Hi all!

With the latest Second Life® Clients (the 1.20 series) I noticed the camera tends to “sway around” when you turn. Other people might also refer to it as “the camera is lagging behind”.

Of course this depends on how good your computer is, and your Graphics Card and whatever. I have to admit I need a better computer to run Second Life® more properly (I am saving up for one, but we all know they don’t come cheap).

Nevertheless, if you are like me, and truly are not finding a camera that keeps “swaying” whenever you turn a lot of fun, I suggest you do the following:

1. go to the Advanced menu (formerly known as “Client menu”)
2. scroll down the list and open up the Debug Settings.
3. type: CameraPositionSmoothing
4. the default time there is 1.000 seconds, I lowered mine to 0.200

Like I said, it’s just a tip, and a lot depends on how well Second Life® runs on your computer.

UPDATE:
This exact same feature is now also in the Preference window in the “camera” tab (set “camera smoothing” to 0.2 or less depending on the abilities of your computer)
