    21:9 fov slider gone... Just... can'y believe it.

    Game seems fixed, Sli Stutter fixed, black shadow fixed. 21:9 monitor support added...
    I just wanted to play the game and what? FOV slider disabled for 21:9 monitors and I feel like playing with magnifying glasses.
    Developers - what are you doing? WHY for the love of God you make the game WORSE for us to experience.
    Why can't I decide for myself which fov I prefer? Why is it forced down the throat.
    I waited for a few weeks until I could play the damn game... 1.5 patch - boom.. playable! But what is this? FOV IS TOTALLY CRAP !

    Is there any workaround for 21:9 fov ? Changing values in xml does nothing.
    Anyone?

    PC players! If you're online complaining about the lack of FOV control ... You PATCHED the game.

    Nope, store bought Kyrat edition here and the option is gone in 21:9 resolution. The option is available in 1920x1080 mode. It's just a cheap 21:9 hack they made. Not even the menu's are full screen. Kinda lame tbh for a premium title.

    I was referring to a post from Ubisoft when the game launched.

    PC players! If you're online complaining about the lack of FOV control ... You pirated the game.
    Now if you bought the game and patched it you have no FOV control.

    I am playing the game at the moment on 21:9. I already waited 2 weeks to play it because there was no 21:9 support. Sucks to play it with this low FOV but i can atleast play the game now. A fix would be nice though. Low FOV on a 3440x1440 screen sucks.

    When you are outside in the game it's playable. When you get inside the FOV is way to low to play. Atleast it's possible for 21:9 users to play the game but a fix would be great.

    I have a 21x9 screen and the hard set field of view is so tight, within minutes of playing I start feeling dizzy and can no longer play, if I do carry-on I risk vomiting over my keyboard.
    I am having to play at 16x9 so I can adjust the FOV with the slider. Only now I have to put up with the narrow screen with black bars either size...

    Shame as the game did look pretty good before the last patch, although I had to play in a window to get the correct aspect ratio.

    Anyone know of any FOV hacks out there for 21x9?

    I just found this thread through Google and wow, yeah, I couldn't believe it either. I was SO looking forward to checking out Far Cry 4 on my new 21:9 monitor, at 3440 x 1440. Then surprise, surprise, Ubisoft decided to ruin the experience completely. It's amazing! I sent an e-mail of complaint to them, for whatever good that does. I hope they put the slider back in place, or not bypass the FOV command in the GamerProfile.XML file. I just cannot play it - it's literally sickening to look at.

    Just updated to 1.6, no fix, still no FOV Slide. I have the same LG Monitor, very hard to play with such a small FOV. The XLM file modification will only works for pirated version, what a joke!http://static5.cdn.ubi.com/u/ubiforu...milies/mad.png

    It is unbelievable that playing at 16x9 you can get a wider FOV than at 21x9. So much for Ubisofts "Added 21:9 aspect ratio support" what planet they on.

    Although I have purchased the game I think I will download a pirated copy to see if I can play with a playable FOV setting at my native 21x9 aspect ratio because at the moment it is unplayable due to the sickness it induces.
