MCPE-35910

Character randomly looks / turns a random direction

Update on this issue:

This issue in fact had two underlying bugs, one of which was fixed in 1.8.0, and the other has been fixed in the 1.9 beta version. (1.9.0.0 Beta Changelog) We will leave this ticket open as a point of reference until 1.9 is fully released.

Whenever I am playing the game my character just randomly looks away without me doing it.

Some steps that reproduce the issue fairly reliably:

  1. Using touch controls, swipe in large circles on the screen several times to make the player look around fully

  2. Then walk on and off waterlogged slabs that are in a channel

  3. The camera will suddenly change direction completely when walking on and off the slabs (reportedly also affects stairs)

As mentioned in MCPE-37024, swimming seems to be a reliable way to trigger the bug.

It's less intense now in 1.7.0.3, but it's still occurring at random points.

Perhaps could be the case where the player tries to move/turn very quickly (possibly with high sensitivity?) and the camera/screen jerks accordingly, but it does not always happen.

I am also able to reproduce this issue.

Issue: Camera view will abruptly shift direction when building or mining with touch input.

Affects: v1.6.0

Device: iPhone 6S, iPhone 8 (iOS 11.4.1)

Seems like it's due an heightened sensitivity to touch input. Decreasing sensitivity settings in Settings → Touch → Sensitivity does not resolve issue.

I agree with ProfessorValko. Touch screen is buggy. I suddenly was looking down when trying to fight a blaze. Trouble was I could not move from that position and was killed. It is though the touch areas for direction are out of kilter.

I am guessing, without proof, this bug might be related to the keyboard & mouse sensitivity fix?

Anyways, my sensitivity in 1.5 I had set to 14, yet it slowed my turning enough that I was always going to hit or break something while rotating (the sensitivity really dropped for 14). I bumped it back to a better value when I first noticed (first time on 1.6) and now it does display the random buggy behavior

For those still having this issue in the latest beta (1.8.0.11+) - what are your sensitivity settings set to? If you lower this to ~50, does it improve?

even if your flying on creative and building it still happens on the latest beta 1.8.0.13. It can be really anoying when your fighting a mob in survival, since the chances are like 70% will make you look up or down suddenly when you try to hit the hostile mob.

I have experimented around with how it worked. If you touch the screen as well as the top of the forward button when using touch controls, your character will suddenly look at a different area. Here is an image to clarify: 

 

This is just a way to reproduce the problem. Do not know if anyone else experienced the issue in this kind of matter

I also tried to find a way to trigger it and while I can't 100% always get it, I've found that when you simply spam taps on the screen (especially in the center part), you can EASILY get it to work, without having to touch even near the buttons

Confirmed that this is STILL happening on 1.8.0. Happens both while trying to build and while trying to fight mobs. Tested on a realm world.

they fixed it a while ago but for the 1.9 beta, probably not for stable version then

The bug has been fixed but sometimes the camera will stutter or jerk. Is it because of my touch screen issues? I'm using Samsung Galaxy J3 Pro. The version of Minecraft I have is 1.9.0.3.

Also, could you please include any steps to reproduce the problem (if possible).

Edit: Players in 1.8 may still experience this issue, as the additional fix has been made in 1.9, which is currently in beta. We will leave this ticket open as a point of reference until 1.9 is fully released.
