Yep ... that's right ... the FOV is the same width whatever your screen ... so widescreen users are missing the top and bottom of the view (the red bit).

Question to the team ...
Are you going fix this ?

Seriously guys this is weak. Developers should know better these days. When you have widescreen resolutions you need to increase the FOV to go with it. Fix this ASAP and in the meantime tell us how to adjust the FOV and what the default is (so we can calculate the correct on based on our display aspect).

what is your native resolution? if your resolution is not set up right then it just maybe the reason why your having problems.

Very disappointing. Looks like i'll be getting my pre-order deposit back tomorrow.

No widescreen = no buy.

I find this very surprising, after reading and hearing the devs talk about it haveing properly implemented widesceen resolution and scaling support.

Clearly these folks need to look at http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/ and it's awesome community which will quite liekly some up with a fix. Though I'm sure this woudl be easier for the developers to implement.

Maybe they all play EA games, which is where they got their idea of "widescreen" from.

I'm not having a problem ... I know what I am doing ... the FOV is cut down for widescreen users.

The picture above shows the widescreen image scaled down and overlaid onto the 4:3 image to show what is missing.

so how did you get the 2 images? off the same monitor?? or did you switch between monitors, for both screen shots?
did you uses a CRT? and a Widescreen monitor or something?

I have three computers and 7 different monitors.

[Paddywak]

Oh ... and you can run a 4:3 res on most widescreens.
