problem I'm having seems to be that I can't undo it O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fabulous Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 ALT+Enter will put you back into windowed mode. Alternatively go back into the registry and set the resolution to 1920x1080. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Justice Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Yeah, the textures are all broken even after switching back to windowed mode. I'm not sure what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Justice Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Apologies! I figured out my foolishness. It wasn't the resolution that messed it up, it was the field of view. I set it back to auto and all my textures are back and I'm full screen with ultrawide settings! I guess I won't play with the FOV, thank you for your help!

Captain Fabulous Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 What did you set FOV to? Maybe try a smaller # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Justice Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 I went to 85, just tried again with 70 though and that seems to be working. It's certainly better than the default 55! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Justice Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Actually I just noticed that by disabling autofov it made a FOV slider appear in the graphics settings in game so I was able to get it up as high as 75 before the textures went wonky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
