Island Sanctuary: Camera auto-adjust is making me nauseous

[not_ya_wify]

So, out of the many things that could be improved on island sanctuary (like that awful island UI that is not usable by Controller players) I think one thing that really needs to be fixed is a setting to turn off camera auto-adjust.

Everytime I select a gathering node, the camera swings around my character into a different position for absolutely no reason. This has always been a nuisance in the game but so far it's never made me nauseous.

However, because island sanctuary has those annoying 1-item gathering nodes, now the camera just constantly flips around when you gather from closely situated nodes. The constant camera spinning is making me nauseous.

I looked up online how to turn this off and it turns out that a lot of people using controllers have been looking and asking for the ability to turn this feature off and it doesn't exist.

Please please PLEASE give PlayStation players an option to turn off camera-auto adjust in legacy mode. There is no reason why that should be there in the first place and it only causes problems. At least give us the option to toggle it off.

Character config, all the way on the bottom in the first tab. Turn it off. It's there on PC, don't see why it wouldn't be there on playstation.

oof, yea, on PC that was the first thing I turned off, it was brutal. +1 to this suggestion

I agree it's annoying. Fortunately for me I'm rank 10 now and don't have to spend much time there anymore. Maintenance mode ftw.

Thanks for this. It's one of those things that has always annoyed me and I had no idea you could turn it off. So much better now.

Wait is that seriously not there on playstation? That'd be a very jarring design choice.

I had the same problem. I don't want the setting off because I like the camera pan when looking at certain items or NPCs. But when gathering on the island it is violent and nauseating.

I'm also level 10 but I want to earn cowries to get buy the mounts. So, I set up the workshop scheduled for a week in advance but I needed like 60 cotton boll and I had 4

So, I'm checking on my PS5 right now and the option is not there. The bottom-most option is "Look at target when speaking" but this just turns your character toward the selected target (I assume). This shouldn't turn the camera at the target. Unless the 2 are connected which would suck because I do want my character to face NPCs while talking to them. I just don't want the camera to willy nilly do random things it wants.

I will try it out though.

I will also try to turn off "Enable camera effects when initiating actions" to see if that might help.

That is the option you want. It prevents the game from forcing the camera to whatever you want to interact with.

Ok I take back what I said. "Look at target when speaking" does stop camera auto-adjustment when you hit a gathering node and your character still turns to NPCs when speaking to the. So thanks for the info. I do think that option is very confusingly labeled though
