Still no fix for battle zoom speed?

[kekkuli]

So i've been having this problem every time i've tried playing this game for years now. No matter what i do the zoom with mouse scroll is abysmally slow in battles. I've tried limiting fps, changing camera movement speeds, but none of that does much. Only thing that noticeably does something is changing camera speed mid-battle with hotkey, but even that is not nearly enough. It still takes almost 30 full scrolls with my mouse to get from maximum elevation to the ground level.
Also the free look with camera (holding down mouse 5) is very slow and inconvenient. Camera movement speed itself is okay, but i'm really used to using scroll a lot in battles and it feels meh to try to play like this.

One way would be to increase the scroll speed of your mouse (lines per action) - but that will most likely mess up your day to day scrolling.
Else see if using the keypad will work better for you - it's the + - on the numerical pad if memory serves?

Doesn't work sadly. I, like the OC here, still have this problem. New mouse and everything. Nothing works. I just learned to play the battles zoomed out all the time.

I actually tried it and it didn't even work properly and didn't fix anything for me.

hey that camera mod actually fixes i had the exact same problem as you just go into the text file and go to OVERRIDE_MOVEMENT gives control over the of the camera position to freecam. This allows for infinite zooming, more consistent camera speeds etc.
# One issue currently is that you can go below ground.
OVERRIDE_MOVEMENT = true

HORIZONTAL_SMOOTHENING = 90.0%
VERTICAL_SMOOTHENING = 90.0% # Effects scrolling

HORIZONTAL_SPEED = 5.0
VERTICAL_SPEED = 5.0
change these they are usually at 1.0 so change them to whatever your comfortable with

Ran into this problem recently. Not sure why it affects some people but not others. Anyway, here is the solution that worked for me.

1. Go to the main game menu > Options > Keyboard settings > take note of the hotkey for the "Increase camera speed" function. For me, it's Page Up. What this function does, if you press it a few times during battle, is increase the speed of movement, rotation, and zooming. The goal is to increase only zooming though, so proceed to the next step.
2. Load up any battle. Open "Game settings" and lower the movement speed and rotation speed to almost the lowest value, but not quite all the way. Now press the "Increase camera speed" keybind 3 times. That fixed everything for me - movement speed as well as zoom speed feel perfect now.
3. The only downside is that you will need to press the "Increase camera speed" hotkey at the beginning of every single battle as it does not carry over.

Another way to fix this is to set up macros for the "Rotate Up" and "Rotate Down" keybinds (Numpad + and - by default) and assign them to the scroll function. That is if your mouse software supports macros. I use Razer Synapse and it works like a charm.

Well, this is actually the only thing that did help. At least it's playable now.

There was another thread recently where it got confirmed that using SHIFT while zooming significantly increases the speed.

[Iceni Total War]

"r" zooms in a lot faster for me in battles than middle mouse button/wheel and "f" for zooming back out.

[Gigantus]

SHIFT will accelerate it even more I would assume. I think the numerical +- keys are the equivalent of r and f.
