Scourge of War Boards

I have the camera distance from player set to 10 in both MP options and the main options. The section in the ini file is as follows:

[Custom]
ailvl=0
moralelvl=0
regstrength=100
plyrradius=10
courierlvl=3
minimap=3
MPplyrradius=10
MPcourierlvl=3
MPminimap=3

But when I start games I never have any camera restrictions.

So in the game options, you check the custom options button, set the camera to 10, and the camera still moves?

Yes, exactly that.

In SP, MP or both? And you are the host in MP right?

I hadn't played SP yet. I just tried both SP and MP again with these same settings.

It worked in SP (camera was restricted), but in MP it did not. I was the host in the MP game, there were no other players.

And you did check the custom difficulty option in the MP options as well?

Which game type? Scenario or sandbox?

Yes I did check custom difficult in the MP options. It is sandbox mode, I haven't tried scenarios.

Did you have realism checked? I think that overrides the camera settings.

I did. Can't test it at the moment but that was probably it then.

Anyone know what the realism setting does exactly? The manual doesn't say anythign concrete about it.

I don't remember the details, but basically it changes the settings based on your rank. The goal is to limit the visibility of the lower level commanders to make the depend on the higher level for strategic orders.
