About the FOV values

Hi everyone!

After several tests on the new client (graphics engine) we concluded that we could perform a slight adjustment to the FOV value (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_o...in_video_games) that Regnum Online uses. This value, due to astethics, performance and gameplay reasons, has been configured on 45 since the very beginning of Regnum.

We know that some players manually altered this value in the configuration file, obtaining a notorious advantage in combat situations and generating a great number of false reports related to bad performance (low FPS rate), by using illogical FOV values.

Due to this, we will perform the following adjustments:

-For Widescreen Resolutions (16:9 for example), FOV value will be set on 55.
-For Standard Resolutions (4:3 for example), FOV value will be set on 60.

With these adjustements the general performance is affected on a 5% percent, because the ammount of objects being draw on screen is bigger. However, we preferred to adopt the feeling of improved dinamism that this change causes.

Regards!

PS: This changes made be applied on next week.
