Mouse scrolling?

Maybe i'm remembering something that wasn't there, but aren't you supposed to be able to move your mouse cursor to the edge of the window and it scroll your view? Since patching with today's patch (uninstalled completely then installed fresh copy as per instructions) I can't move that way (have to zoom out, then zoom back in on an object). Also, if I double click a ship to lock my view on it, as soon as I zoom it unlocks the camera from the ship which is driving me nuts.

Guess add these to the /bugs list if its not something specific to my client.

New planet exploration system seems pretty neat though, guessing you can only see planets that you have a phase lane too? Makes more of a mystery when the game starts which should be fun for exploring!

I'm wondering if this has to do with that patch note mentioning the toggle for "zoom to cursor" ? I didn't see the mouse scrolling listed anywhere as having changed in the patch notes except maybe the one about "auto-strafing fixed to galaxy extents" ?

Got it working by deleting the UIMapping file like Blair had suggested in another thread!

If anyone else is having that issue just go to your Application Data folder for this game and delete the uimapping.settings file and it should fix it!

Default location is here: C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\settings (not sure if its called settings on the last folder but you can find it from there).

Now back to the game, thanks for the patch!

ironwill96,

Thanks for posting the solution here. I wasn't aware of the other thread where Blair posted a workaround; I appreciate your diligence in re-posting it here.

Yep, Blair has acknowledged some scrolling issues already, AFAIK.
