I'm not exactly sure if others have posted about this (although I'm sure they have) since I couldn't find anything from the search bar! Sorry for any inconvenience!
It looks like there was some modifications to the use of the 5-9 keys for the use of first-person camera; I'm curious if this might be what changed? It looks like the changes occurred after the 2/5 patch.
(This excerpt is from the 2/5 patch notes🙂
Camera Positions saved to the “9” key could conflict with using the “9” key to raise an object in the air when the bb.moveobjects cheat is turned on. To resolve this, we’ve introduced the ability to clear out a previously saved camera position.
- Existing Camera Position functionality:
- “Ctrl” + “5-9” will set a saved camera position.
- Once a camera position has been saved…
- “5-9” keys will smoothly move the camera to that position.
- “Shift” + “5-9” will immediately snap the camera to that position.
- New Camera Position functionality:
- “Alt” + “5-9” will remove a previously saved camera position from the selected number.
I'm wondering if the issue you're experiencing might be a nonsensical number being stored in the 9 key? See if removing it with the Alt+9 command works.
