Anyone with a tip on jumping fences?

[Bateau]

So the game is beautiful, the game is playable, the game is worth buying but I have been off for quite a while to wait for a more complete game.
The game is in Alpha but the devs are updating regularly. Update #18, yay! Update #19, yay! Update #20, yay! Look at all the stuff that they have improved and fixed, awesome!
But after all this time away and I still can't jump a friggen fence!?
I'm sure it has to be user error. If so, what am I missing? Any tips? What control am I missunderstanding?
For the love of God, please don't tell me that with all the development, all the detail, all the effort, that I seriously can't jump over an f-ing fence.

eh.... as far as my experience goes, the fence needs to be short enough to jump or you need access to an elevated jumping area.

I, too, was a bit annoyed that I couldn't simply jump/climb over some fences. I spent like 2 minutes trying to climb over a brick fence lol.

So for now, they are like an insurance/safety policy if you're on the other side running from melee people / mutants. But I hope it gets addressed in the future.

In one of the older pacthes they made it so you cant strafe while jumping because people were exploiting it.
A tip i can give you is to run and jump, back up a bit from the fence, spring towards it and jump so you'll have the sprint boost.

I've gotten stuck on fences before so I wouldn't advise jumping them unless you're feeling risky

never had a problem with jumping fences that would be to the point to say to people you advised not to jump its either you can jump the fence or not and move along . if your ontop of the fence just walk off . the same way if you where on a car etc.

Ive always found jumping slightly earlier than you think you should always helps, when sprinting at a fence. I think it gives you that extra split second to gain alittle more height.

definately - i found that you do have to jump slightly earlier than you think you should

also some of the white picket fences around some house are not jumpable - but visually they look like they should be

can be annoying

at some point you learn which fence you can jump.. and how to do it.. often the ground isn't flat. is goes down one side more then the other.. so you need to jump over the fence going downhill not uphill. so you jump on a lower part of the fence
