Bug, Mouse wheel Zoom not responding

35 votes

Mouse wheel Zoom not responding. Page up and down work for zooming. I think the most recent action I took in the game was placing a 3rd district building, in an inaccessible area, very close to another district. The camera is unlocked. It's cycle 5, day 2, I have 43 beavers.

Same issue, but in addition the space button also stops working at the same time. Pressing windows key to get to desktop then coming back fixes it.

Sometimes when I load in my WASD and mouse wheel stop working with the game, it's usually fixed with a quick reload of the level but it's a little annoy to unload and reload worlds, especially when they get to be bigger.

I can confirm it happens sometimes on Linux, also a number of elements randomly gets unresponsive. For me it seem to fix sometimes by alt-tabbing and clicking other windows.

Same here.
The game statered after that the LMB and mouse wheel scroling stoped working, all else was working normaly.
I closed the game forcefuly, had to restart pc to be able to load last autosave. Loading was crashing before restart.

I was going to blame it on Steam, since it seemed to happen after I used shift+tab to open the overlay and check a guide, but it sounds like it might be more widespread than that. The only way to fix it seems to be completely shutting down the game and starting again.

I ran into this, too. What I was doing:
Had a rooftop terrace selected. There was one beaver in the terrace . I clicked on the beaver's portrait just as the beaver left the terrace. It selected the beaver (the model was highlighted blue), but the beaver info pane did not appear. After that I could not click on anything, zoom would not work. Game continued, I could could hit esc for the menu, but no mouse cursor visible in the menu. I tried alt-tab and returning, but did not work. Had to alt-F4.

Jake your case could be a separate bug. Some inputs becoming unresponsive sometimes caused by problems with Unity (game engine) itself, and probably have to be fixed by Unity devs. This one might be a game one though, I've seen at least one similar report.

I only got the problem with the mouse weel but not the one with w,a,s,d not working.And I wanted to say that it is an anoying bug if you experience it and I hope the devs try to fix it. Worst thing is that I got no idea what trigered this bug to happen cause it didn't fix after a total restart of the game and laptop.

Happened to me today, scroll wheel stopped zooming the camera upon launching the game and instead would scroll through the layers UI widget in the top right of the screen. UI focus issue, perhaps? PgUp/PgDown still correctly zoomed the camera in this state. Alt-tabbing appeared to fix it for me (Win 10).

I used the steam UI to talk to a friend. And the zoom function broke on me. It's not a problem. Just letting you guys know.

It still happens on W10. After re-loading I couldn't zoom with scroll. After alt-tabbing everything went back to normal.

Lost ability to zoom with mouse wheel after loading a saved game. Clicked on "bug" button and brought me here. In windows, I "alt/tab'd" back to the game and it was working.

alt/tabbing confirmed to fix.

I can confirm that the Alt/Tabbing does fix this issue. I have had this bug several times in the last week and every time this fix worked like a charm.

Happened to me after loading a saved game, mouse wheel no longer controlled the zoom however pg up/down still worked correctly.

It was marked as done ("closed") because it was lacking description and person didn't respond.

cannot use scoll-wheel to zoom

Try hitting [alt], apparently it's bug with engine itself.

Pedro Merged
Same here. Scrolling just changes the layers but no zoom

Jcheung Admin Merged
tap alt a few times if your layers are going up and down
15 Jun, '23
Gin Fuyou Admin Merged
That is apparently bug with game engine, hitting [alt] usually fixes that.
