    As far as I'm aware, it's the "Aim automatically with spears" option, or however it's worded. If it's disabled it won't work, so it sounds like you want it enabled in your case. If that's not it, then I dunno. Note I haven't been playing lately so I wouldn't know about a new bug if there was one. Given that, I'll probably log in and check things out soon and maybe get back to this topic if it does turn out to be a problem for me, too.

    Ok here is the change, so before the 'aim auto with spears'(or something like that) helped with auto targeting enemies/bosses on attacks.

    Now there's been a very helpful change but that could be disorientating for those not aware.
    The aim-assist function now only works when not holding down a directional key.
    If you smash without any directional keys with the option on, you will auto target; but if you do have directional key pressed, you will attack in that direction.

    This has helped a bit with for example, Miri's scorching streak used to always hug the boss, but now you can use it properly in any direction you want or hug by not pressing any direction.

    Bad wording but I think it affects auto-aim, not sure about camera direction only attacking

    I managed to somehow 'fix' it with friend's advice, i checked 'attack in cam direction' and 'aim at boss when throwing' and the rest are unchecked. It still works a little different but its manageable, as Puppyman when you get used to it it's even an improvement

    I believe the option to change this is in the same place where you change your key bindings in settings. Next to the key bindings there should be list of options and auto lock should be one of them
