Camera issues since patch

I'm trying to figure this out. Since yesterday's patch, my camera on the ground constantly moves itself behind my character. I can't look at things, can't look at my character just standing still, because as soon as I stop moving the camera with the mouse, it will turn on its own to looking at my back.

I like to set it and forget it, and adjust with the mouse as necessary not have the damn thing move on its own. I tried looking through the release notes and settings but couldn't figure out how to fix this issue.

    Is your Home key stuck - have some dirt in it or some-such? Home automatically positions the camera behind the character on ground maps. If it is stuck it might be sending a constant re-position command. That is all I can think of off the top of my head.
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    There is indeed a setting in the camera controls. You want "free camera", rather than "chase camera". I think that the game keeps separate track of this setting for ground vs. space, so you can use 'free' in one and 'chase' in the other, but I won't swear to that.

    I can't imagine the home key is stuck, that would cause problems elsewhere too.

    Also I'm sure it was set to free camera while playing with the settings yesterday to try and figure out why it was doing this.

    I will doublecheck those things but I don't believe those are the problems. With no one else reporting the issue I guess it isn't a widespread problem though.

    Are you using Aim mode, the free camera does currently tend to auto position if using Aim.

    Ive had some weird camera problems in sector space.. My ship shakes around a little and on full zoom depending on my current camera rotation it disappears entirely or flickers
