hello everyone. I don’t see any surface weather effects like wet stones or rain on skin but my wife does. I read somewhere that this may have something to do with the character’s height, which I had at really tall. So I shortened him and saw the effects. Made him tall again and they went away.

It seems like anything past approximately the middle of the slider, causes surface effects such as wet surfaces on ground, skin, rooftops etc., to disappear.

As I post I see similar topics on the side and I am wondering if this is a known issue that is being worked on. I’d love to have my character at the intended hight 🙂

When making your character, there’s 3 silhouettes that show the height. I find if you select anything that isn’t in the middle range, your character is broken in some ways.  
I never noticed the lack of rain drops, but when I was in the “small” range my character was partly invisible during the opening cutscene. Bumped it up to the lowest in the mid range, and that problem went away.

I wonder if there is a fix for this. I would much rather my character be taller. More importantly, this really shouldn’t be a thing. I just wonder why it isn’t fixed.

Moreover if you were too tall you could have difficulties while leaving elevator through at least some of the doorframes. I had to press “C” and my clanmate passed this doorframe without any problem.

This has to be something they are aware of and aiming to fix. At least I hope they are.
