| Summary | 0002189: It is possible to set field of view value to zero with the custom command line, resulting in OpenGL errors and crashes. | ||||
| Description | If user sets "-fov 0." without values after the period, the game accepts this normally and doesn't inform user of an error nor revert to default field of view. And apparently the rendering engine goes berzerk when it tries to use zero field of view - unsurprisingly. Of course this is in its core an user error, but bad values should still be filtered out from this kind of inputs, right? | ||||
| Additional Information | I encountered this problem all of a sudden while testing BP:WiH missions. The opening cutscene - when it set its own field of view - initially worked, but when the field of view tried to use the value given in the erroneous command line input, the screen went black (most likely triggering similar render-cut off as the recently discovered match speed with sabotaged engines issue), showing only comm messages and HUD information in other missions. In a regular mission, target model was rendered in the upper left corner. I initially thought I had some sort of GPU driver corruption or even graphics card failure at my hands, until I noticed the missing part of the -fov command line entry resulting from distraction while changing it. | ||||

I didn't exactly know whether to put this on launcher issues or some other place... |
