Additional Information

The character controller becomes stuck facing one direction due to an unknown bug. If you try moving your mouse, it will repeatedly reset to one specific X/Y/Z viewpoint.

You have to hold the "alt-key" and look around in order to resume functional gameplay. Sorry, but that's all the information I have.

Hello sethxdeath and thank you for the report.
Have you experienced this issue upon joining a server or has the issue occurred even upon a simple respawn?
Regards,

Geez -

Neither. You might be referring to the old glitch where mouselook was enabled and you had to press 'Alt' twice to toggle it off.

This issue used to happen in .62 frequently. I have only seen it happen once in .63. It happened while I was jumping over fences in Dolina. I was perhaps holding 'Alt' to look around while jumping. Suddenly, I was unable to turn my character in any direction. The game would reject any mouse movement after a slight "twitch", forcing the camera back to a specific X/Y/Z coordinate. I held the 'Alt' key and was able to look around. After releasing the 'Alt' key, normal gameplay resumed.

Sorry for not having more details.
