Setting console commands

Support Technical Support
1

Each time I play I manually change my console commands to set a decent mouse speed.

I use:
/console cameraYawMoveSpeed #
/console cameraPitchMoveSpeed #

When I log out or change character it doesn’t save my console command and I have to retype this again each time that I play.

Is there a way of making this command stick so I don’t have to keep typing it in.

Thanks

Good morning Yme,

Have you tried running the game with admin rights? So that changes that are made to the settings are saved?

Kind regards

What’s your opinion?

Thanks for the reply Kiemmaki, but unfortunately that didn’t solve the problem. I still have to manually enter the commands even while playing with admin rights

Hello Yme,

You might be able to find your answers here. Since these settings are not really supported, we can’t really assist here. I’d suggest you post in the Interface forum to seek the help by fellow players.

Kind regards

What’s your opinion?

Find your config file right click - properties and uncheck read only.

Thanks for the reply Essential.
I found the config file in \World of Warcraft_retail_\WTF
and read only was already unchecked.
:frowning:

Try to uncheck on whole WTF folder :slight_smile: You can also add cvars directly to your config file so there is no way it won’t be saved. But if worst will happen, you can always macro it…

Okay… I unchecked the whole WTF folder and unfortunately no luck.

Is it usual for console commands to stay active after logging?

Try with /cvar affix like /cvar cameraYawMoveSpeed #

unfortunately that brings up the prompt "type ‘/help’ for listing of a few commands

Go to your config file and add these commands manually

SET cameraYawSmoothSpeed “setting”

then File/save. It should work

yeah unfortunately SETing the config also didn’t work.
I’ll check the thread. I really appreciate your help for sure.

I ended up on this thread:

And eventually just added these commands to a macro:

/console cameraYawMoveSpeed 30
/console cameraPitchMoveSpeed 30

SO each time I change character I press a macro instead of copy pasting both lines individually from a text file.

It’s kind of a bodgy solution, but I guess it works.
