Help with Unplayable Camera Bug!

Submitted by FrenchFriedTaters on

***UPDATED AND FIXED THE BUG, SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR THE FIX!***

I just downloaded Morroblivion and have been playing it for a good 4 hours today,, LOVING IT!!

But alas, I have run into a bug that has rendered the game completely unplayable on ANY save, even on a new start!!

What's happening is this:
I leveled up in a bed in the fighter's guild in Balmora. 
After choosing my attributes, then clicking exit, the game paused for a second, then I was back to 3rd person. 
Upon moving my mouse, I discovered that the camera was STUCK in vanity mode! 

Camera is now permanently stuck in vanity mode, I can only walk backwards and forwards, and can no longer change the angle my character is facing with my mouse.

NOW BEFORE YOU GIVE ME SOME ANSWER LIKE DUH YOU'RE RETARDED GET A NEW MOUSE PLEASE READ THE FIXES I HAVE TRIED BELOW! (sorry to yell at you but I've dealt with forums in the past and know how they can be)

Things I've tried to fix this:
-searched Google for 45 minutes. This bug pretty much doesn't exist for Oblivion. There were a couple that had it and fixed it by getting a new mouse.

-so, naturally I thought it's my mouse. I have a Razer Death Adder which allows me to program the buttons. I disabled all scroll function and scroll clicking functions. After testing in game I went back and bound the scroll click to a new button. None of this worked.

-tried unplugging my mouse completely while in game to rule out all "mouse is broken" options. Didn't solve it either so I assume it's not a mouse issue.

-yes, I'm aware there is a button to toggle views on the keyboard and yes I tried pushing it and yes I tried remapping the button to a different button and no it didn't work

-tried relaunching

-tried removing all mods and launching then putting all mods back on and relaunching.

So, there you have it. If anyone is aware of ANY way that this can be fixed it would be wonderful of you to share :).

Like I said, I'm permanently stuck in vanity mode on EVERY save I load and it's even stuck when I create a new character :( 

Thanks for reading!

**UPDATE**
**FIX!**

After not having any responses to this post (clearly) and getting extremely frustrated, I messed around with everything I could and found a fix! 

Remember when you were downloading Morroblivion and had to get the unofficial patch? Well, make sure you disable the Citadel fixes when playing. This helped with the bug but I would sometimes see it crop up again.

I changed the load order to this:
Oblivion.esm
Morrowind_ob.esm
Morrowind_ob.esp
Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp
Morrowind_ob - Morroblivion Tree...
Then all the rest of the _ob add ons underneath

For whatever reason, this instantly fixed this bug for me!!

I will leave this thread up for anyone else that might run into this bug whether they are playing Oblivion or Morroblivion.
