Hello there,
I am currently working on a game that is heavily reliant on Shiftlock and First Person.
With recent engine updates, camera control has changed. Shiftlock no longer automatically rotates your humanoid root part relative to your camera position.
This is a major issue for many reasons, mostly obby games that require shiftlock to be beaten (like difficulty chart obby games)
In the case of my game, a required mechanic requires your humanoid root part to turn 360*. Without shiftlock, first person is the only option.
Please revert this change or give us developers an option to disable it.
Expected behavior
Shiftlock should automatically rotate your Humanoid Root Part.

Seems to work fine for me:
This is a fresh place file except for a script that sets all BasePart character descendants transparency to 1 except for the HRP which is set to 0 instead.
I’m guessing you may have a script in your game interfering with how the HRP is rotated when using shiftlock. If I’m missing something please lmk though!
Strange. You seem to not have the new “Camera Control” update yet.
Your studio might be out of date, go into any r6 game and right click or shift lock. You’ll see what I mean then.
Update: This is also a camera setting. You can toggle it on or off. Check your camera settings.
What setting are you referencing here? I can’t seem to find any new camera changes besides the beta for the “New Studio Camera Controls” which should really only affect the studio freecam.
It’s inside of the actual settings in the Roblox Player.
Yeah IDK, the only Camera Mode I have in the Roblox Player that messes with shiftlock is “CameraToggle” but AFAIK, that has always been the case for it. Hope this gets resolved for you though!

Thanks for the report! We haven’t been able to reproduce this. Would it be possible to provide a minimal place file and specify what your user’s settings and platform/environmant are? Or does it happen with an empty baseplate? That may help us get to the bottom of what’s breaking for you.
