Camera wont autoadjust

I am having an issue where the camera won’t automatically adjust no matter what setting I have it on.
When I first boot up the game and log onto a character, the camera works fine. But as soon as I log out and back on again, the camera will no longer automatically adjust until I exit the game and boot it back up again.

Just before I began to have this issue, I was playing around with the action camera feature through the /console ActionCam commands. I didn’t notice this issue occuring as I was playing around with it, but given that the issue started happening just after I was fiddling with experiemental camera options it could quite possibly be related.

I have already tried to delete the cache, interface and WTF folders. I have tried to scan and repair. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the game again with no addons and still this issue persists.

You could try /console cvar_default to reset all the cVars (cVars are the Variables that save all your interface options, even the ones that are not listed in the ingame options).

Be careful though, as this will completely reset all of your interface options to default, so you will have to set all of them up again.


If that as not an option for you, you could try the addon AdvancedInterfaceOptions (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/advancedinterfaceoptions).

This will list all the cVars and mark the ones that deviate from the default setting in red. So if resetting all of them is not an option you can go down the list and reset them one by one.

Thank you! The console command fixed it! I knew when I was reinstalling the game that the solution was going to be something as simple as that…

I kind of regret not going for the addon solution first, though. While the console command fixed the issue, if that addon could tell me what cVar deviated from the default setting, maybe it could have provided insight into how this issue came to be.

Nevertheless, I am happy and thankful to have this issue resolved.

Glad it helped.

The cVars get synchronized between client and server I think. That’s probably why the issue persisted after reinstalling.
