Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Since buying this game, every 15 minutes to every hour or so the camera just starts scrolling in one direction. This makes the game literally unplayable as you can only keep the camera still at the very edge of the map. I have checked the forums back as far as 2019 and tried all the advice given to players experiencing the same unresolved bug. The suggested solutions all assumed it was a problem with the player's system, so just to clarify, Surviving Mars is the only game giving me issues like this, I do not have mods installed, I do not have a controller or joystick plugged in that I am sitting on, rebooting my computer every 15 minutes to an hour is not a bug fix, and it is not a patch-specific bug. I experienced this bug when I first bought this game last year, and I hoped with the recent sale and DLC drop that the bug may have been fixed. Unfortunately, my map started scrolling before I could land my first rocket.
The only time I have fixed the camera scrolling was by enabling and disabling free camera mode, which I still think might be related to the root problem. Unfortunately, I can't replicate that fix. The last time I tried, the free camera button did not work. The button was not greyed out, and made the sound/animation for getting clicked, but nothing actually happened when I clicked it (like normally it toggles between "on" and "off," and it would just stay as "off". If I spam clicked, I could enable free camera mode, but disabling free camera mode starts the screen scrolling again.
I just purchased the DLC for Surviving Mars because I forgot about this game-breaking bug. I otherwise love the gameplay for Surviving Mars, and would really appreciate a fix, or some direction towards a setting I can change to disable the in-game camera or whatever is causing this screen scrolling bug.
Can you replicate the issue?
2 games ago it happened about 1 hour into the game. This morning I tried a new colony and it happened before I could place my first rocket. I do not know the exact cause, or if some hidden keyboard shortcut makes the game think its in free cam mode when it isn't, but I cannot play the game normally for more than about an hour without somehow triggering it.
I can try another colony to save as soon as the camera gets stuck scrolling to submit. The only document I have for attachment is an accidental screenshot I took while trying to fix the bug (I hit F12). As you can see, I haven't even had a chance to land my first rocket, so it must has something to do with the camera navigation.
