[BUG] Strange Camera Glitch During Intro Sequence

[thelordcaptain]

Hey guys.

 

So I have searched around some. Didn't find any answer to this issue, so it's seemingly time to post.

 

Before I begin -- I'm only partially through STEP right now. I discovered this issue whilst attempting to benchmark between 2.F & 2.G. There is a possibility that I introduced this after installing 2.F, but it's also possible that I just forgot to benchmark at that point. Also, I'm using "Mod Organizer" and LOOT to install STEP with.

 

When the intro sequence loads, I find my viewpoint to be staring at the horse that's pulling the carriage my character should spawn in. If I rotate the view, I can see the underside of the aforementioned cart. Obviously, this is something of a problem.

 

Please let me know if you have any suggestions, or need any additional data. And thank you in advance.

[Kelmych]

I don't have any of the problems that thelordcaprain has, but I've always felt that my character's eye height was too low. With a normal height character I feel like I'm always looking at the botton of the neck or even lower on NPCs.

[thelordcaptain]

I can confirm that, under a vanilla MO profile, I have none of the camera glitches and the entire sequence -- and moving to the tower after -- works 100% as expected.

 

 

INIs.... I can't see a "spoiler" tag option in the post editor, or when searching the help files. As such, I have to ask you to please specify. I apologize, new here and so forth.

[Nebulous112]

One of the icons, I think third from the left at the top, IIRC, has a bunch of options for formatting. One of them is "spoiler". On mobile at the moment.

 

You can also use

[spoiler]text[/spoiler]

[Kelmych]

You need to hit the green/white "Special BBcode" icon, third from the left on the menu bar. Click it and select Spoiler.

[thelordcaptain]

OK. INI's c&p'd from MO's INI Editor.

Were those changes made to the default unedited INIs created by Skyrim, because there seem to be a few discrepancies in them compared to mine?

[thelordcaptain]

I would assume so. For the most part I have not touched the INI files except for explicit STEP instructions.

 

Which ones, specifically, were you thinking of?

[thelordcaptain]

Is there something in the INIs I can tweak to fix the massive vertical swings of the camera while moving, or the height issue?

[Rebel47]

Maybe unrelated to your issue but have you tried using spINI, DoubleYou has made the app for clearing out the useless settings inside the ini files, run the app outside of Mod Organizer as a separate process, with the edits and changes made during that process perhaps see if that has any effect on your ini files configuration and the problems which are present in your game

 

Forum page and further info

Edited February 4, 2016 by Rebel47

[thelordcaptain]

I downloaded and ran spINI. I see no change, but I do have a little more data about the wild camera movement.

 

If I hold down my forward movement key, it'll swing wildly and then, if I keep moving forward, settle to normal behaviour, until the next time I remove my finger and press again. Backward movement is the same.

[thelordcaptain]

Any suggestions?

[TechAngel85]

No, I honestly don't. I've never seen this problem before.

[thelordcaptain]

Well, I appreciate the honesty. Still, I'd really like to play the game. :P

Is there anything I can do to provide further information? A video showing the issue -- would that be at all of help?

[GrantSP]

The INIs created from spINI, did you move those into the folder matching the current active profile? Since I can't think of anything other than a rogue INI setting (assuming you have installed just the mods in STEP) there really isn't anything else it might be.

 

Remember MO does not use the INIs in the "My Documents".

[TechAngel85]

Bad driver for the keyboard, but I assume it's working fine elsewhere. So that might be a bad video driver, unless it too is working fine in other games. That only leave the game itself. Verify your Steam cache, if your bandwidth isn't an issue.
