Hi guys.  

 

Played this game to death back on XB360, played the series again a few times on PC but never really touched the MP on PC.  Decided to pick it up again these last few days, but couldn't deal with the really restrictive FOV, it was making me so nauseated.  

 

So, I looked online and saw that you could edit a file to increase the FOV to whatever you like, and also on the tweak page there were a bunch of tweaks to improve the visuals, i.e shadow resolution.  

 

Now, I've been playing for 2 days, and only just thought about reading properly about making these changes.  I did find a post from Bioware stating that changes were fine in SP, but any changes made to give an unfair advantage in MP could result in a ban.  

 

So worryingly, I'm now trying to find out if the change to the FOV to stop me puking was an unfair advantage or not.  And also, the changes to the quality of the game.  

 

My INI file looks like this;

 

[GamerSettings]
Version=2
 
[AppCompat]
MeasuredCPUScore=-1.000000
CompatLevelComposite=3
CompatLevelCPU=6
CompatLevelGPU=3
GPUVendorID=4098

MPVoiceChatInputDevice=0
MPVoiceChatOutputDevice=0
MPVoiceChatVolume=100

MPVoiceContinueOnLostFocus=False
AlienFxConfiguration=2

bSmoothFrameRate=True
MinSmoothedFrameRate=60.000000
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=120.000000
MinShadowResolution=64
MaxShadowResolution=2048
ShadowFilterRadius=2
ShadowFilterQualityBias=2
 
[SaveGames]
Location=
 
And I've also edit the FOV to 100 by following a guide on how to do so.  
 
Could someone from Bioware, or someone in the know tell me if this is bad?  
 
thanks in advance

Bans don't happen anymore. So you're safe.

I don't see a VSync affecting my performance at all. I might just switch it back to on. There's a setting in the Config.ini where if you switch it to false or 0, you will not be able to interact with anything. Be careful of that.

Editing config files. What is this, the 20th century?????

Install Flawless Widescreen and use a hotkey to zoom.

Using third party software to enable widescreen...lol?

 

Either way, kind of says a lot about the developers main target audience though.

You need a third party program to modify coalesced.

You can do it in game, you just have to unlock it with the right command:

Mkay so here is an idea, how about not messing with the game files? Enough losers around here doing that already.

Really??? lol,  How is changing the FOV...you know something that every game these days has on PC, to increase your view angle so it doesn't feel so nauseating when moving.  And the other 2 changes are just to improve the visuals...it's hardly editing unlimited ammo, powers or game breaking cheats lol.   Chill.

I am, don't take things around here so serious, it's not like we are a group of highly mature individuals having intellectual debates here.
