Ext Camera has goes nuts

STEED · 03-18-07, 06:22 PM

From time to time my ext. camera has a mental breakdown it starts to swing back-wards ans for-wards at a angle out of control and it really is a pain if I want to take a screen shot.

GWX 1.02 with SH3C
Along with a few mods via the JSGM with the only exception of new ships which I place into there locations.

I know what you're talking about. I had the same problem in GW1.1a, GWX 1.00/1.02 as well. Unfortunatelly there is nothing you can do to stop the bloody thing rotating

Just stop your game, save and reload.

It is because you are in Port, and you are looking at Ground Units, such as aircraft are considered ground units. Try not to use the external cam within port, use the Free Cam instead.

I have had this happen at sea, it just sort of freaks-out

Same here. I had this situation in open waters actually and never in port (or even close to it)

In port at sea make no differences at all. It's a pain in the ar*e.

That's true mate but I don't think there is a solution to the problem

That is about it isn't it

One thing I can say is this problem is coming more frequent.

At this rate I will not be able to take anymore sceenies at that sucks.

Ahh the camera bug once again. I frickin hate it.

Tuddley3 & melnibonian are correct though. Nuttin else you can do about it apparently. I started experiencing the bug with Harbour Traffic more or less. Now with WAC just getting out of the pens no way I can hit [.] more then two-three times then poof. Bounce - swing, bloody frickin thing even.

I was thinking one of those new balls to the walls video cards would take care of it but from the looks of it, NOT.

danurve · 03-19-07, 02:56 PM

Wouldn't it be funny though if it was exclusive to just IX boat Kaleuns? :rotfl:

Ok that was just mean.

emtmedic005 · 03-19-07, 03:15 PM

This happens to me somethings, But only when im close to an enemy port and there are Land units like searchlights or coastal bunkers. Like i'll be approaching a harbor and i'll get a radar contact and i can view the ships but once my WO spots a land unit the Ex, Camera goes mental. Anyone got any idea wat happens.
O yeah im using TGW1.1a
