Camera Cutting Bug

Post by AI_Unit »

Seems like BZ2 SP has a minor Cutscene bug. Would appreciate if it got fixed so I can continue my work with FE fixes. Every time I come to a cutscene, and try to skip it, it freezes the video and the game runs as normal. For example, in "Into the Fire" when I try to skip the Cutscene with schultz, it freezes the video and BANG, my Recycler dies...Any idea what might be causing this error? It's really getting in the way of my fixing.

The art of reporting a bug is quite straight forward. You need to describe it in detail, which version of bz2 you found it in, what operating system you are using and how someone else might reproduce it. Without these details it becomes a much more difficult task for anyone to fully understand what you are referring to. Others may not be seeing what you are seeing.

Well the sooner it gets fixed, the sooner I can go back to fixing FE. Sorry about the lack of detail, I realised that my post glitched

The bug is an engine issue, it cannot be fixed by modding. It is known to the 1.3 team.
Attempting to compensate for this by adjusting the camera speed values in mission code leads to unreliable results.

I know and that's why I'm enquiring about it, I don't want to fiddle with the camera speeds, it needs to be fixed..

It may be fixed? I'm told it is but I don't know for myself. As with all 1.3 changes that are not public they cannot be confirmed or denied as the final product may not reflect statements made during the private beta period.

If it has been fixed, it hasn't been released. FE 1.3 still has troubles with cutscene skipping. Sort of one of the main reasons I'm writing about it because I'm really trying my hardest to fix it but it's making my life difficult. Every time I hit the space bar, it freezes my video. Problem is, I think the FE cutscenes have also been slowed down.

yes, i adjusted them so they move at normal speed now and fixed the ones that don't allow you to exit them.
