Linden Lab™ wants comparative metrics…

…because apparently they never tested it themselves, and weren’t aware (or don’t believe) that you cannot jump as high in Havok 4 as you could in Havok 1 :

Can you provide us with Comparative metrics for this? are you noticing this difference without your AO on?

Since it is no longer possible to generate "comparative metrics" without access to a Havok 1 sim, I suggest that anyone else who has noticed decreased jump height head on over to JIRA-1975 and let them know that it’s not just "in our heads".

I am not promising they’ll do anything about it, they seem to be steadfastly ignoring other issues that affect C:SI, but it would sure be great to let them know that we’ve noticed, even if they haven’t.

    The beta grid has Havok 1 available for comparison testing. I have noticed this as well and it’s most certainly not in our heads. Voting for the issue, and if I get around to it I’ll get numbers on the beta grid.

    I made a brief post about it on my blog. I don’t get many readers, but maybe someone will see it and vote for the issue.
