Dying While Boost Jumping Changes Player FOV

General Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

In creative maps where players respawn, if a player get eliminated while boost jumping, when they respawn their FOV will be changed. When this bug occurs, while the player is respawning, they will be shown a camera view located at (0,0,0) in the map.

I believe this occurs because the player’s FOV is slightly changed when they do the boost jump, so depending on the timing of the elimination, this FOV change becomes permanent. Seeing the camera view at the origin further supports the idea that the camera is not recovering properly during the respawn.

Another clip. In this video I believe the player is just about to long jump before dying, this causes the glitch, it is still present.
