Camera Bug/Jitterring with a Spring Arm against Landscape or mesh

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hey! I’m struggling with a camera collision issue in UE5. I’m using Spring Arm from Third Person Template. The camera shakes or jitters when it is enabled on the Spring Arm — but it only happens when colliding with Landscape or non-plane mesh. It works fine on flat meshes or simple floors. I’ve tried tweaking Lag Speed, Probe Size, Collision settings, but the problem remains. Any idea how to fix or smooth this when dealing with Landscapes or objects? Did you get this with the standard Spring Arm ?

Here is my parameters for the Spring Arm

In fact, I have the same bugs with standard Third Person Template … what should I do to smooth the camera ?

If anyone is having this issue I fixed it with :

  • my SocketOffset was 50, I put it back to 0
  • I put 100 as a Target Offset, which reduces a lot the collision with the ground. I rotate a little the camera to keep the framing.
  • I followed this video to smooth the last little bugs :

I am facing the exact same issue in our project, however only on consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X and Switch), on PC everything works fine.

The fixes from @Daxt3r06 improved the behaviour, but it still happens.

At this point I have no idea what the issue is, it seems to be some kind of bug related to non flat surfaces. But as it only happens on consoles it’s even stranger.
