Field of view (FOV)

Vertical and horizontal FOV values can be changed individually. Increasing the horizontal value fixes screen stretching on widescreen resolutions, but the HUD and menus remain stretched.
This method doesn't work with the WSGF modified executable, use the WSGF Cheat Engine table which is limited to changing only the horizontal FOV.
