Zoom issue - 5/27/2013 10:05:46 PM

I'm hoping someone knows an easy fix to this problem. Playing Legends on my new windows 8 laptop, the game insists on zooming in to the maximum level all the time. I can zoom out but the game will go right back as soon as I stop. Obviously this makes it impossible to play. I'm using a LogiTech M505 mouse but the issue comes up with the clickpad as well. I updated the game, ran it in every compatibility mode I can think of, updated mouse drivers, set processor affinity to just one, and nada. I had one instance where the issue did not occur, but I don't recall doing anything different at that time. If anyone has any ideas to offer I will be very grateful.

I'm running DW on an Alienware M15x laptop under Win8/64bit without this zoom issue, perhaps because I zoom using the PageUp and PageDown keys.

My old Synaptics driver's 'emulate mouse wheel' feature feels unconfortable and I don't always take a mouse with me.

Thank you for your reply. When I remove the mouse the issue remains, however. Are you running the game with any kind of compatibility settings?

Not sure what your problem could be. Does it zoom in immediately( as in blink) or is it a progressive zoom as when doing it manually?

Hi WriterNotViking

That's an unusual problem. The keys for zooming in DW are PgUp and PgDown. Also the Home key zooms in to 100% immediately. Maybe one of these keys is stuck on your keyboard? Or the scroll wheel is somehow being continually activated?

That's all I can think of, I'm sorry.

Thank you for your response. As of right now, the problem seems to have been resolved. If I ever figure out what I did to achieve this I will post here.

DW needs to be run as administrator as far as I see. Otherwise it won't start.
