Ok, so for a while I’ve had issues with the camera jolting back and forth when I walk up narrow stairwells (halloween mystic forge) or vineyard fields or even the rows of chairs in the BLTC in LA.
I’ve put out my concerns in the technical support subforum, but they were no help, and never once replied. (my initial post was forwarded there). So I read up on what potential issues may be. It wasn’t resolution, I play at a fairly common 1680 × 1080. Now, apparently the FoV changes made last year fixed some camera smoothing issue but I know a fair few people who still have this problem, me included.
The issue actually stems from camera offset. You know, that one option in the F11 options interface? You can tilt your camera slightly to the left or right such that when completely zoomed in you have this, for lack of a better term – gears of war over the shoulder perspective.
So I tried readjusting the camera to the center yesterday. Its all good now. I think the old FoV’s camera smoothing moves a bit slower, so I still prefer that one, but it doesn’t jolt back and forth anymore.
Ok, so maybe no one cares, but if Arenanet added the option of offsetting the camera, I’d also like them to fix it so that its actually playable. So please, for those of us who like playing with the camera offset – please fix the camera smoothing for those views too.
