It sometimes locks character in one direction, can’t change it no matter mouse movement, keyboard input - it just stays in one direction for example facing north and im very vulnerable in that case.
I may cut video and post it there so there’s no confusion about it.
This actually happened to me yesterday on PC with a keyboard. I do not think it is a controller issue. It is almost like a perpetual target lock bug on a direction vs a mob or player.
After sheathing/unsheathing my weapons a few times it cleared it up.
Are You sure You experienced same bug?
It locks you in one direction - its very much possible it could be related to target lock but i don’t even use it (binded it on “:” key so i won’t accidently press it), in my case only way to fix it was going to main menu and then back in game.
I did experience a similar thing the other day several times, and it IS target lock, without actually having a target. hitting Q immediately dismissed it
Happens about 3 times a week for me on PS. Quick fix is to switch to 1st person and back to 3rd but it does need to be a bug report.
Clean it? Usually these things happen when it gets dirty. I have two just for this case.
Sounds similar to a bug with target lock that causes it to lock on to something, anything, when you switch from third person to first and back again.
It was causing enough issues that we simply disabled target lock on the server. It solved far more issues than any pros that target lock had.
But what I described has been an issue with target lock since it was introduced nearly 5 years ago. I feel like its a failed experiement.
That one was supposedly fixed though not too long ago 
Maybe this is the remnants of it manifesting as a slightly different bug
To be honest i think target lock is pointless - takes out too much of game amd its buggy. I didn’t even like target lock in dark souls or elden ring.
I won’t lie, I didn’t even like Z-Targeting in Ocarina of Time and avoided it whenever it was possible to do so. You give up control for convenience.
This was has experienced likewise.
It usually resolved if this one opens the sorcery menu or the settings menu. Sometimes the map will break this one free, as will some emotes.
In active PvP, it is sometimes perilous.
At first this one thought it was a new drunk mechanic.
Happens as usual most of the time on laggy servers. But solved by going in and out from 1st person.
Pretty annoying tho indeed.
