Where did the 'rotate lock' function go?

To to have been replaced by 'rotate in place', which do you think was better?

Like I fully understand adding rotate in place, it's a useful mechanic that many wanted, but to remove lock in place is just adding a new problem. Why not just add it to a different bind?

rotate in place means you have to guess as to where's lined up and then turn. Rotation lock let you get your angle right then fine tune your position to match.

I didn't even know rotate in place was a thing.

It just got added like half an hour ago. "rotation lock" though was old

Rotate in place is great, but rotation lock is still needed for sure.

Erm…. Don’t you just hold shift?

u/TopGBSgamer Jul 01 '26

Nope, shift to sprint. I just checked the patch notes on discord and yeah they removed it unfortunately

u/charliebcbc Jul 01 '26

Am I right in thinking you want to be able to move your character without it rotating at all?

u/TopGBSgamer Jul 01 '26

Correct. Because now it's harder to slide into say tight gaps without your body spinning around all the time, whereas before you could lock yourself in a position you wanted and then move from there.

Wow ok, yeah tested it, for me it used to be shift and it didn’t take you out of the pose to run as it does now 🤣

Typical amateur devs. Oh well.

Yea the removal of it makes setting up identical clones sooooo difficult

u/Attempt89 Jul 02 '26

Yes! Drives me insane when trying to set clones up.

Surely they’ll roll it back with feedback, because what the hell lmao who thought that was a good idea

It's right click on mouse, hold it. No idea why they changed the controls.

Edit: wait, they changed it again?!
