Eyefinity *works*, and I have the FOV at a playable level, but the weapon you're holding takes up most of your view on the right screen. (ie, its freaking huge). Also, when the game blurs your vision, like in the opening beach scene, it REALLY blurs your vision, almost to the point of being completely unusable.

I'd stick to one monitor if I were you.

jsol1337: For everyone running Windows 7, I found the location of XIII.ini.

C:\Users\*user*\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\XIII\System

Now running at 1600x900. I'll try Eyefinity later this evening and let everyone know how it goes.

**edit**
This is the file location if you have XIII installed on a the same drive as the OS (Both Windows and XIII on C:). This includes the xiii.ini and your save profiles. When installed on another drive (Windows on C:, XIII on D:), the files stay in the game directory.

amok: The guide tells you to find a file called xiii.ini - and I where unable to find it. Has it been renamed into default.ini? Because those parameters are there and changing them seems to help.

jsol1337:
Marvellous! Thanks for your help.
Thanks for pointing this out

EDIT: I'm on Windows 7 x64 and my ini is in the game folder (...\system), so... anyone who can't find it in AppData, check there!

The location of the XIII.ini file seems to be very much an issue that is experienced regularly with Vista and Win7. If you install into the Program Files folder (either of them if you have a 64 bit Windows) then UAC and DEP will protect that folder meaning that saves games and settings files are then commonly moved into the Users folder where it is then being put into a subfolder of AppData.

I strongly recommend not installing games into Program Files with Vista and Win7 as older games can have issues with the files not being saved in the game's own folder. For me, my games go into C:\Games\ which is therefore an unprotected folder and it can put it's saves and settings files inside it's own folders.

So, this would explain why some find it in AppData and some find it in the game folder. It all depends on which OS you are using, how you've got your OS set up, and where you've installed the game to.
Ahh, I see. Well, UAC is turned off here so maybe that's it.
Ah excellent, enjoying my native resolution :D

Thank you.
Help! I can,t find ''DesiredFOV'' in the .ini file, and also it says ''Change them to set your FOV. I recommend 95 for 16:10 displays and 100 for 16:9 displays.'', i got a 16:10 screen, so i need to set 85.000000 to 95.000000? I dont understand it... or do i need to set it exactly 95?

Thanx Again!

Already tried out notepad's search abilities?

It doesn't matter, if it's 95 or 95 with following zeros after dot. Unreal Engine 2 doesn't do there an exception.

Open your DefUser.ini and insert this block of settings with your DesiredFOV:

[Engine.PlayerController]
bLookUpStairs=False
bSnapToLevel=False
bAlwaysMouseLook=True
bKeyboardLook=True
bNeverSwitchOnPickup=False
bAlwaysLevel=False
DesiredFOV=85.000000
DefaultFOV=85.000000
AnnouncerVolume=4
MaxTimeMargin=1.000000
ngWorldSecret=
ngSecretSet=False
Bob=0.016000
EnemyTurnSpeed=45000
PanCoeff=0.600000
SaturationDistance=400.000000
StabilisationDistance=1400.000000
StabilisationVolume=-100.000000
bAutoPickup=True
ConfigType=CT_StrafeLookNotSameAxis
iAutoAimMode=0
bInverseLook=False
bWalkCenterView=False

If there's already a [Engine.PlayerController] section, remove it before.

Does it make sense where i paste it in DefUser.ini ?

Negative. It locates it via the section name ([Engine.PlayerController]). Just ensure, it doesn't exist twice, as by default this section is there already with a DefaultFOV key inside.

Quick question when selecting the resolution in the ini. file, the resolution in the options menu in the game doesn't show it. (i choose 1920x1080) So i assume this is automatically done? The resolution is set but it just wont show up in the options menu?

That's correct.

Set your preferred resolution in the .ini file and never alter it again from the game menu.
