Running around in Bismark's room!

[Heerlo]

Yesterday I was playing Civ5 and my brother wanted to go crazy hitting buttons on the keyboard(He does that sometimes, just playing around).So I saved it so he could do it.He somehow ended the turn and Bismark came up to me, wanting me to go to war with Gandhi.But somehow my brother did something(by accident) that made it where I could use a freecam to move around Bismark's room!It was quite weird.I could go behind Bismark with the freecam, and when I looked back at him it was just white in front of him, and it was white around his office.I don't understand how my brother did that.Has this ever happened before?Here's some pictures of it.

I could only put two pictures on here, but I put all of the pictures of it on Steam.

Wow awesome, thanks for sharing this with us xD

Interesting. Does that mean we can go check out Isabella's and Lizzy's behind?

You staring at my lady?

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

I don't know how to do it myself.My brother just did it by accident.

Which of the two?

Btw, it would be great if we could find out how to reproduce said effect.

Weird that he got Bismarck to be friendly... Nice find anyway.

 

[Helmling]

Yeah, we've got to figure this out.

Somebody figure this out, can't wait to spend my encounters with Cathy as a close-up of some grade-A hooters.

 

[spicytimothy]

This is quite unexpected! Nice accidental find!

 

[Heerlo]

Thanks to all for your comments.

Ressurection hi-5!

Seriously though, let's brainstorm.
Perhaps the random smashing opened a dev or debug console? Is there even such a thing as far as we know yet? If so we can assume that it (or at least this function) is activated from there with a 1 or 2 key combination.

From the OP it sounds like during you little bro's smashing he hit the enter button, upon which he continued going crazy on the keyboard I assume? The inbetween turns are by far the most intensive part of the game going by the rather severe lag you get lategame, the CPU is heavily taxed, implying a bug (altough a very damn specific one), have you had previous issues with your CPU? What model do you have?

 

[Heerlo]

I don't know if there is a debug console or not.

That was late in the game, and the turns were probably taking a pretty long time then, but I've never had anything like that happen before that I can remember.

My CPU is an AMD Phenom 2 940 Quad Core(I think).

My bro might have made something go out of the game and then back in and caused a glitch or something.

I don't know.

My bro is actually older than me.We're both nuts.

Neat. I never understood why they kept the camera fixed during the diplo meets. Woulda been neat if the angle changed from time to time or maybe even let you look around the room a bit with the mouse. Woulda given you the feeling of being face to face with them.

I'm pretty sure, that while you can PHYSICALLY move, Bismarck's actually sways side to side when you see him, it's subtle, but I noticed the camera moving.

And not counting the others, Elizabeth's close up (first time meet) and Isabella's zoom)

Speaking of Isabella, thanks to poor programming, I know for a fact her behind is layered. because on lower quality than the highest in Diplo Screen settings it's all blurry and disgusting, and I cold see that it's layered seperately.
