How can I run Flawless Widescreen alongside Battlefield 4 on Linux?

Asked By TechyTurtle77 On

Hey everyone! I'm trying to tweak the FOV for Battlefield 4. While the game does have an FOV slider, it only works in multiplayer, which is a bummer. I found out that there's a program called Flawless Widescreen that can run alongside BF4 to adjust the FOV for single-player. The catch? I'm on Linux!

I came across a Reddit post where someone mentioned launching Flawless Widescreen with another game using the same Proton prefix, and I'm hoping to do something similar for BF4. Here's the command I want to use:

`gamescope -f -g --force-grab-cursor -H 1080 -W 1920 --framerate-limit 144 -- %command%`

My questions are: How can I set this up correctly? Will it affect my achievements? And how should I modify the command if I want to run it with gamescope? Thanks a lot! This will help me run other complementary software with my games in the future.

To run Flawless Widescreen alongside BF4 on Linux, you basically need to make sure both programs can launch at the same time. It looks like you're on XFCE which uses X11, while gamescope is a micro Wayland compositor, so that could complicate things a bit. You might want to try launching both with a script that ensures they run together without conflicts.

As for achievements, usually games can't track achievements if modifications are made, but it's sometimes game-dependent. Just keep that in mind!

What specifically would you change in the launch parameters to make them compatible?
