Surround and Resolutions

Brady · Post by **Brady** » Thu Jan 19, 2012 5:26 pm

Hi all.

Just started playing this game and I'm having some problems with resolutions.
I use 3x 1080p monitors running a Bezel corrected resolution of 5940 x 1080.

I understand if I leave the game on optimized then it will use my desktop resolution......

The problem is the cockpit control boxes are appearing right behind teh damn bezel's. Not sure if this is a resolution issue or a screen ratio one.

Any of you kind people know the answer to this one?

I've also been unable to find a config file holding all this info (Win7 steam install, only a C:).

All help appreciated.

You may be able to get the scene positioning you want by adjusting the field of view. Here is the information on adjusting the field of view setting, which will let you manually dial in the FOV to different levels. When you make a change, you'll want to exit the game and relaunch it to test.

Open the sw.cfg file in notepad, edit line 17 (sixth from the bottom) to a value between 0.1 and 5.0. Restart the game to test the change. This method may produce unexpected results (such as clipping or stretching), but is an available option if you're having trouble getting the display field looking the way you prefer.

Where is sw.cfg

I can't find it and windows search is about as useful as an icecube to an eskimo.

It should be in the installation folder sw3dg\\EvochronMercenary....

It'll be in the default save data folder, usually c:\\sw3dg\\EvochronMercenary

doh. Ta for the help.

Setting 4.0 was the ticket. Though anything above 3.5 seems to do the trick.

I've got the Steam version also and I've run the windows 7 search on my whole drive and I can't find the sw.cfg file.

Any hints? It just isn't there...
