This is not minor issue, im struggling with this for 2 days now.
There was option before 1920*1080 16:9 WIDE, but WIDE not anymore.
So my FOV value changes, it should be fovLeft=1.3333334 but is always returning to default
fovLeft=1.

My screen looks stretched and cant play anymore.
Cant LOCK FOV value

Same here like MarkoCro wrote

The same issue occurs in my game.

I play at 16:10 1920x1200 and use a FOV of 85 and this now prevents me from being able to play in anything other that 75 if I use the options menu, please reinstate the aspect ratio.

Updated some info since something so basic wasn't addressed in the most recent hotfix.

Yeah now we wait for next patch until DEVs get back from holidays :(

same.. i lost FPSs with this.. and Visibility.

any news on the resolve of the this issue?

This also makes the normal compass impossible to read the bearing numbers on 2560x1440 resolution. It's like I have 6 inches of black space on either side. Can't change in Layout section even.

Geez, you guys at Bohemia really have a passion for creating issues out of thin air.

If you want to remove the Aspect Ratio option, fine, but give us a proper damn FoV option already, or at least don't reset the values. The Arma3Profile values tied to Aspect Ratio are most commonly used to adjust the FoV; nobody cares about the actual "aspect ratio" thing. We just want a custom FoV that is worthy of the PC Master Race, not your dirty peasant default FoV of 70.

Just look at the stupid shit that people had to come up with: http://hia3.com/tools/ArmA_3_wide-angle_FOV_calculator_online_by_Hi,A3.htm

Under investigating.

Is there any update on this, I can't play Arma on my system. Thank you.

Any status on this? @Alwin

Comon guys, its been 4 months and nothing has happened........

Still not fixed after today's update.. this was reported 4 months ago, and all you have to do to reproduce this bug is hit ESC in your settings screen.

Agreed with what's already been said. At the very least remove the automatic change and reimplement the old aspect ratio settings, though I'd love to have an actual FoV slider in-game.

Any progress @Alwin?

I'm hoping this will be fixed in the next hotfix for 1.70..

Aspect ratio is back in v1.70, FoV is no longer reset when opening video options.

Just tested, seems to be fixed now, thanks guys.

its fixed, thanks BIS <3
