Details

• Since patch 9.0.1 this requires at least disabling the "Keep Character Centered" option for most functionality to work (or disabling CVar CameraKeepCharacterCentered).

Patch changes

• Patch 9.0.1 (2020-10-13): Added CVar CameraKeepCharacterCentered which overrides action cam functionality by default.
  
• Patch 7.1.0 (2016-10-25): Reintroduced.
  
• Patch 7.0.3 (2016-07-19): Added & temporarily removed.
