Camera distance: Too close again.

#1 - Feb. 14, 2017, 2:21 p.m.

It's back to the near nausea range, with limited view.
On live, with SET cameraDistanceMaxFactor "2.6" in config.wtf. I get a camera distance of 39, which is quite usable..
On PTR, the SET statement gets removed from config.wtf on startup, and the camera distance is only 28.5, which feels extremely restricted.

And, there's no camera distance slider in the settings. Is there a different way now to get the camera out to a tolerable distance?

Edit: I just tried running the Broken Shore scenario, but had to quit after phase 1, since feelings of dizziness and nausea were appearing..

Try
/console cameraDistanceMaxZoomFactor 2.6
in game. They changed the cvar to add the "zoom" in there at some point...for some reason.

Yep. Blue tagging this for awareness in case anyone else is encountering this issue.

For those curious, the reason the command changed (back in Warlords) was so that it could persist between sessions - meaning you don't have to run the console command every time you log in, or add it to your config.wtf. For some technical reasons, it was better to just create a new CVar than change the previous one.
