Broken Neck Syndrome has Returned

Game mode: Single Player
Type of issue: Bug
Server type: PvE
Platform: PC
Region: North America


When logging on, sometimes (now after the latest patch) the player character’s head is turned sharply to the left or right and stays stuck that way. The only way to fix it, so far, has been to log out and log back in (and hope it doesn’t do it again).

I have tried placing the character in a location that does not cause the character to “stare” or “look” at anything when logging back in (such as no crafting stations in sight nor any other thrall in sight), but that doesn’t seem to affect any change (at least, not with consistency).

Seems to only happen on login. I recall that this problem was “fixed” earlier, but it looks like its back.


Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:

Hey @Bodin

Thanks for the feedback. Are you using any mods (since you mention you’re playing in single player)

The “broken neck” syndrome does not appear to be showing up in the newest Testlive version. So maybe, whatever broke it, got it corrected with the next fixes.

We introduced some modifications to the animation system, so maybe that took care of it. We’ll keep an eye open in case this resurfaces again once the testlive patch is live.
Thanks for the feedback again.
