No camera control

Postby Umfafa Umfafason » Wed Feb 18, 2009 4:13 am

Happens with both Multiwinia and Darwinia. Got the steam versions of both.

Camera goes nuts for no reason. Keeps swinging up to the sky every few seconds, changing position randomly. Makes the games unpossible to play.

Any ideas?

Find it hard to believe that no one else has this problem...

Used to be able to play just fine. Got a new Logitech mouse, don't know if that has anything to do with it...

I have the CD version of Darwinia and ever since I installed the latest patch I've had this issue too. I've had to stop playing the game because it's simply unplayable without being able to control the camera. :(

What kind of hardware are you running? What version of Darwinia?

hmm, I really don't understand how or why, but changing my screen resolution seems to have done away with the anomalous camera control. I can't recreate the problem anymore. Hopefully I continue not to have problems. For some reason after patching I seem to have lost some of my progress. I complete the Pattern buffer and escort missions with a totally unpatched version but now I'm running I think it's 1.5.11 and those points on the map are flashing again. Hopefully beating them a second time will stick so I can actually progress with the game lol

Has there been a fix for this? I played fine right up to PatternBuffer then it started doing it. At first it would swing up once then stop for a while, but it's getting progressively worse.

I've had different issues with mouse control, solved by running in windowed mode. If you have the cd version reinstall and patch up to 1.3 then 1.4 to see if that's the problem.
