Workaround For Camera Auto-adjust For Controller Players On Legacy Controls

As many have said before, Legacy Camera on controller can be super annoying thanks to the inability to disable camera auto-adjust. The camera tries to move constantly and that way proper strafing is out of the question. On M/KB it works well when you press either mouse button, but on controller it doesn't. This constant adjusting also seems to give people motion sickness. Myself included.

I think this graphic from an earlier post shows the problem quite clearly. https://i.imgur.com/dyn069g.png



But I might have found a somewhat decent workaround to make legacy on controller behave as it does with M/KB. It does only work on PC though. Sorry console players :(

First you need some sort of controller rebinding tool. I use antimicro, but I've heard good things about rewasd and I've seen people use steam big picture to rebind their controllers. Whatever floats your boat. If you don't use any yet, just get antimicro. It's free and pretty easy to work with.

Next you'll have to create a profile and rebind the left analog stick's left and right movement to the right mouse button. The right MB works better than left MB as left MB can de-select your target.
And that's it actually. Now when you try and strafe with legacy controls, your character actually does strafe properly and the camera stays put. This has finally enabled me to use legacy on controller without getting motion sickness.

There are a few caveats though.

You'll need to remember to move your mouse cursor out of the way so you don't accidentally right click anything. I tend to use the top left corner for this. You'll also have to remember to start antimicro every time you wanna use this "fix". Yes, the cursor does flicker every time you stop moving left or right. But those are sadly the kinds of things you have to deal with with workarounds like this.

If you are working with two screens and move your char with your mouse outside of the game window, weird things might happen thanks to the right clicks so beware.



In any case, squex should definitely let us disable camera auto-adjust when using legacy controls. This setting is way too good for casters and healers as you can run away from mechanics and still cast spells without your character quickly turning back to your target and running into AoEs thanks to auto-face target.

I hope this can help a few of you make the game a bit more enjoyable for yourselves.
