Camera spins 360° when right clicking

November 17, 2011 7:18:14 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hey everyone, just recently bought SoaSS off steam and played a few games, and so far I am loving it. My one concern however is when I right click to move the camera, even if ever so slightly, the camera violently spins 360 degrees. After that though it acts normally until I release the click. I'm assuming this is not intentional, but this is the only game I've ever had this problem with. Is there any way I can change this so the camera acts normally?

Are you playing window'd. I ask because this happens to me if I'm playing window'd while doing something else then coming back to Sins. It doesn't happen when I play full screen.

Indeed.

When clicking back onto Sins from another window, often Sins thinks that a mouse button is still being pressed down or something, or that Alt or Control is being held down, and you have to then press whichever key it is again in order to get it back to normal.

Nah I don't use windowed mode in games if I can help it. I tried it out to see if it made a difference but it was the same deal. Also tried switching mice but no dice.

Edit: the camera spins more if I drag the mouse from the edge of the screen vs dragging it from the middle if that helps at all.

Steam might run SoaSE in a windowed mode in order to run its background processes at the same time...

But wouldn't that mean everyone who got SoaSS on Steam would have this issue?

If you are low on memory, this might be the reason.

No idea, you are the first I have met to have bought SoaSE on Steam.

And to have this problem...
