Overview
Play in 21:9 with the correct aspect ratio and FOV.
Editing two config files
Go to the game installation path and find the config files in:
…SteamAppscommonDreamUDKGameConfig
The two files we have to edit are:
– UDKSystemSettings.ini
– UDKInput.ini
Open the first file with notepad or similar, search (ctrl+t or ctrl+f) for the lines:
ResX=
ResY=
Specify your desired resolution. In my case, it is:
ResX=2560
ResY=1080
Save and close.
Open the second file, find the line:
[Engine.Console]
ConsoleKey=
After “ConsoleKey=” type a key that you will use to bring up console. In my case it’s the “F1” key, so it will be:
[Engine.Console]
ConsoleKey=F1
This way, everytime I hit the key ‘F1’ on the keyboard, it will bring up the console. Start the game. You will see that it is fullscreen. But the ratio is cropped (the game is vert-), that means you don’t see enough on top and bottom, compared to a 16:9 ratio. To correct that, we can edit the FOV on the fly. Hit the key you chose for the console (in my case, key F1). The console comes up. Write in the console:
FOV 116
And hit enter. 116 is the value of the FOV. 116 is in my opinion the best value for 21:9 gaming (in this game). You can choose any value. You can change any time by bringing up the console and typing the same command with a different value.
You will need to type the command now and then (every time the game boots and sometimes after the game loads new levels).
