The new Crit Charge animation is awkward and terrible on PTS Update 49. There's a bad, side angle awkward slice that leaves your character looking like he'd be slaughtered by a counter after he completes the move. The transition from this move to a light attack is... embarrassing.
It's pretty bad. Try it.

Combat animation is so messed up now. My character constantly does disturbing twists that are probably not even humanly (or bosmerly) possible. It looks awful.
Just got done doing Crypt of Hearts and if the boss hits you you're supposed to get stunned and fall on the ground. Now you do a weird slo-mo walk backwards.
I pray that ZOS gets their priorities in check and starts fixing what they broke.
@Marto You are wrong. These bugs were introduced after update 48 and have nothing to do with addons or animation canceling.
You can temporarily fix most of the issues with forceful camera rotation caused by addons by opening and closing the crown store. That seems to reset things.
For any more permanent fix than that, you'll have to dig around the settings of your addons, specially anything that modifies the rotation of the character, anything that creates new menus, or edits existing menus.
These rotation issues happen after new updates because add-on authors don't always update their addons. It's nothing on ZOS' end. But you can check the ESOUI website forums, and see if anyone released and unofficial update.
