Zoom acting up after being hit!!!

[Behemot]

This crap is already driving me crazy for YEARS, it MUST be some mod, or combination of mods, acting up! Looking through sniper-mode foresight in ×2 zoom, getting hit regularly makes it screw up, I still see SEE ×2 magnification, but sensitivity increases heavily like it switches to ×24-28 magnification by ITSELF (that's fucking insane!), and as soon as I scrool whichever way, even OUT, with da wheel, also graphics finally follows and jumps to HIGHER magnification by itself! So I scroll out which should jump from ×2 to third-person view, and instead it magnifies even more!! Have to push SHIFT twice so it exits and enters decent zoom again. I believe this does not happen if I already am at magnification higher than, the one, which it acts at. So very likely some kind of DEFAULT setting is somewere.

 

You can imagine how screwed up this is, need to fucking move the aim if target is moving, and all of sudden I'm moving by MILIMETERS. Anybody else has experience with this?

 

Things are somewhat better after selecting default magnification in the CLIENT itself to ×2, previously when entering sniper mod, it was BY ITSELF zoomed to ×16 or something like that. I think the same thing acts up. One of the mods I have is maximum zoom, something like ×40 or the highest there is. Isn't that thing set up by itself to some crazy stupid default magnification??

 

I'm always running latest version of the modpack, and always clean installation. Behaviour repeatedly observed on different rigs with mostly the same mods installed, so I am strongly sure it is something within this modpack.

Attach logs, see my signature link. Attach replay, link to some video where we can see how it's acting up.

[Behemot]

OK, just did update of both game and modpack, checked integrity, gonna play a game and hopefully reproduce that.

[Behemot]

here it happened several times in a row, by the end of the fight, rendered the tank totaly useless, you can see I had to constantly scroll or exit/enter sniper mode, got screwed up in matter of seconds hitting pretty much nothing; it's especially clear as the M4 was reversing backwards and I've tried following to no avail as it virtually switched to some insane magnification

 

archiver never ever workd for me, here's it per file

What if you remove Dispersion Indicator (Ukazatel rozptylu) mod?

[Behemot]

I've uninstalled everything and reinstalled without the maximum zoom mod (that works by default anyways, could just tick 60× zoom in client settings) and so far seemed OK in couple battles, but could remove that DI too. I wonder what it does anyways, there's no preview :D

[Aslain]

I asked to remove Dispersion Indicator only for now , if you remove more mods you will never know what mod is causing it (if it's a mod anyway). 🙂

 

It has preview: 

 

Attach video too, I would like to see it on your pc.

[Behemot]

oh yeah, right, just don't get what it does from the image

 

replay did not show it? not sure if the rig is even capable of taking a video, from what I remember, high-res 30FPS video used to have large impact on framerate of the game, this is just C2Q with R7 265

 

it's some mod all right, with the pack uninstalled completely, I've played a dozen battles, experience was smooth the whole time

I noticed you have installed the high scroll sensitibity in arcade view, maybe try to lower it? because of that the small scroll with make the zoom super fast.

 

The high view from above the tank is also game feature, check the game options for it. (Commander camera and whatnots).

 

It all makes me thinking that it's not a bug, but the combination of mods and game options you have selected.

[Behemot]

I've noticed no problem whatsoever in arcade view in several few thousand battles, not even sure there is anything regarding scrolling? What exactly do you mean?

[Aslain]

[Behemot]

doesn't that only affect artillery? don't think that does anything at all, maybe old mod which has been superseded by client upgrades, too? guess I can remove it as well

[Aslain]

Well try without it, without scroll sensitivity in arcade view mod.

[Behemot]

I'll play some more to see if it behaves OK now, only managed really a handful of games. If it does, very likely one of the two mods, if not, I'll remove this one as well :) gonna be in touch, have to take a nap now. Thanks for now.

[Behemot]

so far so good, although I DO miss higher-than-25x magnification, gonna try some of those mods to see, which one will work

[Behemot]

it's those zoom mods, confirmed

 

installed ×50, started again, no that bad, but still

[Aslain]

I cannot help you more, I see no bugs here.

[Behemot]

orly? my understanding is the zoom mod is only-to-unlock-certain-zoom-values, and it is upon me to manually zoom in or out as I want

 

don't expect that thing crapping unexpectedly, jumping to zoom/movement sensitivity without me touching anything!!

[Aslain]

PMOD is very popular mod to set zooms, nobody complained just you. I cannot even reproduce it, and nothing in logs too. So 🙂

[Behemot]

that replay could not be messed with? I'd expect that to be text log of all the gaming actions, which the client than just crunches and draws
