I need QUICK help! (Fisheye optic?!)


(FoxEdge) #1

Hello guys! I’m really frustrated. I played Brink all the time, and without any reason I’ve got some fisheye optic. You know what I mean? The effect you have if you look trough the little spion at your door. something in front of you looks rly big and something which is far away looks more far away than it is in real. The things which are far away are slim, small and look more far away than they should. However, I dont know why this happened. I checked out the graphic options and so on, but I didn’t found anything. I tried to use other resolutions, restarted brink, restarted computer and my last try was to reinstall brink. Everything unsuccessfully, unfortunately.

Can u help me? It’s playable with this optic but… it is not really fun. I upload screenshots for you.

I play in 1680x1050 resolution. And please dont give me the advice to load a new graphic card driver, I already have the newest version and it worked all the time before anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

Things that are strange too, maybe some hints:

The Weapon is blurred in the nearest point to us. Usually the weapon is clearly visible.
2nd thing is, the picture where I am planting the bomb: Usually I didnt get so much sight. Usually I could only see my body and an arm-breadth to the right and left from my character. (yeah with the upgrade which gives sight) So the crazy thing now is, that - as I told before - the camera is showing everything different than before. The rooms look much bigger with more space and at the same time they look more slim.

I really hope you can help me because it’s … very frustrating for me. I can’t play with this.
Maybe it’s just a graphic option which I activated accidentally, that would be great :'D ! But as I told you, I didn’t find one.

Thanks for your help :slight_smile:

Lol its not that big of a problem.

Once ingame(the main menu is fine) hit ctrl+alt+~

then type this ui_fov 75

You can pick any number you like, I prefer 80 myself.

huh lookin kidna like border lands now, I know this happens when you get shot back, but never seen it look like that when you’re just paying, when you un-installed, did you be sure to do a search on windows for anything related to brink and remove it before re-installing?

Greeeeeeeeeat it worked thanks! I Love you :'D
But it wasnt ctrk+alt+~, I had to push ctrl+alt+^ to open. The game says 70 would be default, but maybe 75-80 isnt that bad.

However, youre my hero :'D thanks a lot!
