fisheye

Settings > Graphics > Post Processing > Depth of Field

Maybe this is what you are after?

Quote from Greengo

is there any way to get rid of the fisheye effect? I played last year and recently reloaded it. didn't remember the fisheye effect being so bad.

This is a submenu in the graphic settings. View settings. Set the panini projection, i. e. the slider to 0.

Ah that explains. You are playing the Java Version of the game.

1. enter a world in your game

2. open settings

3. click on "Sichtfeldanpassung" (sorry, only know the german word - its in the lower left corner of the settings screen)

4. change the FoV

In which case Avanar 's reply will fix things.

P.s. Greengo the Java forum is here, you posted in the unity forum

I have version 9.5. didn't see any updates anywhere.

The new version is currently only available in a beta branch on Steam and needs to be manually enabled This topic contains more information about it: How to get the new version

I've also moved this topic to the Java forum As mentioned by Avanar , you're probably looking for the FOV ("field-of-view") setting. If it's too large or too small, you get a "fisheye" effect (depending on your monitor size and resolution). In english, the according button in the graphics settings is called "View adjustment" btw. The default FOV setting is 80.

Greengo Java-Version explains a lot. The standard Fov is 60 as I remember. I played with 68 or 72 over the years.

More is in my opinion too much distortion.

Hehe, don't worry, it's indeed not very obvious that there is a Unity version available This will definitely change in the next couple of months, when the new version is a bit more fleshed out and ready to replace the Java version (but of course the Java version will also remain playable).

About the FOV setting, if you play on a 16:9 screen and resolution (e.g. 1920x1080), 70-85 is usually a good setting. If you have an ultrawide screen (e.g. 21:9 aspect ratio), it may be necessary to set a larger FOV value (80-100). If the FOV is too large, the screen gets distorted on the left and right. If the FOV is too small, everything feels "zoomed in". But at the end of the day, it also depends on your own preferences

Btw welcome Greengo

too bad for me the beta is in steam. would LOVE to see the unity version

Actually the new version is also available for the standalone (it's a separate launcher in the downloads section, which is accessible if you own the standalone) But it looks like you don't have the standalone (at least it's not linked to your account)?

Did you just confirm that you played an illegal version?

The link works fine btw

Pirated software is the best way to get spyware, malware, boot sector virus', rootkits, becoming a node in a zombie network, or numerous other nasties on your computer.

I have downloaded free versions of game for 30 years and NEVER had a problem with viruses or whatever else. I use good anti-virus software. ALL games should offer a trial or test version. they are WAY too expensive and have NO return policy. As I said quite plainly, every game I played and liked even a bit I ended up BUYING. I am on social security and disabled. can't afford new games, so I get older ones on gog when i do buy.

Sure sure.

You can trial ANY game on Steam for two hours and return it.

i just confirmed there are about 200 rising world torrents on the pirate bay website. dled one in a vm and it works. not sure what red can do about it.
