Random Camera relocation when walking around the map

waznboi100 commented 1 year ago

Description

I spam Arc Warden mostly, but I doubt this is hero related. This usually happens when im in a hurry to catch up to enemy and spam right clicking the map in small manageable movements. All of a sudden, mid fight or not, my screen will literally JUMP to another spot entirely. Its INSTANT, not dragged to that spot. My mouse is NOWHERE near the minimap + im not actually LEFT clicking which is what would be required to pinpoint my screen on another location. When this happens, I instantly double tap 1 to relocate my screen to my hero, but sometimes by then its TOO late. I watched a replay of said moment, and I can't determine anything from WHY my actual screen is moving.

9 years ago this thread I found is very similar if not identical. https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/21ejfs/can_we_talk_about_the_screen_randomly_moving/

I did some other research and the only answers I found didn't apply to my situation.

There was this option to relocate the minimap to last pinged location, etc, but I have no such camera hotkeys set.

Overall, I'd say this happens once out of 5-10 games or so.

Will update when i have a recent match where this occurs even though I can't figure out anything from said replays.

Could you be mistakenly clicking the minimap, happens to me a lot.

impossible for 2 reasons.
1) I keep my hero typically centered on the map and im making small movements while dragging my mouse in a certain direction (you know to navigate getting around the jungle etc) like chasing someone or running from something. 2) I'M ONLY right clicking. You need to left click the minimap in order for your camera to snap to that spot. there's no possibility I'm left clicking And being accidentally in the minimap area.

Its similar. But in all of your examples your cursor actually goes into the minimap area and ur in an engagement. This has happened to me while I've been running through the jungle and my cursor is nowhere near the minimap.

When it happens again ill save the replay and clip it. How did you take the small clips?

yeah as my mouse enter minimap, it grips it or something. you can make dota clips now. make sure it's < 25 mb the quality doesnt have to be high. or use default windows recorder while watching the replay

Here you go happened once today. Make sure you slow it down its a short clip. Im currently walking with my clone. I blink forward, but then my camera snaps to radiant fountain. It LOOKS like my cursor enters that area for a split second after the blink, but even so, I'm not left clicking cuz theres nothing to left click.

i guess you have similar problem to mine. i think in both of our situation we were spamming right clicks (and perhaps within a split second used left click once or twice to blink, use skills on target hero etc), then edgepan any direction that enters minimap? but edgepan accelerates + camera snap / grip as we right click e.g. to radiant / dire fountain as though we're holding left click? don't know what else cause camera grip other than left clicks.
