Since the update the camera control is now completely broken for controller support. The bug where the camera would not work on flight paths has been fixed but now its broken for every other aspect in the sense when you move the camera the character now does not face the direction of the camera.
The right stick camera movement went from a right mouse click and move to a left mouse click and move where the character direction is not snapping. This is causing issues in all content now where we cant control the direction of our auto run, our frontal cone and aimed spells, our teleports and blinks, if we are rooted or stopped in anyway we are screwed.
This needs to be reverted back ASAP or at least give the option or cvar to toggle the camera style on and off. Right now there are no cvar options available to control this and its being forced so we cant fix it ourselves.

I’m having the same problem and would really appreaciate having an option for the character to face the camera direction like it was pre 9.0.5.
Not being able to control the character during autorun makes it very hard to cast spells while moving, as we now have to keep a thumb on the left stick to move, making all the left buttons on the controller inaccessible.
Also a lot of players use a controller due to disabilities/injuries, and autorun made travelling around in wow much more manageable. Now we need to hold the left stick forward the entire time which can cause pain and fatigue problems.
There’s also another bug with autorun on controller in that it will sometimes cause your character to move at walking speed.

I logged in today, and I’m happy to report that the autorun now has our characters running instead of walking, but that’s the only thing that has been fixed. I still can’t use my right stick to move my character. I know that the majority of players don’t use a controller, but for people like me that do, it’s imperative that we have the option for the camera to follow our character. Thank you Blizzard for your attention to this issue.
Hi try this
/console GamePadTurnWithCamera 2
Turn character to match when camera facing is changed (1=in-combat, 2=always)
I had same issue, then I checked wowpedia fandom com and searched “Gamepad” and found it.
Edit: it resets every time I login, I disabled console port and the issue was gone , still trying to figure out , will check console port discord later.
