During play last night on Canyon Network my client crashed. Upon re-connecting and re-joining I was in 'free-cam' mode where I could fly over the battlefield while the battle was in progress. My mech was where I left it and undamaged. I went the remainder of the match in this state, very very odd.

When my pilotless mech was destroyed it registered as ' X player killed HelBound'
Unfortunately I do no know the game #
This did not repeat the entire evening.

It's something PGI is very aware of. Though thank you for bringing it in. Without the use of having to glitch it, PGI has this spectator camera in their own builds as evidenced by virtually all mech and map showcases by No Guts No Galaxy, who liberally use it.

Just wish there was public access to it in private matches with an optional toggle. It'd be great for making videos.

On a side note, it is still bad that this bug can happen. When it happens again and you need to get back into your mech, disconnect and reconnect again.

Thats interesting. This match was against Sean Lang and the NGNG guys, wonder if that has something to do with it.
Perhaps the glitch then is that I was unable to re-enter my mech.

Just watch, the next time a stream occurs, half the team will disconnect and reconnect to see if this works. (jk)

That is interesting as I have had something like this happen before, but I was locked to my mech (could free look, but could not actually fly away from my mech. Did not have any PGI or NGNG people in it AFAIK.

I have experienced it in CW, and I tried to take a video.

Not sure if this will help, and note that I play at 4K so when streaming things are very jumpy, but I think any video is probably better than none.

GenO;

Your video actually captures what I experienced.
