    Thanks for the post. I'd be interested if this is happening more near slopes or ledges, and if anyone has any clips of it happening, to help replicate specific circumstances. 

  • I've started leveling up Corn more and have been seeing some of this. It makes sense when he jumps up and catches on something like a building or tree or something, but sometimes he just doesn't seem to hop up at all with no obstacles. Just sort of slides a short distance on the ground while upside down. Doesn't happen a lot but it's a weird glitch. Not sure if his hits land when he does this. I'll pay more attention when if I see it again.

    Its generally all the abilities that launch player characters. It happens with Husk Hop. It happens with Rocket Ride. It happens with Gravity Smash. It happens with Hyper Jump Thump.

    For whatever reason you are glued to the ground.

    Last time i had it was with Husk Hop in Ops on a flat sand surface. A couple enemies in front of me, especially Electric Slides. I was just stuck in place on ground level.

    Another one was with Rocket Ride. I was on stairs behind the grave and wanted to use the ride to hit the boss at the grave location. In the end all i got was to shoot the stairs.

    I think the ground level collision detection for the ability somehow glitches through the floor so the player character itself applies standard walking height.
