I really thought when I last played during a free trial that I could move the camera without moving my avatar's direction by using the left mouse button. But I can't do that now. I can only move the camera with the right mouse button but that will change the direction I am walking. I checked all the keybinds, and there did not seem to be any camera control. Am I remembering wrong, or how can I do this? Also, is there a way to edit the interface? Mainly I want to hide the SOTA version on the top left of the screen. Thanks!
Hopefully you did not touch the tab key. It messes up so many people. I use w key and s key along with my mouse to move. So tab and v key to get back to normal.
The SotA version in the top left corner is the "watermark" used to assist in identifying what patch level was in use during a screen shot etc. Similar watermarks are used in closed alpha/beta releases for games in some cases to help enforce NDA agreements. This is present in SotA only because this is pre-release; it will be removed after the game goes live.
The OP wants a free move camera - also during movement - what is not possible anymore since a long time
