Camera moving on it's own?
Since the new 1.1 update my game is super glitched camera wise. When I started the game it was fine but then the camera would start moving to one side on it's own and the middle mouse wheel wouldnt turn the camera almost at all. Any ideas on a solution?

Haven't experienced this issue, but maybe some more info can help identify the problem:

- Have you got a controller plugged in? A drifting thumb stick might be interfering with the camera controls (e.g. the thumb stick might be controlling the camera and conflicting with your attempts to use the mouse at the same time)

- Do you have a multi-monitor setup or just one monitor? Some games have similar problems with multi-monitor setups, especially when 'edge panning' is enabled and you move the mouse to a different screen. Perhaps Planet Zoo is one of those games.

- Did you check the options menu to see if your mouse settings have changed? Although it would be strange to happen *during* a gaming session.

If you think of anything else yourself, feel free to add it as well. The more info we have, the easier it will be to pinpoint the problem and find a fix for it.

Well I don't have a controller plugged in but I do have a multi monitor set up. I never had a problem before but perhaps the settings reset with the update. If anything I also thought about uninstalling and reinstalling the game

Does it happen immediately after you press one of the WASD keys? If so, restart. That's the only way I got it to stop.

Usually yeah, I messed around with my settings a little and I did get it to stop.

I experienced it a couple of times. I just tapped the WASD key that corresponded to the direction the camera was zooming. Although, I only experienced it those couple of times in the same game session, so restarting probably fixed the trigger.

This happened to me a lot, I realised it only happened when I used the steam overlay. Since I stopped using the steam overlay in this game the drifting never happened again. I just alt+tab now to visit guides and calculators

It's a well-documented bug related to the Cobra Engine. It occurs in Planet Zoo as well.

I have never had this issue and I turned the steam overlay off when I started playing this game so you may be correct.

Ridiculous that this is still an issue. Opened the game hoping this would be fixed by now. Started a new game and in the first five minutes the camera just moves in one direction on its own 3 different times.

LOL. Do you mean Planet Coaster?

The only time I encounter this is when I move my mouse to close to the sides of the monitor.
