As the title says, is there any way (CVar or other in-game setting) to prevent the map from randomly 'jumping around' when in free-look spectator mode?

It's actually an intended behavior which can also be seen in the original CS. The cam switches between the spawn points to "preview" the map until you start playing.

Maybe I should auto-disable this as soon as there are players on the server. Never considered that it might be a problem.. oops.

Ahh... yes, I know what you're refering to now

The thing is, the predefined entity cam-locations are only cycled before you join a team (including spectators). Although, in the current version of CS this is rather pointless (as the semi-transparent menu screens hide most of the view).

After you join as a spectator, then the cycling stops.

Note though that I don't know about the behavior in the older versions of the game... the first version of CS that I started playing was on Steam in July of 2011.

That would be great
