Incorrect Third-Person Viewpoint During Gameplay

Status:	Duplicate
Added by:	iatemyspanishbook on July 7, '26
Reported for:	10.0.1
Actual Result:	An extremely bugged POV during the early game, which negatively effects early game pressure
Expected Result:	A normal POV
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Frequently
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. Load into a match as The Good Guy (Skin doesn't matter)
2. As soon as the initial animation of The Good Guy has been completed and POV is given to player, glitch is visible

Explanation

Sometimes when you load into a match as The Good Guy, (I am unsure if it is only during the black banquet event only), the POV will be further back then normal and higher up. This makes it very difficult to navigate through the map with the odd POV point, and it allows you to see through the ground (I am unsure about if you can also see through walls and other solid objects). Also when doing any action, e.g: breaking a pallet/wall/generator, opening a locker, picking up a survivor, and any action that isn't in first person, the POV turns into a birds eye view. This reverts back to the already bugged POV after the action, but during which it is impossible to be blinded by a torch or flashbang (I am unsure about blast mines).

The bug does have an in-game solution, when you pick up a survivor and hook them (I am unsure if dropping them will result in the same effect) the POV will resume back to normal after it returns to being third person. The bug will not return during the rest of the match.
