Camera angle Annoyance

[Kel]

It feels like after every turn I have to press the "Home" key to reset my camera because it keeps changing my camera between turns. Is there a way to prevent the camera angle from changing when i'm not the one actually changing it?

Usually if the camera rotates when it You hit end turn - it should rotate back every time. If You need to hit "home" every time, something is wrong with it. Perhaps it happens rarely, but it shouldn´t. Usually when i play longer, "serious" campaigns i set the ally camera to close or low, and the enemy camera to cinematic, so i get quite the rotation in turns, and i never need to press that button. Only when i accidentally hit the "Q" or "E" button, because it´s nice to rotate the camera in battle with the mouse, but on the campaign map with these buttons. Why is that? Even more so if that same mouse button pans the map on the campaign map, which i can do with the keyboard as well - or the mouse if i hit the edge of the screen.

Here in WH3 i only used standard settings - but You could also turn that feature off - or set it to show it on the zoomed out level. It shouldn´t rotate then (perhaps except for diplomatic offers)

Yeah I noticed that a lot in MP, with no rhyme or reason. I’d be looking north, “WTF did that mountain range come from?!! Oh. [hits home key]”

Anyone else know why sometimes it does that, sometimes not?

Can´t speak for multiplayer, when someone said that sometimes the options of another player are inherited. For single player i can say that i never had that issue. 100% of the time. It might happen though - but perhaps in really rare cases. If it happens always, or "after every turn" - i have no idea.

Yeah I don't know what is going on because it can be somewhat inconstant about how it works. I don't mind my camera angle zooming in on where the action is taking place but it would be nice if it would return me back to my previous position and the same camera angle

There is a mod called 'better camera' I think, Im not sure what it changes.

If you want to reset your camera rotation without zooming to your capital, use the End key instead of Home.

It usually happens if your screen is rotated at some point during the end turn cycle and the game rotates the view a second time during that same end turn cycle, before the game has reset the rotation (after the first rotation). The game resets the rotation to what it was before the game rotates the view, so if it hasn't completely reset before the second rotation (in that end turn cycle) it remembers the last rotation setting (in this case the setting before it rotated a second time). It happens most often in multiplayer because there's more things happening on screen.

As for inheriting settings from other players in multiplayer games, I used to see this a lot in WH2 (games with certain friends would diverge from my settings as host), not seen it in WH3 yet.

Most my games I player are multiplayer. I figured it had something to do with it being multiplayer. I don't see it as a bug but it's also not a wanted feature
