View Full Version : Scrolling over Mountains - not fluent

If u are scrolling (keyboard and mouse, doesn´t matter), the scrollspeed is sometimes faster, sometimes slower, depending on the landscape.

Any kinds of mountains and walls slow your scrollspeed down significantly. So scrolling from one side of the map to the other side is like stop, go, stop, go, stop, go, stop, go, which is quiet annoying! Furthermore i dont see the point in slowing down the scrollspeed. Slowing down Unitspeed is okay, if they are walking about hills, etc. but not the scrollspeed.

This isnt caused by my Computer (bad performance,....).

It dont seem to be a bug to me, so i post it here, hope its the right forum.

edit: This occurs only if 3D-Cam is set to off. If its on, its seems like it works correct.

Besides, he sets the scrollspeed back to normal after every game. Not appreciated, if you want it to be high.

Please change the way scrolling works to a more fluent way. First it will be faster to get from one side of the map to the other side and second you won´t get sick in front of your Computer:-)

This has been reported a couple of times.

I think it *might* have something to do with the game tracking the speed of a point over the terrain, but when that point moves up a hillside, the horizontal movement speed changes...

Sorry, didnt know that it was already reported:-(
(My excuse-> Hope search-function will came back soon:) )

Thanks for the quick answer (Someone from Blizzard around?? This is a good example, how it should be :D ). Will it be "fixed"?
