How come I don't see the Field of View slider?

I don't see a FOV slider on the Graphic Detail page of the clipboard.

Are you running "Version 3.03 Patch 1"?

For it to work, you have to check the "Use Custom Field of View" option, then use the slider below it to adjust the FOV.  Once you hit the "OK" button the change will take effect.

You cannot be on "Version 3.03 Patch 1" with that screenshot, unless you had a patch failure of some type when the Version 3.03 Patch 0 to Version 3.03 Patch 1 patch installed.

If you did have a patch failure, the only way to fix it is to download the full install and install it over the top of your current version.  You will not lose anything that way and it will fix whatever it broken.

I'll try downloading it again.

Here's my start screen, though.

Before you install the new version, make sure the file "htdlg.res" is NOT marked read-only!  It is located in the game installation folder.
