So I’ve come across this bug a few times now, but I’m not sure what’s causing it so it’s very hard to recreate.
Occasionally when I dodge backwards in combat while using the action camera, my character dodges forwards instead. It’s rare but when it happens it’s bad because it puts me right in the middle of where I was trying to get away from.

I think it may be a problem with targeting. I have ‘autotargeting’ ON, but have the ‘Promote skill to target’ setting turned OFF (best thing I ever did), which is fine, but in some rare cases it seems that I lose my target at the exact moment I dodge backwards.

Because the character faces the direction they’re running when no enemy is targeted, what I think is happening is that:
I hold D to backstep
press ‘dodge’ to dodge backwards
and in that exact moment I lose my target, my character does a 180° spin to face the running direction (D) and the ‘dodge backwards’ activates, rolling me forwards (relative to the camera) directly into the enemy.

Again, it is rare, it’s probably happened to me 5 or 6 times since action camera was introduced. Most of the time it works fine, I backstep, then dodge backwards. But very occasionally in the heat of battle it goes wrong and I find myself dodging right into where I don’t want to be.

It’s probably not relevant, but it’s only happened so far while I was using a Warrior with a longbow.
