Disable Q + W / E + W / Q + S / E + S camera tilt controls
I have played countless strategy games and have always been able to move the camera forward while at the same time rotating my screen, its automatic muscle memory I have done it so much. This game is unplayable because you guys decided to include an option that all of a sudden makes this button combo ALSO tilt the screen up and down and also decided that this feature would not be something you could toggle on/ off? I dont know whos genius idea this was but they should be fired.

Can someone create a mod or option to disable this ridiculous camera tilt button combos? What strategy game has EVER used the Q+W buttons to tilt the screen? Only ONE, this game! WTF

This was always like that in our other city builder - Tropico and IDK if someone had complained at some point before but I can't remember exactly. I'll relay your feedback to our team for evaluation.

Hi, thanks for responding. I played Tropico V only on PS4 and I originally bought this game on PS4. I played for literally 2 days straight and got to the point I just felt a mouse and keyboard would be a lot better for this genre of game so then I also bought it on PC and I have no been able to play it since because the camera always tilts. I am a big Civ, Total war and AoE fan and I have become accomstomed to certain controls for camera and movement in an RTS and this is unlike anything I have played, its over a decade of muscle memory I would have to relearn

Also I was very surprised myself to find that no one else has ever complained about this and that I was the first one to need to post for this topic :*(

Just so you know Priime isn't just some isolated weirdo :Khappy:.. I just bought the game and the same thing is driving me INSANE. (Love the game, though!)

going to say you older sister promotion game, City skylines, method of not conflicting the pan and rotation keys, is a UX method to reflect on.

Exactly, take a look at the city skylines camera controls, that how it should be. The way it is now is very limiting as you can do either pan or rotation one at a time, but not pan while rotating. Other games allow this too, Kenshi, Transport fever, the whole Sims series etc. I would consider this a standard.

I had the same problem but adapted after a few hours. Still irritating though; I make the same mistake whenever I come back to play again!

Agree that the camera controls should mimic Cities: Skylines.
