Fall Damage - 2m fall means death

[Moranios 1]

Hey there,

 

I am really confused. So far this game has been realistic. I don't know if it came with the latest Update (7.2.2014) but i just fell 2m and died instantly.

Before the Update I fell like 5m and only broke my leg. Anyway, I don't think its apropriate to die from a 2m or maybe 3m fall.

 

Is there anyone who experienced something like that?  Or was it my measurement of the height?

 

 

 

Good Night.

 -M.

i have actually found that i can fall from any height and nothing happens to me :)

 

i fell off the roof of the hospital in electro last night and was cursing myself when i hit the ground but the screen flashed to say i got hurt then went back to full health and i was grand, then i was up th north east at the crashed ship a little latter and fell out the ship into the middle where it splits and same again the flash of hurt but back to full health.

An update has dropped since then, adding the fall damage back in.

Falling damage is back in but I can drop from a one story building and only break my legs whereas before that would kill me.

That sounds quiet realistic to me.

It seems that the height measurement bugged at my place, since I fell from a narrow wall in a ruin south-east of the airfield (near Old Fields) which is no common place I'd say.
