Issue with camera

[Xaid0n]

So I've just bought this, and I'm having problems with the camera controls, or lack thereof.

I've got no other inputs, but I can't move the camera at all, despite showing on the control list as bound to my mouse.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hold mouse button then move mouse.

On vaccation and tried to play on an MSI laptop. Mouse in game works for the on screen buttons. Like wiki, saving, manage crew.

But I can't move the external camera around by holding left button.
And in FPV I cant turn around or operate any of the necessary buttons by pointing the marker to button and using E.

Boat is Hermes on version 1.1.4.1.
I don't know if it is related to patching....

edit: hold right button iirc to freem cam
for the FPV tho, it should be free aim.

Mouse drivers, everything normal ?

Running on an MSI gaming laptop for the moment.

Had big trouble with moving camera in external view. Also in FPV, I couldn't turn or tilt the view up down with the mouse. This was my first trouble with this around July 10'th (look earlier post).

Then on same machine a bit later, everything worked the way it should. Camera could be moved, FPV was also controllable with the mouse. I have tried to find out if there was something on my machine which causes this or if it is different patches of the game or even the OS (win10).
I was not able to find out what caused it to work.

And now it has stopped working again. Status is like July 10'th.
And I still can't find out what causes the trouble.

* I have reset the key-bindings to defaults
* Tried different video-moduses (windowed, fullscreen, resolution...)
* Tried with a fresh profile (not loaded saved one)
* Have not found any pattern to windows-patches or game-patches.

At the same time, mouse-function works in the OS and other programs.
And also elsewhere in the game. Its just the camera-control and FPV-control of the person that does not work.

I don't think I will be able to progress any further on my own with this problem.

- have you tried other fullscreen methods maybe
borderless / full / windowed ?
- could another application take priority or something alike of you inputs ?
- Do you have more than one language for you keyboard (it can change keybinding but I dont see why it would do anything to mouse tho)
- Do you have a cat (they like mouse wires) :P
- is there another controller plugged-in, another wireless mouse or a controller, disconnect them?
- Alt-tab // alt-enter (toggle active aplication, toggle fullscreen)
- second screen, mouse is in 2nd screen ?

edit: IOS -> win10 emulation could be a cause maybe? (using win10 here w/o dualboot)

* full, windowed, switching between them, no success.
* borderless, I don't know how to manipulate
* I have just the game running,. And of course all the services. So lot's of things could grab the mouse-input. But at the same time, mouse works everywhere else in the game.
* just one language. I dont think it should do anything with the mouse-inputs.
* no mouse or cats, but I do have a wired mouse.
* just the wired mouse plugged in
* alt-tab, ant alt-enter has been tested
* just the lapttop-screen and mouse plugged into port directly on laptop
* win10 is installed directly as the only os on the laptop (no virtualisation)

It is however not the end of the world.
I just have to wait long enough and it will fix itself :-)

meh, I tried ;)

I finally found out what caused my problems on my laptop (MSI with Win10).

It was Comondo antivirus suite.

It launched the game in some kind of a sandbox. The only indication I got was a small green frame around the window. Everything worked except the mouse movements on camera and first-person-view.

The comodo was uninstalled.
After launching the game, the green frame around the windows was not there.
And everything worked as it should.


I think I will change my antivirus suite now. Comodo has brought my too much trouble.

Stating it to devs could helps others ;)
