Switching to UAV gunner camera breaks controls
New, NormalPublic

Description

  • Whenever switching to a UAV gunner camera, a large portion of the controls break, including the ability to release control of the UAV.
  • The camera also switches to the driver camera instead of the expected gunner camera.
  • The only way to get out of the situation is to quit the mission through the escape menu.
  • The issue seems to have appeared within the last 24 hours or so, as one of the people asked to reproduce the issue used UAV's without problems only yesterday.

I'm unsure of what the severity is meant to be in relation to, but within the category of UAV's this is a major issue as it prevents most of their use.

Upon further inspection, the issue has only appeared on the profiling branch. Myself and the people I asked to test the issue have been using the profiling branch for performance reasons for so long that we completely forgot to take it into account.

Details:
Launcher version: 1.5.150968
Game version: 2.14.151437
Branch: profiling

Does this happen on dev version?

Does this happen on dev version?

I went and checked, no it doesn't. So the profiling branch is the only one.
