Is it possible to stop it switching cameras?

[Ted Maul]

Just bought the game yesterday but I'm really annoyed by it switching to an external camera randomly. Is there any way to stop this and just leave it on the camera I pick?

And you sure you not pressing a button? Sound like you do

[Ted Maul]

No. Does it at the same place every time. There was a 'destroy everything' campaign where I had to drive a truck down a mountain. Every time the truck went over the ridge I got switched to a camera that faced the front of the truck and totally lost my bearings.

I'd like the camera to stay as the driver cam, not switch to the external one.

Turned the campaign, and game, off in the end as it was very annoying.

so while you are driving it randomly switches to a different camera?

Completely, totally, yes!

At exactly the same point in the 'script'.

Start driving truck, get to edge of mountain, drive over edge, switch camera to external.

I went through all the settings I could find, but couldn't stop it doing it.

Ooo wait are you talking about a scenario or campaign?

At that those things it will change automaticly yes to a chinematic camera to enjoy all the glory from a better view.

I dont know if you can turn off.

Anyway if you go into freeroam mode this will never happen, so you can try replicate there what you are doing but keep the same camera no matter what

[Ted Maul]

OK thanks. Yeah I tried the campaign again and it's just a buggy mess. Some of the scripts start with a cinematic camera so you can't see where you're driving. Other times the car just drives off the cinematic camera and you can't see it.

When the car's in the air the cinematic camera kicks in and it looks great, then as you get to impact, it switches back into the cockpit and all you can see is a cracked windscreen.

Then if something spectacular does happen, I can't see an option to view a replay (because the camera switching missed it), just take a photo.

This was my first experience of the game and it was hugely disappointing.

I dont really agree with your points.

I strongly suggest you go into “freeroam” and try out everything it got to offer there.

How can you not agree with them? I was describing what happened to me in the game, how it behaved.

I have a video of it if you really want me to post it.

I'm done.

How about you try that campaign yourself, and come back and tell me it doesn't happen for you? How can you disagree without even trying it?

The 'Senseless Destruction' campaign has special cameras in places. The game will automatically switch the camera when you do certain things in those missions. This is currently not disable-able.

This should not occur in other modes.

Thanks - but this makes it almost unplayable.

On at least 2 of the scripts. I start off in a cinematic camera facing my car head on, from a distance. Driving is almost impossible, and certainly not fun.

Since steering is now opposite to how I'd naturally steer, the car is incredibly difficult to drive, and several times I've driven it off the edge of the screen. The camera hasn't followed it, so I end up trying to drive a car, from a cinematic camera, counter steering, that I cannot see.

Not fun.

We are aware, we are already got similar feedback.
For now we are focused on the newer content and features. Once we go revisit those campaigns, we will look for better solutions.

[Ted Maul]

Ah OK. Thanks.

Still not fixed.

It's nauseating to jump camera views and you lose camera control.

Why would you not be allowed to switch camera views.

I wonder how many people didn't give up when their driving sim forced them to play from a static view of the front bumper.
