Can't rotate my character?

[MrSquints]

Soo, I just got into a server recently annd, I'm stuck looking in one direction.

Im not in free-look, every time I try to rotate my charcter though to look in a different direction, it rubberbands back to the direction I was looking at. I can't rotate at all, I can only move using W,A,S,D but can't look in a general direction without using the Alt button..

double press the alt button.
that will revert it to normal.
else restart game join other server and retest if problem still exists.

I literally JUST said that it's not due to the free-look option.. Can you read? lol. Restarting was an option that I didn't want to take seeing as how it was a 12 person queue in the server and I had already crashed twice beforehand so I really didn't feel like waiting. But I ended up restarting and it did fix it.

have the same problem form time to time, too. i am able to look around in freelook, but as soon when i change to "normal steering" there's somehing that is dragging my mouse always in the direction i was looking before freelook. can't turn around. btw it will only start after beeing in the inventory. only solution so far was relogging on the server. it came with .60 and really needs a fix.

there's a bug with the item images in the inventory too on my side. not all of them are getting loaded, only their darker background shows me that there is something in a slot. i always have to hover the slots in my inventory to see what i have there. really annoying. this is only happening when i play in amd eyefinity on 5238x1050. as soon when i switch to 1680x1050 only, the icon images will be visible. a friend of mine, who's playing in nvidia surround on three 1080p monitors have this problem too. Btw. fullscreen won't work in eyefinty on my side, too. The game will start with a error message that is telling me something like "can't set resolution". The only fix was to edit the dayz.cfg, set windowed to 1 and use the tool "windowed borderless" for getting rid of the borders. this all came with .60, too.

Have a game controller plugged in?

[ZehNeunZehn]

yes, thought about my gamepad too last time i had this bug. while in that bug i tried using my gamepad hoping that it would get me out of it - sticks were working, but using it didn't change anything to the mouse. but you are right, next time i should try playing the game with having it unplugged.

but anyway, it needs to be fixed, like the other bugs i'm getting since the new renderer was implemented.
