[UE 5.3] Controller rotation override by the client after a possess

I discovered a (pretty big) default in the possess function. If you use AController::OnPossess() to move the controller from a pawn to another, the controller will move to the new pawn, will set its rotation equal to the new pawn rotation using AController::SetControlRotation(), but this rotation will be instantly overrided by UCharacterMovementComponent::ServerMove_PerformMovement(), I assume receiving client input during the process. The result is that the new pawn will have the same rotation …

After digging through about 100 links, i found this. Sounds like it’s an issue with the possession function that i will have to fix in a janky way with set rotation? I assumed it would be some setting somewhere I needed to change.
