Cannot strafe right or downward

March 15, 2009 3:42:46 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I started up a game today and during the game, as the title says, I lost the ability to strafe right or down with either the keyboard or mouse (I usually have mouse-strafing disabled).

 

I'm not sure exactly how far into the game this occurred.  For the heck of it I tried loading up one of my older save games and I could strafe no problem.  It just seems to be with the one game-save.

 

It was a random huge map, and I'd never played one of those before, but everything looks like it runs smoothly.

 

Any ideas?

There is an option to disable the 'strafe at screen border' under 'user interface'. In window and fullscreen mode it also works differently. But how that could be changed by just loading a different savegame, I have no idea, sorry.

I think you misunderstand.  For example when I have mouse strafing enabled, I cannot strafe right or down with the mouse or arrow keys.  Left and upward strafes fine.

I think I've found the problem anyway:  I had all graphics maxed out.  This worked fine with small and medium sized maps, but the huge one I was using couldn't handle it.  After turning down some of the graphics options it started to work again.  I still have problems with it when ship numbers start to get high, but again, if I lowered the options further the problem would probably be solved.

I've just never had this as a symptom of taxed resources before.

Thanks for the response.
