"Free Look" Stuck on "Restore Camera When Exiting"

[wyoedbrown]

With the new update today, suddenly the right mouse button for "Free Look" jumps back to whatever spot I was looking at before I initiated "free look". I want it to jump to the new position that I am looking at whenever I am free looking around, so I keep "restore camera when exiting" unchecked. However, whether it is checked or unchecked, my "free look" is jumping back to the original location just since today's update. Any thoughts? I'm not running any mods, because they are all disabled for a day or so due to the new update.

Good to see this post, thought I screwed something up with the settings. This looks like a game bug, even if only 3 people reported here so far.

Your topic was posted while I was typing mine.

Add me as another with it, annoying as you know what.

OK, I have a ticket in to tech support. This is beyond annoying - I am a DD main,  and this is disabling! I zoom in and out constantly with free look to acquire new targets and check on proximity of dangerous enemy ships and obstacles. I've had to switch to battleships tonight, since free look isn't quite as big of a deal and I have more time to react.

Just tested this in the game with a DD. You are right. Unchecking the "restore" button seems to do nothing. I even tried restarting the game to see if that would get the setting to "stick".

Yup, thanks for the info,  Snarg...

for me, the problem is slightly different but related, this update when my view passes ~+-90 it switches the turret group, despite the fact it should only happen manually when I specifically command it by pressing the bound button which for me is the "]" key (under the =+ key), this is despite "Automatically switch the camara between the gun mounts" being unchecked, it's such a PITA too, as I play fully zoomed-in, so my view is just above the front turret set just forward of the bridge, so when it switches turret group on its own I have to keep manually forcing it back.

Oh, I haven't noticed the turret camera problem. I will check that when I load the game next.

add me to another one the free mode button not working properly

I received a reply this morning that Tech Supp is aware of the problem, and they are working on a fix. Hope it's soon. I was engaging with two DDs last night and both were low health,  but I kept losing track of them without free look working correctly. Really a pain.
