📺 Widescreen FOV & HUD (2020 Update) 📺

Overview

Fix for hor+ FOV, unstretched HUD and weapon position, updated for 2020.

About

Revised for 2020, this fix implements the following widescreen corrections:

• Hor+ FOV ⇤ 👀 ⇥ Correctly extends your left and right view instead of losing top and bottom
• Unstretched HUD 🏥 💢 💊 Crosshair and other ingame UI don’t look squished or oval
• Weapon position 🔫 Held weapons don’t sit below the screen at wider resolutions

Now all done client-side without using a mutator to work in all modes:

• Singleplayer ✔
• Multiplayer ✔ except servers running mutators forcing their own custom HUD
• Instant Action ✔
