Camera rotating while attacking now and then?

[Schrödinger]

Like the title says, sometimes while attacking an enemy and not target locked, the camera will spin off in a direction until the attack animations finished, or I lock target.

Any idea if this can be fixed? Using mouse/keyboard, not sure if it happens with controler.

It's happened to me at times, too. Never happened before the last patch for me, but meh. I've kinda just lived with it, really.

Ah okay, ty for reply!

I've just been doing the same, living with it, lol. It's annoying, but doesn't often get me killed or anything.

Do you have any other controllers plugged into your computer, like a racing wheel or any other input device than the KB/M.

It happens when you use certain weapon arts I'm pretty sure. Happens to me all the time and I'm just using kb+m with no other inputs

I feel like this has happened to me a few times in recent memory. I've wondered if the camera was somehow broken in one of the patches, and maybe it's true judging by what I see here. It just sort of seems to freak out every now and then. Not a game-breaking bug by any means, especially since kb+m which gives you excellent control over the camera.

As for causes, I can think of a few. Enemy hitboxes interacting with the camera, for example. Weird collision with the geometry above the player, since the camera can definitely collide with solid objects, such as walls. It's possible that the hitboxes at the altitude of the camera are less polished and more prone to bumping the camera.

Nope, even double checked to make sure my controller or anything else wasn't plugged in.

This issue has been present since the game was released.

I'm not sure if there's any way around it. IIRC, there was some way to break out of the spin (if you just try to compensate for it, you have to "fight" with the camera for a bit until it stops), but I don't remember what it was (maybe if you use the reset camera/lock-on it snaps out of it).

It's just something you'll need to deal with.

Hey guys,
New to Dark Souls. Every time I fight an enemy the camera doesn't really stand behind me.
It just goes wherever. Is this normal?
