    Default Camera Settings

    Ever since I reinstalled RTW a few days ago, the camera has been screwed up.

    When I move my mouse forward while pressing the up arrow, it moves the same speed as if I just pressed the up key, this is not what I want. I want the camera to move faster while I do both.
    When I move my mouse backwards while pressing the down arrow, it moves the same speed as if I just pressed the down key, this is not what I want. I want the camera to move faster while I do both.
    When I move my mouse to the left it rotates the camera, which is what I want.
    When I move my mouse to the left while holding down the left arrow, it does the same as above, I want it to rotate faster.
    When I move my mouse to the right it rotates the camera, which is what I want.
    When I move my mouse to the right while holding the right arrow, it does the same as above, I want it to rotate faster.
    When I move my mouse to the right while holding the left arrow, it pans the camera left, I want it to pan left, and rotate right.
    When I move my mouse to the left while holding the right arrow, it pans the camera right. I want it to pan right, and rotate left.

    And how do I fix all the other camera issues above?

    Turning off restrict camera should solve the far away camera thing.

    For some reason, I can't delete messages, why is that? On my screen, it tells me I posted two of the same messages, and when I tried to delete one, I couldn't, there wasn't an option for it.

    MOve the mouse to the top and hold shift and/or hold the up button to make it move faster. Or just increase the speed in the game optons menu.

    Damn, you have a lot of questions (no offense, usually thats good)

    I've been trying for hours on end to fix this problem. When I go to Total War style camera, when I press left or right arrow, ir pans right or left accordingly, that's what I want. However, with Total War style camera, when I double click on the ground, it changes the camera angle, instead of jumping to that spot. And I can't change that key setting on options. When I go to RTS camera, I can double click on the ground and it jumps to that spot, but I when I press right or left arrow, it rotates right or left, instead of panning right or left. General Camera does the same.

    In the camera options menu, I have only the option for Total War style camera, and First Person style camera, both of which don't work because of the double click on the ground thing, which I can't change. And since I can't choose General Camera, or RTS style camera in the camera options menu, I can't change the problems it seems. I don't know what I did to make this all happen, but the fact is that it is there, and as far as I can see, it can't be fixed.

    So with very much regret, I have decided not to play RTW anymore... I just can't live with that camera. This was my favourite game I have ever played, and always will be. I just find it sad that I have to leave because of the camera. I will check this thread every day, and see if someone offers a solution. Farewell...

    I figured it out, I uninstalled RTW for the third time just now, and then I thought that maybe it was the mod I installed earlier last week. Sure enough, the mod probably screwed up my camera settings, so I uninstalled the mod, reinstalled RTW, and it works fine now. Thank you everybody who tried to help, I'm glad I can play again.
