This bug in particular is pretty difficult to track down as there seemed to be a lot of inconsistency in reproducing this bug as there are several different situations where bug can occur making your camera unable to move until you kill yourself with K key or opening condo inventory menu with Q key but these doesn’t always work in some situations.
Steps to Reproduce
I got one that seems to happen every time- (see the video below)
Open your condo inventory.
Select any of string fx items and place one on anything.
Click on the string you just placed and edit it.
use “Set Position” and set it.
Close both “Editing” and “Manipulate” windows
You are now experiencing a camera lock bug. You can fix it by killing yourself but it’s a pain having to do that every time + respawning far away- having to run back to what you’re working on.
What I expected to happen
I expect camera not to be locked after closing windows or using something in condo building mode.
What happened
Camera gets locked- you cannot see around at all.
Notes / Media
This one seems to happen every time.
I’ve been trying to recreate this one but I couldn’t. I think it could occur from expended inventory but I don’t remember how I did that.
I was just thinking about reporting this after having encountered it myself numerous times as well as my friend who I just bought the game.
It seems to occur when you pull an item out of inventory Doesnt seem to matter if its an I/O item or not. I did notice it happens alot with FX and Sound effects.
What I usually end up doing is hitting tab or esc hitting it again hitting tilda key hitting it again and then I can at least move to see left and right but I can not actually move at all unless I hit V and fall but pressing K does indeed fix it.
Its quite annoying.
Yeah, this bug is extremely annoying and it’s the only thing that discourages me from building in Condo- it’s that bad. I could have reported it sooner but it’s very tricky bug to track down; especially when you couldn’t figure out what caused it to happen as there are several different ways making it occur.
I can confirm what you said- it also happens a lot after you pull items out of inventory
I’ve also been trying for ages to find a consistent way to trigger this so I could report it. It’s so frustrating that it makes me not want to build in condos because I keep having to stop and respawn.
I remember there was a relatively consistent version of this that was tied to editing scale values a while back. Sometimes you’d edit the scale and your chance of getting a camera lock would increase significantly. I’m not sure if that was fully fixed or not.
