Hair Physics bug - long hair

Since the new patch on 11/7, I have noticed that on long hair it sticks up strangely in the front like it is 'sitting' on something. I've only noticed this on the 3 longest hairs when looking through the character creation. I wasn't sure if this had been mentioned yet, however I know my friend was making a report as well since she was having the same issue.  I have attached 2 pictures to show what the hair is currently doing.

Thank you!

    I have two other pictures. I tried turning off the hair strands, and that seemed to get rid of the worst of the issue. But when turning Strands back on the issue came back. Below is with Strands turned on.  just replying to this to add the pictures.

    Exactly the same for me. I've had to change the hair to something shorter. Anything that goes past the outfit's collar or rook's shoulders has this problem and the less bulky the outfit, the more pronounced the problem becomes.
    I know the patch had a "fix" for long hair and armour issues but it's baffling to me that it's been listed as a fix when it's so obviously  made things much worse.
    It's so frustrating because the hair physics were one of my absolute favourite things about the game. I hope it can be fixed soon. My Rook isn't the same without her long hair :(

      I can feel that. I don't wanna play my Rook with short hair too. I hope this bug will be fix soon.

  • I thought it was just me. My character has the long curly hair, out here looking like Merida from Brave. After the patch, when I'm at the Lighthouse, it doesn't flow correctly behind her anymore, but when I leave the Lighthouse, it flows like it did before the patch.

    Ugh, I have the "show helmet" option turned off so I can see my awesome hair. I hope they roll back this patch, for real.šŸ˜‚

    I know I should probably make a new post with this, but I'll add it here again. I have attached a video with the hair issue, since Steam added the option to take video now. I know this issue probably came up from them trying to get the hair to not clip so bad with heavier armors, but I think I personally would prefer the clipping over it floating.

      Gah, that looks terrible. I too would prefer to see my hair lying slightly through my armor or clothes than have it floating all unnaturally.
