Stultophobe Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Never had this problem before, but after logging into my SH my camera rotation is like 5000%. No clue *** is going on, and it's only in this game. Checked settings. Apparently you can only choose between four or so rotation speeds for some reason (26% lowest). So I set it to 0%, which was way too slow. Every other option is way too fast. At 26% I'll move my mouse less than an inch and do a 360. Not even being hyperbolic in the title. Can't play the game until this is resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeristash Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I used to have this problem a few years ago where I would right click to move the camera and it would spin like a whirlwind.. I fixed it by lowering my mouse personal sensitivity settings outside the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrusramsey Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Hmm, I remember there being a reference to that in a settings file somewhere.. *checks* In "<user>\AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings" there is a file called "<username>_Account.ini" with the attribute "Controls_CameraRotationSpeed" in it, I am operating under the assumption that you could fine tune it in there. Now I've never mucked with this in swtor, but .ini files like this are just a way to store client side settings, so it's not like you'd be breaking anything. Might be worth saving the original value for that attribute all the same. Edit: Feeling a bit.. uncertain about my statement. Not its meaning, but possible interpretations. It's of course possible to cause plenty of problems by mucking around in config files if you do not know what you're doing, and my "not like you'd be breaking anything" was referring to changing a numerical value to an attribute of which you could reasonably assume, with some common sense, what it would do. Late disclaimer added because of visions of people randomly adjusting every line because I said they wouldn't break anything. >.> Edited November 27, 2016 by cyrusramsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but this seems to have had no effect in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadSkywalkur Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 people randomly adjusting every line because I said they wouldn't break anything. >.> Haha, I can totally see that. That is the correct answer though. And if you want to just set the rotation speed back to default, simply delete the entire line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerba Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Thanks, but this seems to have had no effect in-game. You need to have the game closed when editing the file. I have it set to: Controls_CameraRotationSpeed = 0.1 which is fine for me. And then, never ever touch the camera rotation slider in the in-game Preferences, or else it will be messed up again. That bug has been in the game for years, so don't expect to see it fixed. Edited November 27, 2016 by Jerba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zasszz Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I had this issue a year ago when I rejoined. Took me some days to find a solution myself. As above mentioned, editing the account.ini did the trick. My settings reseted a few weeks ago and setting it to this fixed it again: Controls_CameraRotationSpeed = 0.10000000149 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
