FOV for 1080p

What should I set my FOV to for 1920x1080?

BTW this game rocks.

I know I heard about a formula that let’s you calculate the FOV for a certain aspect ratio. Think for 16:9 it was somewhere between 105 and 107, though I’m not quite sure.

What the hell are you talking about. You set fov to whatever value you feel it’s comfortable to play at.

Computing fov based on resolution is only useful if you care how exaggerated or compressed the 3D models are on screen.

There’s no right value for 1080p, I played with 110, 120 back when there were no wide screens.

Horizontal FOV needs to be converted for widescreen, I guess this is what is being asked

Afaik not in modern games with native widescreen support. Allthough the FOV in your config doesn’t change you get a higher (“real”) FOV when you change the resolution from 800600 to 16801050 for example, it gets automatically scaled (you see more).
