I’m on windows 11 pro, Nomad 2.9.6. The problem is that I can’t navigate, rotating the camera. Edit: Sculpting brushes don’t work also. ---

Glad im not the only one with this issue. Clay brushes dont work in additive mode, only subtractive. No camera rotation. Camera zoom using ALT + LMB + Release no longer works. I thought i was going insane ---

Something is seriously wrong with the latest update. Happy to provide videos and do debugging if needed. I have keyboard shortcuts visualised so its easy to see whats being registered. Let me know. ---

What’s being triggered in the bindings menu? ---

I don’t remember ctrl ever being set to zoom. I would normally alt + LMB + release LMB and drag to zoom. Here’s a quick vid showing the clay brush not working, and the binding. Subtract works.

I had the same issue. But after disabling the Joystick in the Bindings advanced the issue is fixed. I think this should be off by default as many new users might not find these helps in the forums. ---

Wait… is sculpting and other stuffs working when you disable it? Core of the issue is controller drifting (and option not being saved), but I need to know if it’s the only issue. ---

Not working, even if i disable it. ---

There are some weird things going on in the video, like scrolling for example (camera zooming, brush radius changing). What’s your setup? Joystick, keychron, etc ---

I’ve got a 3dConnexion, which is always turned off when using nomad. A wacom tablet (currently off). A razer tartarus (not disabled). A wired mouse and an evo80 keyboard. Let me disable and unplug everything except the mouse and KB, restart and see if that helps… brb EDIT: Disabling and unplugging everything fixed all my issues! This still gets re-enabled, but doesn’t seem to break anything ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/3X/4/a/4a6473f1bcab6cafa8474d11a0187c00aa9396a1.png) I’ll re-add devices and see what it was. Thank you for helping, much appreciated. ---

Thank you. This works for me, but when I close the program and reopen it, I need to disable the joystick again. Looks like the change is not stored, otherwise so far I don’t see any problems. ---

Yes, the 2.9.7 update fixed the problem. Thank you.
