Title: View mode destroyed
Post by: sonshadowcat on February 01, 2005, 05:27:08 pm: I usually like hunting in 3rd person locked mode? With the camera directly behind you always.

Well, something happened and now the camera faces behind me or up above my character. I don\'t know what happened....does anyone know how to fix it? I don\'t like hunting in 1st person mode( next best thing, other modes are horrible).

otherwise press M to scroll through the view modes until you find one to your liking (this command was listed in the in-game help).

anyone else have more information?

You can also try pgup/pgdn to move camera up and down.

On a side note, I finally got a sword! yay.
