Mouse view way too fast in 1.7

[raspinall]

Ever since the patch, holding down the right mouse button to rotate the view around (in order to see things) is way too quick and very jerky. Anyone else having this problem? I don't see a scroll rate option anywhere.

I always had this problem too and I'm interested in a solution too. Change my mouse setup in the system control panel has the unpleasant effect to make other mouse movements too slow then.

Same here. Way too fast now, as of Friday 10 July 2009. I had no troubles with the rotation speed prior to then.

(Note: Steam user. And auto update is apparently enabled.)

Here's the fix.

Close the game. This fix won't stick if the game is open when you make the change.

Find the GAME.INI file located in the My Documents\My Games\King's Bounty folder (assumes WinXP -- not sure where it would be in Vista).

Save a copy of this file.

Open the file with a text editor (NOTEPAD.EXE).

Change this line:
setf ~map_camera_sens 1.000000

To this:
setf ~map_camera_sens 0.250000

Save. Close. Launch game. Enjoy.

I had to lower this value all the way down to 0.25 before the rotation speed felt right. You can tailor it to your liking, though.

Indeed, this game.ini file overwrites the one in the steam folder which contains the default values.

The default value for map_camera_sens is 0.1

Thanks for the tip, it works fine, it's weird I didn't found this when I quickly browse this ini.

What's the purpose of map_camera_dist_sens?
