Sensitivity Bug

While playing level 5, for an unknown reason the camera sensitivity was lowered and now I can't complete the level. Have tried getting new batteries on the mouse and restarting the game but it is still broke.

Hi there! That's unusual, no idea why just level 5 is giving people trouble... Did you download the game today?

[Edit] I think I might have found the problem. Making an update now.

I  just posted a fix, could you see if that works? Cheers!

Sorry for the late reply, but the issue has not been fixed.

The issue occurs on every level, it just activated at level 5 and yes, I got the game yesterday.  I got a notification that my mouse was low on batteries when it happened so it may have been that which triggered it, but I am uncertain. I have replaced the batteries, but the glitch is still active.

Hope this helps!

Hey again, still trying to figure this out. Did you know that there is a setting in the menu for mouse/camera sensitivity? If you set that does it immediately revert when you reach a new level?

If the mouse sensitivity was already set low in a previous playthrough then it would still be low, because that value is saved on your computer. But maybe if you set the sensitivity again and see if it still automatically adjusts?

Hey, where is the camera sensitivity located? I can't find it in the options menu. 

The glitch happened through my first playthrough, so it can't have been that.


Nvm, it's fixed. I just had to start a new game and it's now gone. Thanks for the help!

Ah, good! btw in case it goes wrong again, the camera sensitivity setting only appears in the levels not the main menu. Don't ask why, it's on the list of things to fix馃槄

Hi! I got this bug and managed to find out a workaround so maybe that helps tracking it down.
And I think maybe I have a way to reproduce it but tbh I didn't test it that much.
Here we go.
Possible repro steps:
1. Open Menu -> Settings -> Camera Sensitivity
2. Use the arrow keys or wasd to move it
3. Click on OK //It's important to really click, not use the keys now
4. Click on Back
5. Click on Continue
6. Press 'A', or the left arrow for a while
7. Try moving the camera around
Result: you'll see the camera slow

Workaround steps:
1. Open Menu -> Settings -> Camera Sensitivity
2. Set it back to a usable value
3. Press escape to close the Camera Sensitivity window
4. Exit the menu however you want
5. Press 'A', or the left arrow for a while
6. Try moving the camera around
Result: it works as expected :)

So yeah probably a listener for the Camera Sensitivity Slider.cs (guessing, the filename lol)  or sthg isn't being unbound on exit through the OK button.

Really really strange, it shouldn't be doing that at all, and I can't reproduce the problem with those steps! But still it does give me some clues, so thank you so so much for posting that info!

Based on that I've uploaded a new fix - fairly optimistic it should fix the problem...

Let me know if that works and if not I'll have another think :)

Thanks!

Sorry! I hadn't hit save on the page after uploading the new files. They should be there now :)

Thanks!
Sadly I actually tried to reproduce it on the old build before trying the new one and didn't manage to.
So we'll just have to wait until someone else steps on it if it's still there.
I didn't say but I'm playing on Linux and the issue happened for me at level 8 since I adjusted the setting to better face the duck.
