So this game is fantastic, no doubt about it but after all these years it would be nice to have it in widescreen.

Any solutions?

Just to let you know the cg_fov command doesn't work, sorry about that!

The game doesn't seem to keep custom commands when done through the debug menu, so you may want to make an autoexec.cfg file.

If I find out more I will let you know!

All these years of playing this game and i never knew this haha

Edit: It works nicely, thank you very much.

When you need this type of info you can research it here:

just type in the name of the game in the search box


I copied a relevant part of the MoH AA page:
Whenever you load a level, you must bring down the console ("~" key), and type "fov 90." You can go higher, but the default is 80, and upping it to 90 seems to preserve the vertical coverage the most. This must be done every time you enter a new level, and it doesn't work in multiplayer. Advanced users may consider binding an out-of-the-way key to "fov 90".

I attempted this for Win 7 64. The config file was located in AppData. The custom changes I made never took.

I have W7/64 and it worked just fine for me, but I appended the commands to the unnamedsoldier.cfg file, which can be found in the [your mohaa installation folder\]main\configs folder (mainta\configs and maintt\configs for Spearhead and Breakthrough respectively).

I did just use:

r_customwidth "1600"
r_customheight "1200"
r_mode "-1"

Not sure about the FOV setting, as I did not change it, but I assume it works the same way.

vid_restart wouldn't be necessary as this is executed on launch and not during runtime.

Make sure you do not change options in-game after doing this (set everything as desired beforehand), as that overwrites these files. You could make them read-only if you want.

I initially removed it from the main dir and it didn't regenerate after restarting the game but I found it in the AppData. Maybe I should just reinstall?

Did you do it in game? Worked like a charm for me.

Yeah I tried it in-game and it worked. Not sure why it didn't work when editing the config file.

considering how useful this is this should probably get Sticky.

To make the settings work in the .cfg file add seta at the start, and put it under // Cvars.

For example:
//
// Cvars
//
seta r_customwidth "1920"
seta r_customheight "1080"
seta r_mode "-1"

Set field of view
find the seta variables and you can add 'seta cg_fov and the degree of your choice ie 115
with quotes

Awesome, thanks for the fix! I tried editing the user based config files then making it read-only but no luck. Fortunately, this worked great. Playing in yr native resolution is essential for revisiting old games.
