Hi
[have the latest patch but my opponent played with an older Version]
its the 2nd time that this problem occurs.
I start the Supersheep and wanna fly it through the map, but the map dont goes with the sheep. the map just stays in the position where the map were in the moment i started the ss.
Is there a problem with my own configuration or is it a know issue?
In the replay everything looks fine, but online this is pure horror.
best regards

Assuming I understood you correctly - perhaps you turned on Home lock (Ctrl+Home)?

what you mean with "home"?
i just know the Ctrl+LeftMouse-Trick for override game-Movement.
but i didnt pressed LMK.
Its always possible to press CTRL without knowing (maybe locked or something like this) ...but CTRL+Cursorkeys shouldnt lock, should them? it was possible to manouvre the Sheep without problems...just the Map dont comes with the Sheep.
[update]
i ve tested pressing Ctrl and Keys.....
if Ctrl is pressed, Cursorkeys will be ignored. So Ctrl wasnt pressed.

Inadvertently hit scroll lock perhaps?

what you mean with "home"?The button may be labelled differently in your language.

it happened again. i tested to press again Pos1/Home-Key during the flight but didnt helped.
In my mind there is something wrong.
did someone knows if there a side-problem with keys in side play with other programmes like ICQ in the background?
Cos i ve seen that ive got a Message during the game.
[But all in all, i have still massive problem with w:a under win7-64bit]
Maybe you can see what happend in the moment as the ss flyed of me. But i dont think it is in the replay.
Can there be i side problem with shift+Pause? Because i remember that some turns before i started the sheep i pressed shift+pause.
2nd thing which i have seen, is that the game minimized ingame without any reason...maybe there went something wrong?

Some of the things that could lock the camera:
1) Holding down the Home button
2) Enabling Home-Lock (pressing Ctrl+Home)
3) Enabling Scroll Lock (the button near the Pause button)
4) Holding down the left mouse button

Scroll Lock can be possible....i will check it next time if it happens.

Home Lock is not toggled by the same key. Ctrl+Home enables it and the Alt+Home disables it. Try Alt+Home to disable it.
I'm not sure if this behavior was intended. I find it strange, myself.

^same here, but I use shift+Home. Equally strange.

Doesn't Home alone (lol) disable home lock?

Sometimes, I have this too, when I try to join or host a game, it minimizes itself without any reason right at the loading stage, and maximizing crashes it. I have to use the Disable desktop composition option for WA.exe. When I asked CyberShadow, he only answered me about some program which would "steal" the focus and I found it - explorer.exe. But why, and what makes it minimizing it?
btw: the Shift+Home doesn't work here.

Prgrams which add additional context menu options when right clicking files in Windows Explorer or add new functionality etc. can cause such problems.
