Endless scrolling bug

16 votes

Was a bigger annoyance in the demo but have come across it in the early access briefly as well.
Directional keys lock, leaving you to endlessly scroll in one direction. The opposite key would only halt the scrolling, not stop it.
Managed to enable the mouse scroll function you have in settings (Thankyou!) Which seems to hold off the key scrolling and has allowed me to continue playing. I play on Mac

When your cursor goes accidentally on the second monitor while adjusting the floodgate, the cursor will "stick" on the regulator, which isn't always obvious and you flood your colony or lose alot of water.
I would suggest to change the regulator to a up and down scale, or add an option to deaktivate bordeless fullscreen (coudn't find that option?).

Using the keyboard keys (arrows, not wasd) to move around, suddenly the map kept moving until/beyond the edge. Didn't stop until I tabbed out of the game and then back in. (Had to do that a couple of times since it happened twice.)

Had the same issue first time I tried the game a couple of weeks ago.

Both times I had just started playing, if that matters.
And after I managed to make it stop, it never happened again during the whole session.

Also, a suggestion:
From playing Cities: Skylines I've gotten used to "edge scrolling", but nowadays I use two monitors (secondary to the right) which makes it quite difficult to use... especially when scrolling right.
I'd like to see the cursor "locked in" so it can't move outside the game unless you alt-tab out from it first. At least as an option.
(Didn't try edge scrolling this time, so maybe this has already been fixed...?)

Really would like to see the locked cursor myself. I use Primarylock when this is an issue but for whatever reason it keeps crashing with the game open, I've never had that happen before. So I get anywhere from 30 secs to 5 mins of edge scrolling before I have to alt+tab and restart the program to keep my cursor on screen. Just breaks the experience.

Can confirm this bug:
The map starts moving to one direction even the beyound the edge and it is not possible to stop this. Always have to restart the game. It mostly occurs when the speed of the game is set to maximum and I click around hectically ^^
