| Unless it's a bug, the idea would be NOT to jump. I recall being successful after a few attempts using this method.
#1. Climb up the ladder almost to the peak. The idea is to give yourself a slight bit of room between the top of your head and the ceiling.
#2. Do not attempt to clear the virtual space by jumping. Instead, move your viewing angle to face the the entrance of the duct while remaining stationary otherwise.
#3. Once you have the duct centralized on screen, proceed forward.
I believe that you should fall into the duct rather easily, at least, it works for me so far. I do not believe patches would change something this fundamental in the engine unless there was a bug that needed fixing. |
