Thanks for the post. When this happens is it consistent? It sounds like you're being boxed in alright, which might be to prevent players from getting to locations to exploit the AI.

    It happens immediately after a climbing animation on almost all maps. The jetpack animation is there, but it doesn't lift me off. This happens on FB Icebreaker for example, when climbing the highest rooftop (with the 2 sniper nests). There's like a small gap with ice inbetween the two parts of the roof near a supply crate (see pic below). I thought it was connection problems before, but this happens even when I play privately. I play with keyboard and mouse*
