Arrow keys --> slow scrolling speed

Post by Bobbes »

Hello everyone!

Since the patch v1.01.37 (i updated from v1.0) scrolling with the arrow keys on the keyboard is very slow. Without the patch, this scrolling is just fine (like in War in the East).
Although scrolling with the mouse works as it has to, only the arrow keys doesn't seem to work properly anymore.

Is there any fix, so i can move the map with the arrow keys again?

nope, works fine for me in win 10, on site and steam version, to alter speed to go fast move red arrow which makes the number smaller, to decrease the scroll use the eg slow down the scroll and arrow keys use the yellow arrow key direction, as shown, i use a quicker scroll using 2.00, which is quite rapid, as i find 1.00 far too quick for me and easy to miss units, where as 2.00 lets the game flow with keyboard and mouse use, or keyboard scrolling on it's own with screen edge scrolling

Fist time playing the game and noticed the same thing. I'm on version 1.01.65

Changing the scroll speed setting works for the mouse but the arrow keys stay really slow

This is one of the items fixed in the version we have now in test. Should be released within a few weeks as a public beta.

I'm assuming this never got fixed? I just bought the game and expansion and it's unplayable with that slow scroll speed. Even when set to 1.

Works fine for me. No slow scrolling either, everything is working just fine.

I have my scroll speed set to 4.00 and have no issues.

Thanks for the response. It turns out the auto-download from the matrix website is an earlier patch. You have to log in and go to the page to get the patch download too. Works fine now.
