Multi-monitor

An example of the UI rendering issues caused by a higher-than-normal FOV in-game.
An example of the UI rendering issues caused by a higher-than-normal FOV in-game.
The default Vert- scaling used in Nightmare Reaper causes an extremely narrow field of view on setups with wider aspect ratios.
Attempting to force Hor+ scaling breaks the UI system, causing first person weapon sprites to float above the edge of the screen.
Change FOV scaling to Hor+ (Note: minor graphical glitches)[5]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open Engine.ini.
  3. Add the following lines to the end of the file:
[/Script/Engine.LocalPlayer]
AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV

Notes

UI elements will float above the screen. See screenshot.

Notes

  1. Unreal Engine 4 engine build: 4.18.3.0[1]
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/1051690/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (1051690) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
  3. When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
