Wouldn’t let me attach a video but this has been happening ever since university came out/the November patch. Unsure which is the problem as I downloaded them at the same time.
@DaQueerio Moving this to tech as it's not a bug (or rather a bug that they fixed in a certain way which isn't self-explanatory)
There should be a bug report on it somewhere but as I can't find it atm and have so much to go through, I'll just move and give you the short version of the fix
As @RoseLudaA said, you saved the camera position on the 9 key, leading to issues. There's an easy way to unset it (which I can't remember right now) or you can just move the Folder VideoCameraStates in your doc folder to the desktop and then it should work again.EDIT
Update Patch 1.49.
- Camera Positions saved to the “9” key could conflict with using the “9” key to raise an object in the air when the bb.moveobjects cheat is turned on. To resolve this, we’ve introduced the ability to clear out a previously saved camera position.
- Existing Camera Position functionality:
- “Ctrl” + “5-9” will set a saved camera position.
- Once a camera position has been saved…
- “5-9” keys will smoothly move the camera to that position.
- “Shift” + “5-9” will immediately snap the camera to that position.
- New Camera Position functionality:
- “Alt” + “5-9” will remove a previously saved camera position from the selected number.
