Semi aquatics breaking camera movement
Description
While playing semi aquatics, the camera would at random intervals quickly drift down (forcing the camera to face completely downwards) until the camera was manually refocused. This occurred even without touching the joystick in charge of the camera at all. Additionally, this camera bug would persist the entire session (until I left the server) and would occur on any other dino I played as afterwards even if they are not semi aquatic. I did not need to enter water, and the water camera tilt settings seem to have no effect on triggering this bug. This bug would not occur if I did not play on a semi aquatic. Restarting my game did not prevent the bug from reoccurring.
Update: deleting all cache, downloaded mods, and replays seems to have resolved the issue, or has at minimum made it much less common

Steps to Reproduce
Log into a server (singleplayer and officials both tested) and join as a non semi aquatic creature (tested with hatz, deinon, and struthi); walk around to check that the camera behaves normally.
Return to character select and join as a semi aquatic, walk around as normal until the camera is forced downwards on its own (tested with deino/duck, sucho, and conca).
