Hey All, I've seen a number of posts about the camera in the EAW Demo. Try this, I think it might help clear up some of the issues people are having:

How do I rotate the camera in the game?
Star Wars: Empire at War natively supports three button mice. To rotate the camera in Tactical Battles you can rotate the camera by holding down the Ctrl key on the keyboard and the Middle Mouse Button simultaneously. If you have a mouse with only two buttons, or experience any issues with this configuration, you can change the camera controls in the Game Options menu by clicking the Alternate Mouse Controls checkbox. This configuration will require you to hold down the Ctrl Key and the Right Mouse Button simultaneously to rotate the camera. You will not be able to rotate the camera in Galactic Mode.

that calmed down about 90% of the people

oh thanks rouge

That was stupid because in most games you just have to hold down the middle mouse button not ctrl plus the middle mouse button.

"you can change the camera controls in the Game Options menu by clicking the Alternate Mouse Controls checkbox"-

thankfully....

This was my only minor complaint about the demo, and I could have lived with it very easily.

I'm a difficult person to impress, particularly when it comes to Star Wars and other major franchise titles, but I say Bravo! A job well done.

I still can't rotate camera! I have a G5 mouse though, maybe thats why my middle mouse doesn't act right!

I'm Just woundering if you can turn the camra 360 degrees

For Logitech mouse, if you have installed the setpoint driver it won't work.

Before, you must open the setpoint window and change the function linked to your Middle button. You must assign the "generic button" function and now it will work. By doing the same thing with button 4-5, they will be available for a lot of game where they didn't worked before.


PS : I'm french and my english is not very good, so sorry if my explanation are not understandable.

Thank you!! Finally someone explained it for us Logitech guys!

also u can track induvidual object of the cinematic cam by pressing c nd if u press it again u can control the cinematic cam!

Is there a hotkey for pause? I know of the button but a hotkey?

No idea but i think it might be the P button .

i thought it wa the pause break button. if all fails just hit esc and it will pause and bring up the game menue. thats tecnicaly a hot key to pause.

raise the white hand

When I try to rotate the Camera, It forces me out of Cinematic mode. I messed with my mouse, Tried some other types I have and each time I go back to normal view. >.O
