Moon Sweepers Vehicle Camera Keep the camera where you put it.

Moon Sweepers Companion · Reviewed · Patch 1.0.5

THE SHORT ANSWER

Open Settings → Controls and turn off “Vehicle camera follows behind.” In 1.0.5, this keeps the angle you choose instead of automatically re-centering behind your vehicle.

Where is the setting that stops the camera resetting?

Open Settings, choose Controls, and turn off “Vehicle camera follows behind.” This is a native option introduced in patch 1.0.5. You do not need a mod to disable this specific behavior.

After changing it, turn the camera to the angle you want and try a short drive in an open area. The stated behavior is that it keeps the camera where you turned it. If you prefer automatic follow again, turn the same option back on.

Does this add first-person view or change camera pitch?

The developer notes only promise control over automatic re-centering. They do not announce first-person driving, a new pitch range, or changed behavior on slopes. Treat those as separate requests, not features of this toggle.

If you found older advice recommending a camera mod because the view always reset, test the built-in setting first. This guide has not verified third-party camera mods against the current release and does not claim they are needed or compatible.

What if the option is missing or driving still feels wrong?

Confirm that Steam has finished updating and that you are running 1.0.5. An older build will not contain the newly announced option. If it remains missing, report the running version and a screenshot of the Controls menu in the Steam discussions.

A character moving by itself or ignoring the keyboard is a different symptom. The same patch fixes unwanted input from an off-center controller, joystick, wheel or pedals. If that continues, record which devices are connected and test one change at a time; camera follow alone cannot diagnose an input conflict.

Questions players ask

Do I need a Vehicle Camera Fix mod?

Not to stop automatic re-centering in 1.0.5: the built-in “Vehicle camera follows behind” option covers that task. Other mod features are separate and unverified here.

Can I restore the original follow camera?

Yes. Turn “Vehicle camera follows behind” back on in Settings → Controls.
