I can't rotate game view. Using trackball.

March 2, 2008 2:28 PM from

I hold down the scroll wheel button and move the trackball but the screen view does not rotate. Is the game incompatable with trackballs? Or is there a setting that needs to be changed in order to rotate with a trackball?

Thanks.

What function is the wheel button set to in the tackball software?

I had it set to universal scroll. I tried switching it to autoscroll, to no avail.

Try setting it to 'Generic Button'.

I didn't have a generic button option but I do have an unassigned option. I tried that, but it didn't work.

Thanks for the quick replies by the way!

Has anyone else using a trackball had this problem?

I fixed it by setting the scroll wheel to "middle button".

That must be the same as my 'Generic' option.
Glad you got it working.
