Camera Glitch

[obsolete]

Not sure what happened. In the middle of a game the camera seems to have zoomed far too forward on its own, and there isn't a way to correct the problem.

If I pull back to zoom out, it does zoom out a little bit, but the screen still shows only a few tiles, despite clouds hover over them.

Not sure how to fix this, re-starting a new game continues with the camera problem, perhaps something got written over in an ini file?

Yup, go to Documents/My games/Beyond the Sword/CivilizationIV.ini ,open with notepad or other text editor. Find this:

; A non-zero value overrides the FIELD_OF_VIEW parameter from GlobalDefines.xml
FIELD_OF_VIEW = 0

And see if the value is 0.

You have 2 options in here:

- if the value is not zero, change it to 0

- if the value is not zero or if that did not work: try to equal it to 42 ( the default value in the quoted GlobalDefines file ).

If you are using BUG, or any of its descendants or mods incorporating it, then there is a field of view slider that can be visible in the upper right of the screen and also related stuff in the BUG options. You may have clicked on the slider, changing the field of view. If you can see the slider put it back to, or near, 42.
