hi,  
I am trying to create smooth rotation for my VR character, I am running into an issue where when I rotate the character it moves around the room center instead of moving the camera itself, I have tried some things but couldn’t figure anything out. I did find a post where they rotate the character around the camera but couldn’t figure out how to implement it.  
Any help would be appreciated.

YO I JUST GOT IT TO WORK TOO!!! I got it after messing around with the nodes from the post you mentioned ( [https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/vr-camera-rotation-around-itself/459978/4](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/vr-camera-rotation-around-itself/459978/4) or I think this is it anyway) but I got it to work by simply replacing the custom event with the input action I use for turning normally. If you have a multiplier, just add that before the first connection.

This is my current code for reference, if it still doesn’t work lmk and I might be able to help

This works fine for me when in UE5 VR preview mode, but once I package and install on the Quest 3 it goes back to being offset when I try to smooth rotate. Any idea why?
