To clarify, the tracking speed all the way to the left has the same effect as having it all the way to the right?
Yes. No apparent effect. (moving to the right may make it worse, but certainly doesn't make it any better).
Alan
I just tested a simple project with camera.... Same problem Alan is having .... about a 6 second camera delay... All settings are default, just added a camera to a new project....
If it makes a difference, I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. Haven't tried on my Win 8.1 machine yet.
Alan
I have Win 8.1 so don't think it matters in this case
Strange - I'm on it but unable to reproduce. Will have a fix soon
Let me know if you need any further debug info - other thought since you can't reproduce is could it be processor related? My machine is an AMD, not an Intel.
Alan
I feel it is processor related - any issues I have experienced in the past with video has been related to AMD... wish I knew why.
Can you uninstall the current version and install this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gskd48kimn2mybj/EZ-Builder%20Installer%20-%20test%201.msi?dl=0
It has the same "Version" number so you will need to uninstall the current ARC to try it.
