This sounds like a controller issue. Check to make sure you don’t have drift on whatever control handles looking around.

I have this too. The camera is sometimes randomly looking around and moving. I don’t get any strange inputs from my Xbox controller.

EDIT: Nevermind, it was my Tobii tracker which i had no keys bound for yet to disable it.

I don’t think this is a controller issue. After the update, it does seem to happen less often. I still don’t know how to get freelook with the mouse to work. I can only use freelook with the keyboard.
