Upgrades EGO to get the most out of the engine. Better graphics better performance and more options
This set of mods pushes EGO as far as we can take it right now, giving better graphics, more stuff on-screen and all with better performance.
This is done by removing the (now outdated) performance matrix and re-organising the different engine systems across the available CPU threads on your machine (strangely not utilised in the original config)
Additional Aspect Ratio options have been added (these must be manually added to your config file, see the article about it) to help combat the terrible Field of View in the game
Available Aspect Ratios : 1.33333, 1.6666, 1.7777, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.35, 2.4 and 4.8 (triple screen)
At 1920x1080 the correct aspect ratio is 1.6666, however I have found 1.8 (the default included setup) or even 1.9 will give a good boost to your FOV without degrading the shape of objects too heavily.
Cinematic Mode simply puts the game into the same resolution and aspect ratio used by the cinema, which is 1920x817 at an aspect ratio of 2.35. This gives a solid aspect correct FOV of about 78 degrees. a file is included with this setup also
For those wondering, these mods are updated versions of those included in the initial IW2017 release. Feel free to copy these over the top of your current IW2017 installation to upgrade it!
Well increased aspect ratio for extreme resolutions (Im still stuck with 1024x768, but monster machines will like it), increased FOV.
Didnt understand when you wrote about the performance matrix james, could that possibly mean an increase of the number of entities and effects ingame? since the game would probably tell our computers to "take it all"(with some limits i belive)
sorry from the double post forgot to sign in.
I removed your double post. The EGO engine upgrade allows more Static Objects, more trees, more vehicles, more weapons, and more buildings to be displayed on screen at one time, but this is not the performance matrix.
The Performance Matrix is where the game decides your computer is only good enough to have say medium graphics options even though your computer is really powerful. The change just makes the Low/Medium/High graphics options always give the lowest or highest values the game can take, regardless of your computer
My aspect ratio always defaults to 5:3 and when I change it in-game the game crashes. Any ideas?
I'm running 2560x1440 natively.
Hi.
Did y ever figure this out?
Thanks.
Unfortunately no, I gave up on the game months ago.
Hey if you ever figure it out let me know will ya?
I would love to revisit it someday soon :)
Hi.I was actually able to fix it just now!
I deleted the whole game folder in steam/steamapps/common,and the whole documents/my games/OFDR folder.Its not enough to just uninstall the game.
Then i installed the game,downloaded the mods enabler,unzipped it and copied it to the game folder.
And then i downloaded IW2017 and just followed the readme file included.
If y need any links or have any other questions,let me know.Il do my best to help.Though im not a modder or pc guru!
The game ran nicely after fixing it but i didnt really like playing it for some reason...
Maybe il like the main campaign better,and get more into it that way.
Happy holidays.
jamesdickinson963 I found a bug, When I installed this (only this mod file) my controller's right stick wouldn't do the focus action and instead would go prone and if pressed again it would go on a weird camera mode
For those using controller, do not use this. The new config.dat file breaks the controller. When you press the right stick it doesn't focus anymore, it makes you go prone and if you click it again it breaks the game you can't move anymore with controller or mouse + keyboard.
If I try to change any of the graphics settings, the game crashes to desktop. Is this normal behavior?

It's now 2023 and no one has figured out how to run this piece of **** mod with this piece of **** game without crashing? Jesus ******* Christ, I really have a new-found appreciation for the dumpster fire that is modern gaming. At least you can work with those to SOME degree without some witchcraft from **** knows where inexplicably preventing things from working in a manner that would confuse Doctor ******* Strange
