What I love about the WS fix is that it gives the small 'zoom in' effect when sighting in with ironsights.

Makes the game feel more realistic(because you focus your eye on target when you use ironsights).

Yes this is correct.

But before anyone jumps on the bandwagon and says "omg zoom is cheating". Let me say that it only zooms to the default FOV that is was before applying the fix. So its not zooming more than anyone else who does not use the fix or anything.

Works for me.

AhAAAaaaa... THAT is exactly what I wanted to know... UP and DOWN it cuts off, NOT the more important "sides" of your screen. THEN it is all right, if EVERYBODY, WITH or WITHOUT WS-fix has the same view to the sides!

THIS sort of TEXT it sort OF anNoyINg to READ. ::: DDXCDSF: :;( :-:ASD)

Cool that the sides are somehow more important than seeing what is above, you know with buildings and shit flying. PR isn't fast paced game so sides are not even marginally as important than seeing above areas. It also removes the zoom effect widescreen users have.

And "fairness" in regard of this sort of thing is ridiculous, maybe we should disallow using joystick for flying, its not fair for those who don't have it. Force lock settings to certain levels, because its not fair for somebody to have different settings.

"Fair"

Yeah, "Fair"... ;(

sweet, always wanted to change it

I'm using the widescreenfixer, no problems. No kicks, much better and natural field of view on my 16:9 monitor.

tried this tool real quick and it seems to do what it does

Comparison shots (first without, second with fix applied):









slightly zoomed out, from a quick look it felt more natural...

BUT I am getting an error everytime I load a map. It says sth. about a "windows form error" or similar. Acutally it is a long error message. It can't be "ignored" or "nexted". When you press "cancel" the app closes. If you don't press anything it works fine even with the error window there.

I am running it as admin, comp mode xp on Win7 64 with all the shortcut stuff added.

Anyone else getting this or having a solution?

I'm pretty sure this error-message was mentioned earlier in this thread and just needs to be ignored, leave it open while playing.

Not without making it look ridiculous. The FOV on BF2 is very good and I don't see why anyone should change it. It will cause fish eye effect which makes the little extra you see useless. Animations in PR also require default FOV, otherwise the camera glitches.

Widescreen fixer can still be used to do changes to the FOV and should be safe to use.
