Under havok 4, the height the avatar can jump to is massively decreased. For reference, by jump, I mean tapping the e or PGUP key without holding it down.

This is a problem, as it breaks a lot of content. The Jump animation in my AO, fdor instance, is designed arounmd the avatar jump height, so that I spin gracefully in the air and land on my feet. Under H4, I hit the ground mid-spn.

This also causes problems for any area which uses jumping. Obstacle courses, and such. Which are based around the avatar's capabilities and adjusted to match.

Please fix this soon.

Edit: statistics.

I used the script detailed below to obtain these results.

Havok 4:
[8:16] Object: Jump height was: 2.803389
[8:16] Object: Jump height was: 2.813299
[8:17] Object: Jump height was: 2.804680

approximately 2.8 metres.

havok 1:

[8:20] Object: Jump height was: 3.964437
[8:20] Object: Jump height was: 3.969215
[8:20] Object: Jump height was: 3.969231

approximately 3.96

A loss of over 1 metre in jump height.
