- Now, type in:
r_customheight Y, where Y is height of your desired resolution (for example, for 1680x1050 resolution, replace Y with 1050).
- Type in:
r_mode -1 to make the game use custom resolutions.

Changing FOV using hex editor[1]
|
- Go to the installation folder.
- Open
cgamex86.dll with a hex editor such as HxD.
- Go to the address AEB00 (game ver. 1.00) or AEA54 (game ver. 1.3 / Gold Update).
- You'll see that it is set to
38 30, which is 80. Change it according to your preference (recommended 39 30 (90) for 16:10 monitors and 39 35 (95) for 16:9).
- Save the file and run the game.
- To check FOV while in game, type in
cg_fov (without the attribute behind it).
Notes
- Be sure to backup
cgamex86.dll before editing.

Changing FOV using console in singleplayer[citation needed]
|
- Start the game.
- Load a saved game or start a new game.
- Open the console (⇧ Shift+~).
- Type in:
setrandom sv_cheats 1 to enable cheats.
- Now type in:
cg_fov X where X is a value of horizontal FOV between (default is 80, maximum is 160).
Notes
- Every time a cutscene is being played, your FOV is going to switch back to 80. See the above hex edit for a permanent solution.

Changing FOV using console in Multiplayer[citation needed]
|
|
Changing FOV in multiplayer is easier, because command cg_fov X isn't cheat protected.
- Start SOF2 Multiplayer.
- Join a server (or host it)
- Open the console (⇧ Shift+~).
- Type in:
cg_fov X, where X is a value of horizontal FOV between 80 (min) and 100 (max).
