Bug: Jumping height decreased.
I have a weird bug that practically halfed my jumping height and I'm unable to fix it. It's on a lvl 120 character and just started to occur recently.

The save files of my last 10 hours of progress are infected, earlier saves of the same character work fine, meaning nromal jumping animation. The bugged jump is about half as high and the animation is a little bit sped up.

I have just a couple of mods, none of them change the jump mechanic and uninstalling all of them didn't fix it. Neither did the "recycleactor" console command on myself.

Using the console command to edit player jump height can increase my jump height, but the animation speed is still much higher, causing me to fall quicker und making me have a hard time climbing low obstacles. So that isn't a fix either, even though it makes it a tiny bit better.

Has anybody maybe an idea how to fix this?

I won't sacrifice 10 hours of progress for this.

Sounds like you are encumbered. Dump some of the loot you are hoarding =)

Checked it already, not emcumbered.

There is no jumping penalty for being encumbered, anyway.

Thanks for the answer, though.

Sounds like a VSync/fps unlock issue

The game has you jump at half height when it runs at 120 fps.

Edit:
For those who say you the game cannot run properly over 60 fps..
It can. The physics are limited to 120 fps, some other aspects of the game such as your own character behave a little bit differently to the higher framerates but I haven't seen anything else after hours on end

I don't even have lipsync weirdness :)

Then just install the "Jump that fence" mod from nexus, which just doubles the jump height, evening it out to vanilla jumps

As I said: Only my last 10 hours of saves are affected, I can load up a previous save and it works fine, normal jump height and speed. Has nothing to do with fps, capping/reducing it makes no difference, i tried. I believe my fps was capped at 60 from day 1 anyway, the game is too badly optimized for my hardware to take on >60fps without fluctuating heavily.

And i also said editing jump height still leaves me with increased jumping speed, which sucks regardless of jump height. I shoot up at twice the speed and then shoot down again drastically reducing the distance I can jump.

Feels terrible, looks goofy and affects gameplay in a ngeative way :-/

Thanks for trying to help, though!

So I had this issue too, but while I was reading this I did some tweaking and searching.

1. If your monitor has a high refreshrate set it to whatever FPS you want, mine is set at 120.
2. If you have an NVIDIA CPU, go into the control panel, go down the left side of the window and click on Manage 3D Settings. Once in there you can go to program settings, search for Fallout 4, and turn on VSYNC and Max Frame Rate to whatever your refresh rate is.
3. Go to the nexus and download High FPS boost Physics Fix. Ill link it here: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/44798

It worked for me, so hopefully this works for you! :D

Just wanted to thank you for your info. I was having this jumping issue and didn't want to resort to modding, so switched my fps to 60 (it wasn't capped at anything before) and it fixed my issue. Really appreciate this!

Glad you fixed the problem, I have a jump height mod using MCM its set at 400 which basically means I can jump 4x the normal jump height very handy for jumping on roofs when in build mode or even in some gunfights kinda like in borderlands lol. The only thing with it is I have to just set it everytime I access the the game on startup, open MCM and close MCM then I am good to go, which is not an issue for me. You can also change your running speed have that set at 95.

If you read two posts above yours. Yes.

Cap your monitor to 60 fps. This is a direct result of running the game higher than the engine's expected 60 fps.

the console command Setgs fjumpHeightMin 300 worked better for me than any of these other solutions :tobdog: edit: use a lesser value number if you don't wanna hero landing everywhere w power armor :tobdog: :tobdog:

Changing the fps no longer fixes this. Rediculous

It worked for me. Are you sure you set them on 60?
Mister Steven May 21, 2024 @ 11:55am 
Worked for me too

I can confirm that setting it to 60 FPS works. However, that is a stupid solution in my opinion. The "jump that fence" mod didn't work for me. Glad for any better recommendations!

The game engine is designed to run at 60 FPS. Going too far above that causes issues as the engine is tied to your FPS. That is just the way the game works.
