Re: 9 key to raise objects spins camera out of control

@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.

    @crinrict I know this is a bit of necro posting, but just had to say thanks. I've been struggling with the key 9 and the camera recentring since the last patch and have googled and tried to find a solution, but they have all been temporarily fixes and once the game was restarted or I changed hood the issue was back. I haven't been playing much since EA killed the Gallery though, so haven't reported it, because it's a struggle for us builders, but decided to continue on a project this weekend. Deleting the whole VideoCameraStates folder fixed this most annoying bug/feature. Huge thanks. Hope someone else with this annoyance sees this and get helped as well. <3
