Camera Angle Issue

Since the very recent update there is now an issue with the camera angle. I can reproduce this issue my simply pressing 'esc' or viewing my in-game email/inventory. What's suppose to happen is the camera focuses in on the character and you get to see your foreground menus. However now the camera angle view is different from before. When I view my taller characters on screen their heads get cut off the top of the screen. When it is my shorter characters you can clearly see a bit of a distortion and you can see the angle difference easier. It is essentially angled and zoomed in a bit. I don't know if this was meant to display this way but it is a bit off putting. Is anyone else experiencing this weird new camera issue?

Note: I have made no changes to any of the settings at all. This was something immediately apparent once the new event update came out.

    My idea, reset your camera settings to default and reset them them how you prefer. You may need to also delete your user settings document in the game files folder(copy it to another folder so you can get it back first if that doesn't solve it) and see if that forces things to update back to default.

    That's something I tried after posting this thread even though the settings were still on default. Still nothing. This portion of the game isn't reliant on your personal camera settings anyways it is nothing on my part that I can change or fix.

    Actually, the camera angle used during menus, including when you hit the esc/escape key, is a setting in the code even if you may not normally have access to it.
    I know I don't have the issue you are describing. It goes to the proper default for me.

    That leaves you with only 2 options. Either repair your install using the launcher or reinstall, hopefully from a backup copy of your data from before this issue was patched in for you so you just need to update a short download or entirely redownload the whole game if you have no other option.

    I'm pretty sure this "one-off issue" you are having will only be resolved by that.
