Stuck looking forwards
Sometimes when im doing something, my character will stick looking in one direction. If i try to look left or right, it does, but then quickly clips back to the forward view. Ive tried double tapping things, using numpad asterix, everything!

Please stop suggesting anything to do with alt and free-look. This is not it. This is a bug.

I too believe this is either something to do with an incorrect detection of a 2nd input control, ie a mousepad, or this is related to an armoury mod as I've only had this issue happen when using them (which may be coincidence). It's very rare that it does happen and I've played 1000's of hours without issue using the amoury mods so I can't replicate the cause.

For those trying to help but don't understand what's going on:
Start moving your crosshair left or right - it begins to move but snaps back constantly like something is correcting it. Vertical aiming is not altered and you can fire up and down fine. If you hold alt or double tap to lock it you can look left and right no issue. It's like you've been locked on to a particular compass bearing for aiming only. I know this sounds like the free look feature, but this is NOT it.

6/30/22 bug is caused by opening the virtual armory after I downloaded personal armory mod.

Bug is fixed by rebinding your Teamswitch key.

Controls/Common/Teamswitch
default is U as is Armoury

Better looking forward than always looking back i suppose. Be in the moment just don't forget to be in the moment. Oh wrong forum.

Had a 'zoom in' bind configured to a button on one of my joysticks/throttle. It was stuck on. I never noticed. 'unstuck' the button and now it's fine. BTW..it didn't seem 'zoomed in' it seemed like my head was stuck hard over to the left.. go figure.
