The game does not put your native resolution available? It has 4K resolutions, but no 21:9 2K resolutions? It is just as in many other UE3 games. You may have edited the config file with ResX=2560 ResY=1080, you did right, but it still looks wrong? I will tell you how to fix it and this is basically how it works with all other UE3 games. I own a 2560x1080 21:9 screen. These settings are relative to my likings (and screen), obviously if you know something about games, you will adjust the settings to your needs/likings.

Config files are located in: SteamSteamApps\common\Old City\UDKGame\Config

First change the resolution in the file UDKSystemSettings.ini. Find ResX and change both lines like this (input your resolution if it is higher):

ResX=2560
ResY=1080

Open UDKEngine.ini and edit the lines like this:

FOVAngle=65.000000 (this value is low because of the maintain YFOV, a higher FOV will distort a lot)

[Engine.LocalPlayer]
AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV Y instead of X


Why YFOV? Because if it stays XFOV, you would get a cropped view. That is why you thought the 'fov was weird'. Here a comparison (without even editing the FOVAngle....in both screens it's 90.00000)


YFOV:











XFOV:













That is why now a 90 FOV is too high.

In addition, adjust the FOV to your liking. On my keyboard layout console is brought up with 'ò' (next to enter, italian layout). So you don't have to restart the game everytime. Once you found your favourite FOV, use that value in FOVAngle in the ini file.

In addition, I changed from the UDKSettings.ini file:


[oldcitygame.OldCityMenu]
Resolution=2560x1080

I didn't check the difference, but I guess it just renders the game menu properly in 21:9 without having black bars on the side....
