Thread: Camera behavior

  1. #1

    Camera behavior

    Most know the semi-annoying camera behavior where it pivots to frontal view when you release the mouse button, if you use your mouse to look around while running.

    That I was trying to get used to, but an hour or so ago instead of just the camera pivoting... I run, I click my left mouse button to look around and when I release it my characters turns around looking in the direction the camera was when I released the button... mighty annoying.

    I don't know if I accidentally hit a shortcut and caused that behavior or it is a bug.

    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

    Try resetting your interface options to default or reloading your UI. To reload your UI it should be Ctrl+U but hit it twice.

    I am guessing that like CTRL+U is not mentioned anywhere, I hit some similar shortcut by mistake and changed the camera behavior.

    you cant disactivate "smart Camera" (wow terminology) in Swtor, no matter what you do it will always try to make the camera angle be behind you

    You probably didn't read my whole post. I know you can't... BUT now instead of it going behind me when I release the mouse button my WHOLE character turns and NOT the camera, which is even worse than before

    Have you tried restarting the game and your PC? I know it sounds retarded but you never know.

    I would offer more help but I can't login to check the interface options to get really nitty gritty with help.
