Super/Ultra-Ultra wide resolution support

Good morning,

I play games on a 7680x1440 ultra-ultra wide resolution. I would love to relive the nostalgia of this game, but the game locks my vertical FoV so that the camera is zoomed in way to far to my character to be playable.

I read a post from the official devs related to this issue where they have refused to allow support for this resolution due to balancing issues. But does it really give that much of an advantage? I just want to play across three gaming monitors simultaneously.

Since this is a private server, are you able to allow support for this resolution without FoV restrictions so I, and others, can enjoy this game in greater immersion?

Here is a link to a grab bag post from the live team on 8/2/19. It’s the 3rd or 4th question down. -> https://darkageofcamelot.com/article/friday-grab-bag-08022019

I’ve seen quite a few other posts online that make me think many others would love to have this feature added. Is it even possible with the older engine used by DAoC? Thanks for your consideration.

The obvious advantage being that you would have a much wider field of view and much better visibility for inc etc. So no, I doubt it would be implemented, even if it was possible.

You don't see the advantage to have a FOV of 90 vs 130/140?
It's an old game and they would need to modify the client to allow this. They change only things on the server side.

What I’m saying is that it’s not “hacker” level of an advantage. Most new games allow it and people aren’t complaining.

I doubt you see everyone playing this game in a 4:3 aspect ratio just for an FoV advantage instead of 1080p.

It’s just a simple QoL request.

Yeah and they can't because it's client side not server side.
They don't touch the client, it's downloaded on the official server.
