Hi there!
I've just registered here to indicate the same problem... No matter how I try to rotate my Kerbal on EVA around any axis other than z (let's call axis z which points from foot to head).
Here is what I read:
Press <space> to reorient to camera:
doesn't seems to work.
Make sure "Auto rotate EVA Kerbal to camera" option is ticked:
it is
I even unchecked, accepted, checked and accepted again
doesn't seem to work for me.
Try to change the camera to FREE:
I did it, it reorients the Kerbal in a random direction...
Any OTHER ideas? Or is this a bug for the current release? Please before you answer, check if it works for you as the game is now! I don't want generic answers without you being certain it works for you!
If nothing seems to work, I would like to try a reinstall, but I'd like to hold onto my saves. What should I copy and from where to ensure my saves are intact?
If you want I can shoot a video showing the problem!
Thanks for the answers in advance!
