Camera issue after resuming a saved game

GrandmasterYoda · 07-19-2011, 09:10 AM

So, here's the details.

I was playing a cluster map vs 4 ai.
Had a power cut (yaaaaaaaay)
resumed the game from a save file, and now if I try to scroll anywhere with the mouse, it moves to the middle of the map. (nothing is at the middle of the map)

Its also making it very hard to zoom in on systems on the very edge of the map.
Currently to get a view of anywhere, I have to zoom in with the mouse wheel, else the camera gets shifted to the middle of the map.
suggestions? :\

Press one of the arrow keys to break the camera away from whatever it is following. It sounds like whatever object it is trying to follow is no longer valid, but can't be deleted because the camera is still trying to follow it.

That worked.
Thanks

Oh here's one that'll bug you

Once i've made a ring world, I'm having huge problems getting my jump ships to jump to the star. The ring world seems to be ontop of the star in terms of right clicking, so I cant select it.
Suggestions?

That's a known issue with ringworlds. You should be able to use the minimap to select the star, then you can pin it to access it more easily.
