PTR 2.0.2 - Zoom is maxed out at start of a match

PTR Discussion and Bug Report
1

In the new 2.0.2 PTR when a match starts my zoom is very far out, currently its default is 2100 for me but this PTR update definitely makes it a lot farther than that, make sure this one is squashed as this can create annoyance when starting a new match having to scroll your wheel every time.

Update 1:

Tested more game modes and it is affecting Campaign too, game is not respecting Zoom Out preference and yes it starts at max distance. F5 will put the Zoom to 1650 which is Warcraft 3’s original Zoom when it should respect your Default Zoom setting.

Update 2:

I just did tests with different graphic styles and this zoom out issue seems to ONLY happen on Classic SD not Classic HD or Reforged. At least in my testing.

Update 3:

This finding is very inconsistent it has more chance to bug on Classic SD but still happens on Classic HD and Reforged, so with that all said please test this yourself Blizz and hopefully you see this issue too before Live.

I’m having the same issue currently. I only play campaign and I recently started it again but after the update this seems to happen at the start of every mission. For me, the “F5” maxes out the zoom, I know this because I did it at the start of the mission, thinking it just a weird one off bug, zoomed in manually after F5 did nothing, then hit F5 again only to realize that it maxes out the zoom… Let me know if you get any fix for this.

Blizzard please fix this, I’ve been playing this game for 20 years, have played the campaign over and over at least once a year, I love it, even loved the what Reforged has to offer, even loved the newer terrain with 2.0, please please fix this, cause 1650 zoom is a too close and not enjoyable.
