Character facing direction gets locked. Still

Basic Info:

Platform: PlayStation 5
Issue Type: Gameplay
Game Mode: Any
Server Type: Any
Map: Any
Server Name: Any


Bug Description:

The direction where the character is facing often gets locked at least on PS4 and PS5. It’s like moving on PC with keyboard only, you can rotate the camera with R3 but the character faces the same way until you either climb or switch to 1st person view. This has been going on for YEARS without a fix. It’s not a huge thing but has caused many deaths and losing gear when it happens mid-combat.


Bug Reproduction:

Just play and wait for it to happen

I don’t mean to be rude but are you accidentally hitting the lock on target button? After close to 20,000 thousand hours between us in this game my wife and I still hit the wrong button’s occasionally from bare fist inside of base to sending thralls off to attack when trying to interact with a merchant. Lost Pillow Dancer because of that yesterday. @Koschgine

this happens to me all the time, just climb on anything and it’s fixed

This has been happening to me a lot on Xbox X after Age of War. I’ll pay more attention, but it just randomly happens. The fix is the same as you listed.

I forgot about that

Happens to me about once every month but I can’t figure out what triggers it. If the can’t replicate it can’t get fixed

Exactly! In the beginning of this bug that arrived after 3.0 i thought it was the great bases.
But recently playing in single player a lot, in a totally empty server of builds i had this issue again. I go first person to remove it, there are a lot workarounds, but @Koschgine is right. In pvp you don’t have the privilege of time to do a workaround, you’re simply toasted if it happens through fights.

It’s been around for a very long time now.
Easiest way to FIX IT is
[enter first person and exit first person].

I just go in and out of inventory, it unlocks my direction :eye:

It happens with my ps4 pro, but climbing is the cure all for this.

Note that it has been reviewed. I read it was fixed on the pc.

I have had this happen and getting on a mount will fix the issue, for me.
