Mission

 

Is it modded?

Description

Appears to be TrackIR related since I cannot reproduce when I turn TrackIR off. This issue is not present when using TrackIR in the current Stable release.

Look straight forward and center TrackIR view. (I pulled up weapon to show TrackIR and character are centered.)

Equip Shovel.

Approach and start digging.

View snaps to a random location.

In the example provided in the video it is mild. It will sometimes snap view over the characters shoulder. Seems random.

    With the latest update, this issue seems to have increased. Getting vehicle, heli, repairing.. view snaps drastically over shoulder.

    Extra video of how drastic the snap is as of 1.7.0.33. Happens when getting in vehicles / heli as well.

    This might he helpful but then might not.

    With the problem existing when repairing or digging go to ...

    Settings > Controllers > Headtracking > Set Freelook control (NO)
    Start making repair and obviously the view stays focused.
    Now return to Freelook control and set to (YES)
    View with Headtracking now stays remarkably focused (initially).
    Stop repairing and run around with character
    Return to repair and the TrackIR snap starts happening. Might be slight to begin with.

    Stop repairing and move around more and the snap can become progressively worse.
    Disabling Freelook control and re-enabling again seems to address it temporarily.


    Snap severity seems to depend on angle of view. I can stand in same spot with repair prompt visible, hit F and view may snap 45 degrees to the left. Change my angle of view on the repair prompt by rotating player body, and it may then snap right 10 degrees, or down 10 degrees. Almost random.. but not.

    Hope this info is of some use.

    It appears this was resolved in the 1.7 Stable update. Thank you!. I did not know what to do when the view did not snap over my shoulder at first!
