Punch glitch is a bug that is exclusively encountered on the PlayStation 3 Jak and Daxter Collection.
Technical
During the development of the PC port for Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, it was discovered that punch glitch was occurring.
The issue is the acos in logic-target.gc. In PCSX2/PS2 it can never quite return 0.0. But on PC it does, and it causes 0/0 instead of 0/very-small-number. This is used as the input to a slerp and it ends up setting the output quaternion to 0 0 0 0. Over the next 2 frames, this completely breaks the dir-targ and unknown-quaternion00 and the target/camera rotation matrix ends up being identity. This sudden change rotates jak's velocity so it is entirely in the global x direction.
My understanding is that this should only happen when the dir-targ aligns with jak's velocity exactly. It may only be catastrophic if the camera is also aligned so that pushing forward on the stick will move jak in this direction.
I don't think the location has anything to do with it. It's possible that it only happens on ground that's perfectly level but I don't know. Instead, I think it tends to happen in places where people are lined up well with the camera and punching in/out of the camera exactly.
