  • I am reporting this because it is so severely broken that it feels like a bug. I don’t know who suggested this new shoulder-view idea, but the shoulder-view camera has now become very difficult to use.

    In particular, previously, the camera would naturally zoom in even if the walls were turned on indoors, but now the camera doesn’t recognize the walls and clips through them and even the floor. As a result, I have to look at nothing but walls throughout the game and manually adjust it with the mouse scroll every single time.

    Now, the indoor shoulder-view has become a discarded feature, and if you really want to use it, you have to remove all the walls.

    I really wonder if this is a proper patch. Dissatisfaction with the shoulder-view has reached an extreme with this update. Please make sure to fix this.

How long are you going to leave this issue neglected? Please complete the foundation of the game.

While this kind of optimization method itself is whatever, please do not force this simple optimization approach on all users, including high-end PC users as well as low-end ones.

Even though the third-person view is severely broken, you still do not seem to have any will to improve it.

Currently within Korea, public opinion is extremely negative due to this issue, as well as the basic management and various other issues of the game.
While game content is obviously important, please build a solid foundation and substance for the game.

(Previously, a moderator moved this issue to the Wishlist, but this is indeed a bug-related issue, and from the perspective of a shoulder-view user, this is absolutely not correct behavior. Therefore, I am reposting this as a bug report. Again, this is not a wishlist issue, but 100% a flawed game system issue.)

Hi @sidechain6789 :blush:

Since your post covers the same issue with the New shoulder-view camera being completely broken, I’ve merged it into the existing thread so all related information stays together. Thank you! :heart:

Dude how’d you get your FPS to look that good and that crispy??

Thank you for your hard work. However, before any misunderstanding arises, I need to make one thing clear: this is another entirely separate issue.

My previous post was about how they removed the camera collision feature arbitrarily. They faced harsh criticism and ended up that feature rollback, but this current post of mine is pointing out their absurd, worst-of-all optimization method that automatically breaks buildings.

In conclusion, although both issues fall under the massive umbrella of the third-person view, they are completely different problems in themselves.

They are using third-person gameplay videos as their main Steam promotional material, but right now, the actual third-person view is so severely broken that it completely ruins the immersion of the game.

In Korea, the very country where inZOI was born, public opinion is currently extremely negative due to these issues. I truly hope that the developers will stop ignoring these basic gameplay problems and fix them properly.

If the posts were merged simply because they share the topic of the third-person view, I would understand.

Thank you for your hard work as always.
