Hello!

A bit of a strange bug, that has only happened to me once in the game, but just thought I may as well report it anyway.

So, having played the Personal Story numerous times, I was desperately skipping every cutscene in this mission. I also had the W key (i.e. move forward) button pressed, in order to save a little bit of time when the cutscene ended.

After the cutscene outside the dig site with Agent Zrii and erm that other person, my controls got magically ‘reversed’ and the camera became completely distorted.

It seemed that the sideways movement keys spun my camera around in circles, and the backwards button (S) caused me to move forwards by backstepping. The forwards button (W) caused me to run fowards in the opposite direction to which the character was originally facing.

I thought maybe I messed up my camera/movement controls so I had a play around with first person camera, changing movement and camera control keys etc, but nothing seemed to have worked. My character’s movement and the camera were just bizarre.

It was pretty trippy and unplayable at that point, so I just logged out and back in, and all was resolved.

I doubt that this bug is particularly reproducible, but wanted to raise it anyway
