Camera problem

Post by Elostirion » Thu Feb 02, 2023 11:20 pm

Okay,

I downloaded, installed, started TurtleWoW, and made a character. I end up in my starting area and the first thing I click on with my mouse causes my camera to either go straight up and I'm looking at the sky or straight down and I'm looking at the dirt. I have absolutely no clue why this is happening. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this? And if you do, explain it to me as if I'm a moron (cause, well, I am) or like I'm 3 years old cause if you go "Oh, just do X" without giving me the steps to GET to "X", I won't know what in the name of God you're talking about. crying_turtle

I am using a second monitor, rather larger than the standard (in fact, its my primary monitor but Turtle WoW always opens on Monitor 2 for some reason).

hello man!

this is a general vanilla wow client issue.

some say if u remove hardware cursor option from ur video options it help.
other says u can configure it from ur general mouse options.

i tried both. but nothing helps.

and this issue is a big problem for me. cause im mainly pvp and u can imagine how annoying this is.
i think im gonna have to live with it, cause i love the server but for real this issue demotivates me a lot.

PEACE! maintenance_turtle

I have had the same problem and I have looked for help in a number of old forums, I have tried a number of things and the only thing that has worked has been to lower the mouse polling rate to a minimum, in my case I have lowered it from 1000 hz to 125 hz and now i can play reasonably well

Majestik51,
Do you have a Corsair mouse using iCUE software?
I was able to mostly (99%) fix my issue by changing the polling for my mouse in that software to 125Hz, disabling 'Button Response Optimization' and turning off Enhance Pointer Precision (found in another section of the software).

I'm having another camera related issue. When ever I hold right click to control my direction while moving, the curser will reappear and disappear rapidly and begin acting as if I'm not holding it down but instead holding and releasing it rapidly. It makes it impossible to turn.

aced the exact same issue today: on the second monitor, the camera was floating while the right or left mouse button was pressed. Out of all the solutions I found, the one from Reddit helped me. Here's the full message:

I had this issue but fixed it, cant remember how, just know that It's not a mouse issue.

Try enabling rawmouseinput, and rightclick WoW.exe and do the following;

Properties > Compatibility > Check "Disable fullscreen optimization"

Properties > Compatibility > "Change settings for DPI" (Or something like this" > Then check the box furthest down
The last part of this actually worked for me.
