Camera won't stop moving

[Brandjuh[NL]]

Dear Cliff,

I love your game and you make a good progres with it.

Sadly I have one huge gamebreaking bug. Randomly the game camera is moving itself to one side, I can not stop this. What did I have tried?

Tried serval window sizes.
Save and reload.
Clicked on random things.
Deactivate virusscanners etc
Closed tasks.

All of this does not work. In some cases the game will stop it after a few minutes then I can use it normal.

I do use dual screen with Windows 10 64Bit. Legit steam version.

hmmm. if you hit all of the arrow keys, or WSAD one after the other, does that ever fix it? Are you sure you don't actually have a sticky key?
FWIW ,y fancy corsair keyboard seems to do that now and then.
How reproducible is it?

The game camera is controlled by:
WSAD
Arrow keys
Cursor at edges of window
Click and drag method.

If that helps?

Hi Cliff thanks for your repsonse.


I use a Logitech G15 from the 1st generation. I forgot to mention it but indeed I have tried the following things:
WSAD
Arrowkeys
Edge cursus
Drag en drop.

All of this method does cancel the movement but when I release the key its moving again. In the most cases its moving to the right/bottom or to the right/bottom corner.

The most strange part is when I save the game and load it again it is just move again.

Its the only game where I have the problem, it takes a minute few minutes and then its 'done' with moving and can freeky move around again. Also I have test the keyboard if there is a key stuck within notepad. That results are negative, so I do not have a key thats stuck.

I am not sure but I think the most time its happen after some research.

I have it again. I alt tabbed to my second montor and use chrome. Then when I come back its moving.

i have same bug

[boksiora]

hope there will be a fix soon... i cant play like that

is this maybe related to pausing the game? is it being triggered by anything that pauses the background factory? Is it maybe related to really low framerates? or is the frame-rate normally ok? It sounds almost like the game is 'buffering' a load of movement commands, but that shouldn't be possible.

[cliffski]

...i have a theory. is it related to 'modal' windows being open? (ie: those windows that wont let you click outside of them). if so I may have a solution.

[Brandjuh[NL]]

In my case the game runs great without low framerates and without pause. It looks like when you move out of the gamewindow its locking the mouse on the border so it wont stop moving.
After a few minutes it looks like there is a process that reset that. But its not clear why its also working on savegame's.

The most times it happens when I want to click on a video on dualscreen in special YouTube.

[cliffski]

OK...screen edge scrolling will be switchable 'off' in the next build. At least that will help me work out if it is that, or the key-states that is causing this (I cannot reproduce it on my PC). That will be half the battle. I looked at the code but can't see how it could get stuck thinking it should keep scrolling.

[boksiora]

hi thanks for reply, such option will be usefil

just to mention i was also alt+tab a lot and in also on dual monitors setup

now i loaded the savegame and the bug is gone , prevous times that i loaded the save the bug was there

its a hidden bug :)

[Brandjuh[NL]]

Its also one of the most strange bug I have noticed ever. I will take a look as soon the fix is released. Thanks so far! Maybe you can make a debug logger?

[cliffski]

the new release (1.28) yesterday lets you turn off edge scrolling. does that fix it? if so...that helps me work out what was causing it.

[Brandjuh[NL]]

Played a while and didnt had the problem.

[Brandjuh[NL]]

Nope didn't fix. Looks like it happens after the auto save. When not tapped in the game. However its less frequent and it stops faster.

[Brandjuh[NL]]

Again: Alt tabbed out of the game with dual screen, click on youtube. games auto-save and scrolls. Won't stop now.
