This happens for me as well. Sometimes it kicks in but I haven’t managed to figure out what causes it to.

Free look (LALT) doesn’t work at all for me when auto running. Mouse movement always changes direction irrespective of what I change that keybind to.

I was able to fix this issue with restoring my keybinds and gameplay settings to default, as it also affected my targeted healing.

Swapping out an equipped weapon for a different one in your inventory seems to fix it for me. Then you can just switch back to your main weapons.

Shift+Tab to bring up the Steam overlay, then closing the overlay fixed it for me.

Interesting, will have to try weapon swap or the steam overlay trick next time it happens. Thanks.
Thanks, that worked right away. I just removed my weapons and re-equipped them.

I always fix it by clicking repair all button. So three workarounds has something in common - pressing tab. Maybe there is some problem?

Thanks so much dude, this worked for me!
This is happening to me every time I log in currently. If I unequip and re-equip a weapon it fixes it for the session.

The weapon swap worked for me too, thanks everyone!
Same bug, weapon swap in/out worked for me too. EDIT: This issue, along with Auto Run, is being triggered by a bad Hemp node that won’t harvest. I existed the game 3 times, restarted my PC, back in the game and POOF as soon as I tried to harvest the bad node it broke my Auto-Run and Free Look again. Just FYI for devs. Bad node coords in image: 
honestly thought this was going to be a troll, cheers worked like a charm
This worked for me too! thx
