Avatar Goes Flying When Exiting Seat Underwater

Every time we drive a vehicle under the water in the game, when the player jumps out, the user goes flying across the map. This happens most when the player is half in and half out of the water while seated. The sudden application of water physics to the player makes them go flying and this issue has been around for years and we have tried finding several workarounds to no avail. It would be great if there were a toggle to disable water physics or edit water physics. This would massively benefit the game and resolve this bug for me and other games.

Expected behavior

The player should not go flying when exiting the seat underwater or half underwater. Rather they should just jump out and be swimming with no flinging involved.

Thanks for reporting!

Looks like the video didn’t upload properly. Would it be possible to make a reproduction file that demonstrates this behavior?

That is quite the launch! Could you please attach the corresponding .rbxl file?

Thanks!

Simply drive the car into the water and jump out. Even the vehicles made by you guys have this issue, albeit much less frequently.

Awesome, thanks! We have some theories as to what’s going on, we’ll take a look soon.

I strongly encourage Roblox to add more functionality to water and I am confident that we would be able to solve the issue that way, such as disabling water physics entirely and just having it there for visuals. Editing the properties of water physics would also be absolutely massive so you can adjust the density of it and things of that nature.
