Clean Camera Angles Fix

Description
For use with mods that alter the camera rotation to be 45 degrees instead of the default 90 (i.e Free Camera Rotation, LW2).

See Before and After pictures for example, notice how in the 'before' images the grid is ever so slightly skewed counter-clockwise after I rotate the camera 45 degrees.

Fixes the angle when the camera is parallel to the grid system so it is no longer off by 2-3 degrees. Alleviates my OCD.

By itself this mod does nothing noticable, you must have one of the mods installed that add more camera rotation angles.
At the current time, I recommend Free Camera Rotation for its customizability unless you play LW2.

The Mods "Improved Camera Updated," and "Improved Camera Updated WotC" accomplish the same thing as this mod, so you don't need this if you use those mods. This is useful for LW2 and Free Camera Rotation, among others.

This mod should be compatible with WotC, Vanilla, and LW2

This is literally a single line change in the INI files. Specifically, in XComCamera.ini I made the following change:
HumanTurnYaw=45.1 (Yes, the .1 is important to prevent crashes.)

For most people getting the camera issues, to point out the obvious but easily missed:

Several mod added camera cuts do not have correct configuration for camera cuts or scene closing, thus the camera 'gets stuck'.

Most white/black screens are caused by the camera picking up the light sourcing at an irregular angle, causing the lighting to go across the entire screen (whiteout) or shadowing it (blackout). This is common with UE games, and is resolved by ensuring you have the correct driver for your GPU so dependant libraries are loaded accurately. This a longstanding, known UE issue, so still don't understand why people are chasing circles on something they could of fixed for themselves years ago.

Getting the black screen bug post action (shooting? tasering?) in LWOTC using free camera rotation. reload to fix but LWOTC hq missions break saves, buyer beware

I didn't even notice this until I saw your mod. You evil genius

I've been getting similar results to everyone below, except my screen goes all black save for the HUD.

3 Years and no update? SMH I have yet to find a Camera Rotation Mod that works. And SHAME ON Firaxis, for not having it in the game on release!:steamsalty::steamsalty:

Yeah I'm not sure which one, but I have a fuckton of mods on, so I'm not saying it's your fault or anything. No longer using this mod, so I am pretty sure it was a conflict with this and something else. I'm pretty sure the camera mods I have are:
"free camera rotation."
"better tactical zoomout" (Maybe it was this one?)
I guess I also have "cinematic rapid fire" (but the bug seemed to happen randomly, and I'm not sure a soldier even had rapid fire at the time). Happy to post a full modlist, and or retest now if you want/care.

@a train, must be a mod conflict somewhere, odd because this is literally just one line of ini change.

Weirdly I have only experience the dirtyscreen effect taht alexandr described after adding this mod, having been successfully using Free camera rotation for a while. Saving and reloading fixes it though
