Camera can "jump" 180 degrees on the y-axis

When using a high sensitivity and/or flicking the screen upwards/downwards quickly, the camera can switch 180 degrees from straight up to straight down, or straight down to straight up.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Increase sensitivity. In most cases default sensitivity will also suffice.

  2. Move your mouse/finger upwards at a normal pace. When staring upwards, the camera will maintain at that angle (normal).

  3. Move your mouse/finger upwards very quickly. Notice that the camera flickers. This is due to the camera angle flipping 180 degrees on the y-axis, going from straight up to straight down (and moving back up very quickly, making it possible for this to loop a few times).

These steps also apply downwards.

Expected results

The camera angle should maintain at 90 degrees upwards (or downwards) even when "flicking" upwards/downwards very quickly.

See picture attached. Hypothetically, when the finger/mouse is moved up very quickly, the game is allowing the camera to "skip" the non-permitted POV (camera angles) as long as the next frame would have a permitted camera angle. This is also easier to reproduce on a low framerate.

Confirmed using touch controls on iOS. Video attached.

I think this should be considered an accessibility issue because the flicker might be a problem for persons with photosensitive epilepsy.
