Re: [CURRENT ISSUE] Spinning Camera issues

Moving this post here and amending:

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem but my game spins out of control if I try to mouse click and move the camera! I've tried removing my cc mods and it didn't help. I've checked to see if it was a certain saved game..., it wasn't. I've checked to see if the problem occurred only in build mode..., it happens in live mode as well. Anyone have an answer or an idea to try? 

Amendment:

I know that I can roll back my windows 10 update but I soooo really don't want to go through that again.  So if anyone comes up with something in the next little while, I sure would appreciate it.

    Hi @SimieKins 

    I merged your post with existing thread .. it's all a bit inconclusive and I currently have no further suggestions than the ones you can find in this thread.

    @crinrict Update: I uninstalled then reinstalled the game and the sensitivity is normal again. Took all day, but well worth the time. Thank you for all the help! 🙂

    @Boo_101102 Another Update: I use Reshade (which I never thought would be a problem) but after I tested my game and saw that everything worked, I added back my reshade. When I got back into the game, I started up a new save and the problem was back. So I quickly uninstalled reshade (from the Sims, not my computer), loaded the game back up, and everything was fine. I'm no tech guru, so I can't think of why Reshade would cause the game to act like that. But if anyone is having this same problem and uses Reshade, consider taking it out for a while. Maybe it'll solve your problem. Just thought I should share my experience!

    EDIT (crin)

    If this doesn't help, try the following

    • Turn off Origin-In-Game in Origin
    • Change you mouse sensitivity settings (proven mostly not working)
    • Make sure you have no mod-conflict.

    @Boo_101102 I actually wondered if it was Reshade but I was hoping it wasn't. The game is so blahhh without it ;;

    I always notice that once Reshade and the game load up, the menu flashes through its animations about a bajillion times on super speed before going back to normal. I always figured this was a "catchup" of sorts because Reshade takes so long to load. So maybe it's something like that with the camera?

    I just am not sure how it would be broken now but not before.

    @failbender Did you try without and can you confirm the theory ?

    It's seems to be connected to the big Windows update (and one Mac :D)

    @crinrict Yes, after removing Reshade and repairing the game, both the CAS and live cameras have slowed down to their normal state. It's really a shame, since I'm so used to the vibrant colors ☹️

    The cameras were fine up until the *Sims* update, so I'm not sure what the recent *Windows* update would have done since that had already happened (at least for me) to no ill effect.

    also disappointed cos my game somehow took even LONGER to load than usual. presumably because I used the repair function, but yeesh!

    There's many, many reports this week over on the Sims community of Tumblr about problems with ReShade and the Win 10 1903 update that just came out. The only workaround I know of is to either uninstall ReShade or roll back the Windows update.

    I use ReShade, but I don't have this problem, because I'm on Win 10 Pro and block updates using the Group Policy Editor.

    ETA: Here's one post where folks are talking about it: https://pictureamoebae.tumblr.com/post/185653132064/heya-guys-im-having-problems-with-reshade-ive#notes.

    @crinrictyes I'm using reshade too. Crap, it's gonna suck having to take that away if that's really the issue ☹️ but I'll try it

    - update - me removing reshade did in fact make it all go back to normal

    Hopefully ReShade can patch this? It would help if we went to the reshade forums as well to try to get their attention about this. So far this one has the most responses:

    @crinrictYes, as a matter of fact, I am.

    I'm using ReShade 3.1.0.231

    I'm going to see if just turning it "off" in game will halt the issue. I wonder if this is happening with all recent ReShade versions - have you received enough information to tell?

    Thank you for all you do!

    UDPATE: Turning off the overlay while in game does NOT resolve the issue, lol.

    Thanks all for confirming. I'm moving this back to tech.

    As there seems three parties involved in this

    - ReShade
    - Windows Update
    - Sims 4

    I don't know who needs to fix this but for now, you'll either need to revert to before the Windows update or turn of ReShade.

    @crinrict https://reshade.me/forum/releases/5417-4-3?start=60

    pg 4, #74, user a1chera_ posted an update to their ts4 issue (I'm thinking spinning camera? Unfortunately, they don't state *specifically* that their issue was related to spinning camera

    This may be a solution to the issue - I'll need to update to 4.3 ReShade to see if this will resolve the issue for and allow me to continue to use ReShade.

    ...except, lol, thuraski doesn't have ReShade ☹️

    Also, when I originally installed the 3.1.0 version I did use DX9.

    @crinrict Ok, I have removed Reshade and repaired my game...went in and..., it didn't make any difference.  I'm still spinning way to fast when I try holding down the scroll and moving.  I'll roll back this afternoon..., no time now. I'll let you know if that works when I get it done. I'll check here again before recovery to see if a new solution has come up.

    @crinrict Yes, I do have reshade. I would test without reshade, but I already uninstalled 1903. ☹️

    Hi there, 

    I'm on a macbook air. Not sure if reshade exists? Can someone confirm for me? I'm a noob with computers.

    @Kataxenna What Windows version are you at ? Are you not using ReShade at all (aka not installed) or just not for Sims 4 ?
