Description: XP-compatible ASI build of the original X: Beyond the Frontier - FOV Fix. This version is intended for legacy Windows XP setups and fixes Vert- style image cropping/stretching on widescreen resolutions by correcting the in-game FOV behavior. Mini installation guide: 1. Copy dinput.dll (Universal Windows XP ASI Loader) into the game folder (next to X.exe). 2. Copy X-Beyond-The-Frontier-FOV-Fix-WinXPEdition.asi into the same folder. 3. Copy X-Beyond-The-Frontier-FOV-Fix-WinXPEdition.ini into the same folder. 4. Configure resolution in the INI: Width = 0 and Height = 0 = auto-detect desktop resolution or set manual values (for example 1920 / 1080) 5. Start the game. Testet with X-BtF Version 2.2 (July 2010) Known Bugs: Use Turbo of X-Ship resets Fov to wrong value. Press F12 and click cancel in the Menu, to fix this.

You need to have the game CD copied over to C:\, so the executables stay at C:\Racing\Racing\ Edit the registry at HKCU\Front FarEast\Racing\ with RacingCD=C:\Racing\ and RacingDir=C:\Racing\Racing\ Copy over the files of the official patch and then replace the game files with these files. It should theoretically work without the official patch, but untested. The password is in the name of a text file in the archive.
