The point is that this trick is aspect ratio-independent, and gives you a fov_desired of 120, which means at 1920x830 you'd have an even higher fov than 120.

Anything that pops the camera out from your viewmodel or alters your FOV in any way - going into third person, spectating someone, taunting, using a teleporter, scoping in, probably altering your field of view normally.

I don't think so. Remember, it happened to me while simply congaing, not using a tele. I think it's very situational and was probably exacerbated by a recent patch. I've played TF2 for years and I've never seen this happen before.

For the record though, Burning, I was able to reproduce it the way you said.

It's not alt tabbing, though that could have caused it too if someone used fullscreen. I run in borderless windowed. It was probably the taunting that messed it up.

I know this is going to be patched within a few days now that we've narrowed it down, but please Valve, at least increase the FOV to 100. I understand the spy argument, and 120 isn't necessary, but at least give us 100, even if only through cvars ;_;

Anyway, I've managed to reproduce it a couple of times with the teleporter taunt. Something interesting to note is that while in this bugged mode, fov_desired does absolutely nothing. You can set your FOV to 75 and everything is still at a high FOV. Taunting does not revert it, but taking a tele, dying, and scoping in do.

valve please just let us use 120 fov

It happened again in my next round of MvM

I was congaing pre-game and came out of it and suddenly 120fov

I did the laugh taunt pre-game after coming out of a teleporter in reaction to something the medic did

relax

Here's the demo. I left it running for quite awhile, so it's a little bloated (36MB). 120 FOV ends around 2:30 when I die.

It was amazing, I played that entire round with 120 and when it went back to 90 when I died, it nearly made me vomit.

EDIT: The demo file has 120fov. I'm uploading it now for you guys.

I run in borderless windowed mode though, not fullscreen. It shouldn't have done anything that wonky. I think the chat window was up because I did that to release the cursor for tabbing. I think third person FOV is higher than first person, but it didn't re-apply the first person for whatever reason at the end of the taunt.

Screenshot comparison in same exact spot at normal 90 FOV.

No. All I did was use the laugh taunt when coming out of a teleporter, right after having teled. I tabbed out of the game during the taunt, maybe that caused it?

Still in this MvM game so I haven't yet checked to see if the demo has the FOV.

So I was playing MvM on a Mann Up server (VAC) and I taunted and then when it went out of the taunt suddenly I had something like 110 or 120 FOV. It reset back to 90 when I died. I got a demo and a couple screenshots. fov_desired was set to 90 the entire time. Viewmodel FOV changed on top of normal FOV.

I've been at a conference all weekend with a 0.12/0.005mb internet connection, so I haven't been able to watch, but just from reading up about all of this on tf.tv I just wanna say that you guys are fucking amazing and, while I've had some issues with many in the TF2 community in the past, you folks resemble what every gaming community should strive to be.

Good on ya.

Can you try the GPU on another computer? If not, I would say RMA the GPU.

Why don't we actually try and diagnose the issue?

Does this model seem to be affected by viewmodel_fov, r_drawviewmodel, or cl_first_person_uses_world_model?

the crossbow is ridiculous

I hope Blizzard is trolling, because this is ridiculous.
