Camera Angles

[Drinor]

Played on live in 3rd person. Have been playing on emu in 3rd person. Got to SoD and couldn't stand the 3rd person camera angle.

This is the SoD angle:

This is more what it should be:

It's a big difference to me. Can't see where I'm going with the SoD angle and alt + page up messes up the camera more than it's worth. Is there a way to move where the camera is bound to your character?

That's all client controlled. Nothing to do with the server, as far as I know. You realize you can change your camera angle using your mouse, right?

Emu works fine in regards to the camera. It's only SoD where I feel like I'm playing on 1/3 of the screen, which, to me, says it's something they changed with the custom client. Maybe it was like that on live for a short time, I don't think so though...

Moving the camera around/in/out doesn't help much. The only way I can get it to where I like it is alt + page up, which then makes moving the camera around/in/out a pain because it's not bound to my char.

Try going into first person and then mousewheeling back out into 3rd.

I do that and it works for me. Video card issues with this old client makes first person impossible for me

That's what I do as well, helps 95% of my Nvidea problem. scroll back in when "Peeping" not too horrible.

We don't have a custom client here. We don't and can't touch the client at all. Any client you have here was or is used on live at one point.

It is possible that live uses a newer client (or the emu you play) that has the ability to zoom out farther.
