On three or four out of four or five matches, I was able to look backwards without holding CTRL for freelook mode. This happened with both a Raven and a Catapult, but on the last two matches I have been unable to repro with either freelook or not.

[ArchMage Sparrowhawk]

happens constantly in my Jeager.

Amusing bug. But also disconcerting when playing on triple monitor (the wide FOV with triple monitor coupled with head look will allow you to see behind just like with this bug).

Should be something that's fixed up in the next year or so. Would hate to have VR support eventually added, only to find myself half immersed in a half cockpit.

Pressing C to re-center my torso to legs fixes it (until the next time it breaks)

[Monsoon]

Had this happen in my Cicada, it ended up locking over my right shoulder, looking towards the back of the cockpit.

[Playdoh]

I had it happen when torso twisting quickly - ended up looking out my back...

Free looking back to near the front area seems to fix it

[Eric darkstar Marr]

Happened on the evening test when I regained front looking I could deal no damage.

[TheJs]

Yes works without pressing control, happened during afternoon July 18 public test

[coRpSE]

ditto, happens on all mechs I played. (Without using Ctrl for free look.).

[Josef Nader]

Ended up with this where my camera was no longer following my torso, but locked facing a single facing of my legs. Extremely disorienting.

[Monky]

using a logitech G9X, I am getting this on my test server victor without using free look, but I do not have armlock enabled.

[Acid Phreak]

happens if i moved backward and have torso move to his max movement (also arm movement) then the cam will turn backwards. no free look included (key) and no arm lock

i thought that was a new feature^^

as note...i used a HOTAS<->Mouse kombo (T.Flight HOTAS X)

If you change your FoV when piloting an atlas (any atlas) if you swing back and forth as fast as you can ensuring you go all they way to either side. you will see through the wall and opening to the right of your cockpit glass. It shows your ballistic torso and anything within like 10 feet of it lol.

I thought I felt a breeze... turns out our backsides have all been hanging out.

I get that on lights all the time, probably because of ping / frame
