This game is not on GOG but I am looking for a fix for FOV in 16:9 because it is vert-.
There is an one solution on the wsgf but it only for 21:9 resolution.
It seams there is not availbe any other hack or mod which will restore the correct FOV in 16:9.

I own a physical copy and I do believe I might have that file that fixes it to I think 90 or above. Give me a few to check for it but in the mean time keep looking online. I'm very surprised that there is none to find..

UPDATE - it seems I don't have a file like that, I got it mixed up with a patch file and a resolution fix for 4k monitor. sorry man. I did some fast searching and it seems that this game was not cared for on the pc at the time. so one of those gems that did not get attention. Maybe one day if it does come to GOG and gets more notice we might have someone make a fix for FOV in standard widescreen ratio.

Hey at least you can enjoy the game as it does work on modern systems pretty well! :)

Take care.

Do you have a screenshot showing the thing you are mentioning at hand?

Damn it. I thought it was available here on GoG.

There is a report on the wsgf website. Unfortunately, the game is vert- in 16:9, but someone found a solution to correctly display the game with a 21:9 resolution.


Ultra/Super-Wide (21:9/32:9) Specific Solution & Issues

The Game is VERT- and Stretched out of the BOX for 21:9 resolutions - use following Steps to get it to HOR+, right Aspect ratio and a Hugh FOV boost.

1.Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\kaneandlynch\main.ini
2.Add following Lines in the main.ini and make it write protect:

PixelAspect 1
Aspect 21:9
Resolution 2560x768
Window 1

3.Start the Game - it should be windowed and run in 2560x768.
4.Alt Tab and make it via Borderless Gaming Fullscreen
5.Now it will render it in 3440 x 1440 or 2560 x 1080, correct Aspect ratio a perfect HUD and a high FOV.

I tried to edit the ini file but instead of 21:9 resolution I wanted to add 16: 9 but it doesn't seem to work.

Hey at least you can enjoy the game as it does work on modern systems pretty well! :)


I still have Windows 7 64 and the game works fine even in 4K but the standard low FOV at 16:9 gives me a slight headache so I have to switch to 4:3 resolution.
There are so many FOV hacks for the old less known games and it is hard to believe the first part of Kane & Lynch doesn't have any :(

Wait this works? I tried to mess with the .ini and got all random code language. Does this mean we can set a 4k resolution.
