Camera zooming

[Michael]

I noticed that, much like in the first game, it seems the camera can be zoomed in and out with the mouse wheel, but not at all with the controller. This is...disapointing. Is there no way to use the right stick to zoom in and out?

My highest hope for the game was the big "full controller support" tag on the store page. I have a pretty bad wrist injury, and I would really be greatful if I could do everything with the controller, as advertised. Camera zooming is a pretty big one - at least for me.

Is the option for it there and I simply missed it? If not, are there any plans to address this?

Bumping this. It's getting especially annoying as the camera keeps resetting every time you enter a new zone.

I posted this same controller issue for the original Van Helsing game, and never got a response there, either.

Here is your problem.

then does not work with controller?? as did not won the game, I think I will not buy so

[☣Patient Zero☣]

Sounds dumb. This is something that would also stop me from buying, and is. Also wondering if the text scaling was ever fixed. Couldn't read jack in the first one

No. Here is my problem:

[Insert store page link showing the "full controller support tag" here. I'm too tired to be bothered to actually paste it and do battle with your idiotic, unproductive comment.]

Also...once more: Wrist injury.

Thanks for playing. Say something useful next time.

Bumping again, since this got burried 4 pages down. *sigh*

I would greatly appreciate a dev to answer this for me so I can know if it's something being looked at in the future.

While I have no trouble with this (playing with a controller) I play fron on my desk just as I would for KB/M games so I don't have trouble reading text or need to zoom for that.

Some things are missing, however personally I wouldn't know how to map all the Keyboard binding onto a controller, keyboard just has much more keys.

Something that is not directly related to the OP but what would be handy is that even if you use the controller you can still use your keyboard as well. In the options you would be able to change between controller or keyboard UI but you'de still be able to use like the zoom key on the keyboard for example.

This is something that The Witcher III has, I play that game with a controller as well but even then you can still use your keyboard and mouse.

Torchlight on the console did it just fine. As did Dungeon Siege 3. There's room. At least give us the ability to customize our controller profile ourself, if the task is too daunting. :-)

[Fhaerron]

Oh yeah I never played Torchlight on the console.

The Elder Scrolls Online now has controller support on the PC (beta for now) and there you can actually map the keys yourself. In key binding you have keyboard or mouse bind but also controller button so you can change it.
That's a handy feature however, not many games have this 'free' keybindmapping for controller, I think this is a pretty advanced feature to develop.

Yes this is an old thread "insert anti-necroing bull**** here " but as it's the first thing google brings up regarding Van Helsing and zoom with controllers it's the best place to make sure has this info.
(necro-ing tends to keep the highest ranked search results filled with actually relevant information)

Just found out by messing with the mouse wheel (in the non final cut version, so probably also in the final cut) while playing with a gamepad that you can edit zoom with the mouse even if using a gamepad, so yes it lacks full controller support but at the very least if you want it more zoomed in you can still just use a mouse whenever it needs changing since it's not too common that most people will want to modify zoom levels.

So of the games issues this is at least a very minor one.
