Scrolling Speed and Arrow Key???

from GalCiv2 Forums
I finally got my game in the mail and I like it a lot. I have one issue though and that is the speed and lack of response of the edge scrolling of the main window.

I have the Scroll set to 100% and it is still very slow.

Also, pushing the mouse to the bottom of the screen does not move the screen many times. you have to move the mouse cursor up and then push the edge again a second time to make it work.

I would be happy if the Arrow keys moved the window around but they do not, nor can I see a way to reformat them so they will move the main game play window around.

This is by far for me the biggest issue with the game so far.

Is this a known problem? Stardock are you setting about to fix this?

Thank you for any help any of you might offer to help.

Yes, edge scrolling could be better and Arrow-keys scrolling would be nice. ( Ship movement should be numpad only)

For now I'm using left mouseclick and drag to move the map. Works much better.

Yes I know this, but you should not have to work around a problem such as moving your screen around. This is a game mechanic that is integral to the very playing of the game.

Please, Stardock you mind giving some insight on this issue, please?

Thank You

Is there a chance of getting any thoughts from SD on this if it will be looked at in the future?

It would be great to have it work consistently and smoothly and scroll faster than it currently does.

Thanks

Personally, I like the click-drag method so much now I don't care if they do anything for scrolling. My first reactions were like yours, but now I find click-drag faster and more precise than what scrolling would allow.

When scrolling, the map will move faster the more zoomed out you are, so you might try zooming out a bit, scroll, them zoom back in again.
