Hello, I'm new to  :ff: and also this forum.  I'm having trouble with one particular feature under Windows 10: I can't get camera rotation to work.  I've tried compatibility modes (Win 98/Me, XP SP2, etc.), as well as Run as Administrator, and force 640x480 under compatibility.  I had briefly installed and tried the game about 6 months ago under Windows 8.1, and I had no problem with camera rotation.  Any ideas?  I'm running the Steam version of Freedom Force.

To be clear, I'm talking about the Alt + Mouse drag feature.  It works fine in  :ffvstr:  Yes, I have selected "Camera Rotate" in Options menu.

Thanks so much for any advice you might have.

Howdy Tridens, and welcome to the community!  I'm afraid that I don't know about this issue.  The only thing I can suggest is to try running Steam itself in compatibility mode.  That seems to help with some issues.

Thanks, BentonGray.  I tried that and haven't had luck either.  What is the latest on which compatibility mode to choose assuming running on Windows 10 64-bit?  I'm assuming you choose the same compat. mode for both Steam and FF?  FYI, Steam fails to start when I try to run in Win 98 / Me or below.  Not sure if that's a Win10 thing or not.

Hmm, I've tried XP with some success, but I haven't messed with  :ff: much on Win 10, unfortunately.  I'm sorry I can't think of anything else to try.  You COULD try different compatibility modes, (XP for Steam and 98 for the game) but I don't know what that would do.  I suppose that's worth a shot.

OK, thanks again for the ideas.  Hopefully someone else will have experienced or heard about this trouble.  I'm stumped by this one.
