Tier 3 Incense causing severe movement bugs
I've been using the Tier 3 incense for some time now and I've noticed that very often it will force me into walking diagonally even though I don't intend to move that way or im just holding W normally.

In addition, I can't say for sure but I think this same exact glitch happens to either the Video Camera or Tripods when you are holding them attached together.

Anyone else encounter the same problem?

It's not intended and intended at the same time... if that makes any sense.

Basically what is happening is that the held item is colliding into the player model while they are crouched, causing them to want to separated. Problem there is, there is no way for them to really separate without the player getting involved (be it by standing up or dropping the item), so it causes you to just... uncontrollably walk away from the held item.

The workaround is pretty straightforward - if you see this happening, then simply do not crouch and move with those items. A long term fix would be for them to code in an exclusion, where if an item is being held then it does not have any collision. That said... even a simple addition of code like that could cause more complicated issues, and they may not even happen right away... so we'll have to see.

This is reason I stopped using them. It's probably the hitbox causing some strange collision with the ground. Tier 1 incense for the win!

Have been experiencing this issue for a while, and only just realized it only seems to happen with Tier 3 Incense. Haven't experienced it with other items, but will keep an eye out. It definitely feels like a bug, it's gotten me killed several times; I'll smudge the ghost, run towards a hiding spot, and get redirected into a wall instead if I haven't dropped the incense. It seems to have gotten more noticeable in the last few updates too.
