I like this one a lot. In fact, I wasn't aware of the problem.

Thanks mh! This will be really helpful for me, since I often use saves to test features and bugfixes in my engine.

mh: heh, I'd never noticed. I guess I'd always saved in a near enough to horizontal state.

The error is actually worse than just leaving you looking straight forward: it's -1/3 of the correct angle: if you're looking nearly straight down when you save, you'll be looking up at a bit less than 30 degrees when you load.

Anyway, issue confirmed and fixed* in QuakeForge. Thanks for the heads-up.

*Not yet pushed due to technical difficulties with the git repository on sourceforge

This one definitely is a bug as you do not look straight forward when loading the game: you look 1/3 of the angle in the opposite direction. Quite bad news for a keyboarder, I'd say.

Anyway, problems with git fixed: pushed.

It's worth noting as well that this one is fixed in Quake 2.

This is a very nice fix. I never noticed how the load game angle was screwed up.

And this fix works properly with -mlook or +mlook ... so doesn't change even speculated behavior.

If +mlook, you stay looking at the ceiling if saved that way.
If -mlook, you load looking at the ceiling but it drifts down to level like force_centerview would.

It is perfect.
