View Full Version : Camera Not Zooming Properly After EB is Installed on New Computer

When I press “end” or double-click a unit card I am taken right behind that unit. I used to be able to press an arrow key while the camera was moving behind a unit and I would “speed zoom” there (I can think of no better phrase). Ever since I started playing EB on my new computer, when I press an arrow key while the camera is moving to behind a particular unit, the camera just stops and jumps back in the direction it came from. It’s hard to explain, but I think someone who has experienced this before will understand what I’m talking about. It is annoying because I have to pause the battle to drag my screen over to one side of the battle and micro-manage there and then pause and go back to the other side. I used to be able to just select a unit from either flank, press end, and zoom right behind it in a matter of milliseconds. Now, I have to either pause or sacrifice precious seconds while my sluggish camera drudges around the battlefield.

Also, I used to be able to press the home key and it would zoom behind my general. Now it doesn’t seem to work (I press home and nothing happens). Yes, I checked, Home is set as the “zoom camera to general.”
key.

I ask here rather than on the general RTW tech help forums because this problem is curiously only related to EB. My camera and keys work as normal in all of my other mods. Now I must skedaddle to escape the angry mobs coming to lynch me for playing other mods.

It doesn't have anything to do with the 3 different cameras in the video options?

*gathers together Ibrahim, Moros, and Thracian bodyguards*
~:grouphug: Ok, I got the noose right here. I'll lead the charge with Ibrahim and my bodyguard, and Moros'll flank him. We should be able to catch that EB traitor and hang him!!

No, it doesn't. I'm using the same camera as always--RTS.

There is an obtrusive problem and I would very much appreciate it if a kind soul could help me out.

:bump: I'll give it one more day.

I have no idea how EB could have effected this part of the game. If other people have the same problem then maybe we did, if not then its unlikely we'll be able to fix it. H

However, this is in the wrong forum so I'll move it to its proper home.
