Field of view (fisheye)

**edfardos** · 09-08-2010, 06:16 PM

Is there a way to modify the field-of-view in Amnesia? The default setting has too much fish-eye imho. For example, look up at a round chandelier, then look left and right and notice how it becomes an extreme oval when it's at the sides of your screen. The wide fov is a trippy effect, but gives me motion sickness.

just curious,

... but you can't change the "field of view" in the Advanced graphics options. It doesn't look like it's possible to change. But then most people like how HD TV's stretch out the sides of images too.

thanks,

if you feel like some mini-hacking:

config/game.cfg

search for FOV

Thomas, could you please elaborate on values for these settings? Should FOV be different on screens with different screen dimensions? And should I try to work with the ClipPlane settings?
These are the original settings I have in game.cfg:
FOV = "70"
FarClipPlane = "400"
NearClipPlane = "0.01"

It would be really helpful with some guide on this as I now can play the game for about an hour and after that I will feel nauseous for a few hours. It was the same problem with Penumbra but with other first person games like Oblivion and AvP2 I had no problems.
