Summary
This bug is completely new. Up until today, the Guided Missile in creative mode worked completely fine. However, now the missile fired from the Guided Missile weapon is always launching toward the north east, ignoring the horizontal angle my character had when firing. And it always is launching parallel with the ground, ignoring any elevation angle my character had when firing. Along with this, there’s a moment where the camera itseslf points in a weird way when the missile is fired, for a fraction of a second before the camera moves to the missile. I’m not sure if this camera bug is part of the same bug as the incorrect aim (which is the main bug I’m reporting in this post), but I thought I should mention it, just in case it is related.
I don’t know if this bug is only in Creative mode, or also in OG mode, but it’s so hard to get the weapon in OG mode (its “legendary” rareness makes it VERY hard to get) that I haven’t been able to test it there yet after having noticed the bug in Creative mode.

Additional Notes
This bug is completely new. Guided Missile worked fine just a few days ago. I don’t know what has changed in the game’s code recently, but it has broken the Guided Missile in Creative mode (possibly also in OG, mode but I haven’t tested it there today yet, as it’s a very rare and hard to get weapon). This must be an issue in the server code, because there was no new game client download recently, but this bug was introduced very recently (either today, or in the past few days). Please revert whatever recent code changes you made to the server that would affect the Guided Missile. And please do NOT do what you did back in the original Chapter 1, when there was a bug in the Guided Missile, which was to remove the entire weapon. I really like the Guided Missile, so I want it fixed, not removed.
