[Bug] Movement broke mid heist - can't look around

99 votes

I don't know how exactly I did it, but I was shift tabbing to learn the stealth version of the heist and suddenly my mouse stopped working in game. I wanted to see if I could fix it by interacting with things in game and found that Human Shielding a civ did return movement to my mouse, but once I shoved them back down, I couldn't move my mouse anymore.

Video link shows the issue, since I cant upload .mp4 to here - https://youtu.be/LbZMt94kWlI

Description - The camera is stuck in a fixed position for the character. Not able to use the mouse to move around, only with WASD.
How to Reproduce - I was cracking a safe, and when I completed it. It was stuck.

After using cams within the bank, there seems to be a small possibility that your look movement will no longer work, as you can still move around but you cannot look up/down or left/right

I found a bug that ruined the game.The bug is related to the use of a micro-camera. When I used it, I pressed esc and then quickly spacebar to exit my mouse stopped responding to movements.The problem was only in the game because when I went to the pause menu, the mouse worked as it should.To fix the bug, I knocked but it didn't help.The problem was solved only when I restarted the mission. Also on this day I was recording the game for the YouTube channel I can provide a video of how everything happened

I joined a game and wanted to lower my video settings to increase my FPS. I had all settings on ultra then changed them all to high. I returned to the game and my mouse look didn't work at all. Tried changing video settings again, mouse sensitivity, alt tabbing, nothing worked. I couldn't turn or mouse look at all. Dropped to menu and started a new game, everything was fine.

Sometimes when I pick up a body my conrols are dead and I can only move if I drop the body, but the body then just glitches through the Walls or the Ground.

When changing settings in-game camera will completely lock only known way to fix is to reset guest or leave and rejoin. On Xbox

sometimes when I open team chat and then press Escape to do something in the options I stop being able to look right, left, up, or down. This bug does not happen alot because I think you have to do stuff in a certain order to activate this bug.

I was looking up settings in game, specifcally controls. After exiting settings menu I couldn't move my crosshair, although mouse was working.

I had the same issue but triggered by use of the main security cameras. What is weird is that when you get tased you can slightly move your camera. When going into custody the bug persisted but when going out of custody it was fixed and mouse movement worked again.

after pressing esc and looking at settings during the heist the game locked the aim so mouse movements weren't registered, all other inputs registered.

Every time i pause the game to change any settings or just to check something and then unpause the game the mouse doesn't work until the heist is restarted.

Steps to Recreate:
1-Pause Game
2-Unpause Game

Expected Result: Mouse working as normally intended
Actual Result: Mouse doesn't move at all

During the heist if you use chat, any in game menu's (settings ect), use steam overlay or tab out there is a chance your mouse will be locked in place and the heist must be restarted in order to fix the issue

Description -Mouse-look becomes disabled when pausing for a bit then returning to the game.

How to Reproduce - Whenever you stay in the escape or pause menu for about 30 seconds to 1 minute; the mouse-look is disabled.

I am running two monitors which may be part of the issue, but I am unsure.

I do not have an image to provide but I have a video that will be linked that shows the bug.

It happened again, but I think I figured it out. It might be a sequence of button presses in combination with pressing Escape or maybe just going into a menu in general.

In game/during heist, if the player changes either vertical or horizontal sensitivity it will lock the player in place rendering them from looking around forcing them to only be able to look one direction. The only way to fix this was to restart the heist.

After a rebind of the Throw Item button that was bind to a mouse button, I couldn't move my camera. I even tried to use a controller and it was still stuck

I was recording my game so I have a video of my action before and after the bug happened (sorry for the long menuing) ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhJD858nCxM

After tabbing out or leaving in-game settings furring an in progress heist will leave player camera unable to be manipulated by mouse input. Had been reproducible by multiple times, mostly upon trying to change any keybinding. Does not happen every time but leaves player unable to play when it occurs. Player camera is fixed upon leaving to main menu and joining a new heist

Agreed. Trying to adjust the cross hair size, or adjusting the Y Axis caused the Right stick to either stop responding to Up and down adjustments, or stop responding completely to up, down, left and right adjustments.

While in-game, if I Alt+Tab to switch to my second monitor to do something and then return to the game, my mouse becomes unresponsive for looking around. Interestingly, I can navigate the in-game settings menu and switch weapons using the mouse wheel, but I'm unable to control the camera perspective.

when changing your keybindings, the game will lock certain controls, like mouse movement or the ability to crouch or change weapons.
