Guild Wars 2

Is there an ETA on a fix for the camera position constantly resetting? It’s really annoying having to zoom out all the time.

Bump, have Anet confirmed they’re aware of this bug?

I’m not the original poster, but for me, it happens whenever the game tries to take control of my zoom (like at World Boss events). I like to play with my FoV as wide as possible (slider all the way to the right), and my zoom pulled back as far as it will go. But whenever I wander out of the “event zoom” areas, it always pushes my zoom back to mid-level zoom, so I have to zoom back out.

This can also occur even when the “event zoom” isn’t in effect, and seems to be attached to the fact that I use my right mouse button for steering my character. The camera zoom will get pushed closer to my character (because of collision with something), and won’t zoom back out until I release my mouse button… at which point it reverts to the unwanted “middle zoom” position again. This particular behavior is not consistently reproducible, but it’s happened to me enough over the last couple years that it has become a behavior I expect.

(Both of these behaviors have existed long before the most current camera feature update.)

Branden Gee.2150:

When you say camera position reseting, what are you talking about? Are you talking about the zoom level reseting, a particular setting resetting, the angle? What is the behavior that you are seeing?

Please provide a bit more information.

The zoom level resets, I will zoom out fully then notice the next day I’m back to default and have to zoom out again.

My issue seems opposite. I like my camera closer to the character, but it seems to end up farther out quite often.

I get this also, and have had this issue since launch.

I don’t play with the new settings but on Engi, I’ll zoom out as far as possible for grenades etc.

The camera will auto-zoom in when I have something like a wall behind me. when my alt has moved away from the wall/obstruction the camera stays zoomed in close to me forcing me to have to use the middle mouse to scroll back out; this is a hell of a pain in SW.

Can upload a vid at some point if it helps…once I figure out how to make a vid.

When I participate in the Tequalt event, the Camera reset happens at minimum 3 times.

Easily reproduced when running back to the Vigil Mega laser to defend. Once I get there I will cross over the center point to get to the mobs to the east. Camera SNAPS into some default zoom position and I have to zoom back out to see what I am doing. It can repeat easily by crossing over once again towards the west.

It is the most noticeable when the camera “auto zoom out” on the world boss fighting stage because it just slowly zooms out and snaps into default zoom. Where crossing over the vigil laser, I can “guess” maybe it has something to do with collision. but I moved that setting back and forth and this happens either way.

I don’t have videos or anything but if necessary I can take a series of screen shots as it is happening. However, if you just go fight Tequatl it will happen, I actually stop fighting him because the loot sucks, I do not need spoons, (never got a teq horde, when my wife got 2, 1 teq horde and 1 something else ascended, in a matter of 3 fights) and the camera is annoying.

and yes its zoom setting in my case.

Bump. Would love a fix.
