Installation
Just download the archive, and unzip.
How to use
Start Baldurs Gate 3 then start BG3BC.exe.

If you use Vulkan version change vulkan variable to true in settings.ahk.
You can define default camera Zoom, Angle and Distance settings too.

Activate Better Camera mode press F9.
(All hotkey is changeable in settings ahk.)

When better camera mode is active :
- hold ALT and use MouseWheel for changing camera's vertical angle dinamically
- use custom setting from settings.ahk

If want to hide UI, press F10.

Warning: only steam version supported!

FAQ
Q: I got "Game not found" message when BetterCamera loaded!
A: Use equal UAC rights for DOS2 and BetterCamera. If you prefered configuration starting Steam as admin, run BetterCamera too.

Q: I got "Version mismatch!" message when BetterCamera loaded!
A: Wait for proper release or use older bg3_dx11.exe or bg3.exe (if you backuped).

Q: "A referral was returned from the server."
A:
a, Try running BG3BC.exe as admin.

b, If this not helped, get autohotkey [www.autohotkey.com]and install with these parameters[imgur.com],

After authotkey installed on your system, you can start script with double click on BG3BC.ahk file (the BG3BC.exe is not need, you can safely remove).

Thank you very much.
I'm sorry but I don't understand how to use your mod.
How do you set the parameters in order to look horizontaly (and not downwards as vanilla) when zoom in max ?

A petition? Seriously why not ?

My kingdom for a camera mod that allows your characters to recover from their neck injuries and look up.

Any alternatives?

If you're gonna abandon the mod at least have the decency to remove your "donate to me pls" bs. Donate to what? A mod that's been broken since 2021?

By the way I wonder why devs are so obsessed about camera tilt.
It was the same issue with DOS 1 & 2.

@Moyocoya this was more in response to an earlier post where somebody said it may not be possible any more. The photo mode camera isn't ideal but shows that the functionality is still there as you can tilt to your hearts content, we just need something for gameplay rather than taking photos :)

@tomsolo
Can you explain how you update the memory adress, when the game updates?
Technical details welcome.
Maybe you can put it on github, so people can also do this for you and you just approve the PR.
