Can't scroll up and down - 12/12/2008 7:42:25 PM

Status: offline 		Maybe this is related to my video driver issues, but I'd like to see if anyone else runs into it before giving up completely. After exiting to the global map, then returning to the game, suddenly I can't scroll up and down anymore. I can still scroll left and right, and the game seems to work OK otherwise. This problem started after installing the patch. It also seems to be tied to saved games in that I can reload a saved game and the problem goes away until I exit to the global map and try to re-enter the sector. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

If you install the game, then copy the system.cfg file from the main game folder to a backup folder, then apply the update and copy the system.cfg back, you should have the update with the old camera settings to see if that helps in your case.

Status: offline 		Yeah, I was afraid that a reinstall might  be in order.  I really like having the improved vision from the camera, tho, so just thought of this:  I am going to try starting a brand new game under  the beta to see if maybe the same thing doesn't happen this time.  It's an excuse to delete a bunch of mercs I've grown to hate, anyway.  If it happens again, then I'll reinstall.  Or maybe by then, someone else will have run into this issue.

I guess I got a dud version, 'cause this trick didn't work. The exe started, then just sort of died. I tried it both from the menu and quick start (although it probably shouldn't matter). Maybe tomorrow I'll reinstall. It took friggin' _forever_ to install the first time!

Status: offline 		Hm - are all of you turning off any anti-virus/security software while installing? The fact that a reinstall is fixing this issue suggest some kind of odd file corruption.

Had you changed any of the game options/settings after installation? Perhaps we can trace down the problem setting there.

As soon as I tilt the camera it scrolls just fine after that. Weird.

I have the same problem. ALso, the default view always goes back to max zoom in until I tilt the camera, then it will finally save the view when clicking on the mini map or a character. I have tried adjusting the view options in the setup area, but no luck.

Have you tried tilting the camera or moving it around a bit first and then scrolling? Try zooming in and out as well and see if that helps. Check out this post for a full list of camera controls:
