How to Fix Sticky Geometry

The Problem

Have you ever been moving around the world, when you suddenly get too close to a certain wall that eats your dash's movement? Have you ever noticed how the tower in Battlemode's Tundra map is a complete dead-zone that makes you unable to move or dash if you get too close to it's walls? Have you ever walked off a ledge and noticed your horizontal speed be immediately reduced to nothing?

All of these issues are apparently caused by one absolutely horrible system pertaining to movement on ledges. Some time ago I discovered a way to disable this system, and I figure I should also post this information here.

Requirements

To fix this problem, you MUST:

1. Have an unlocked console - so you can execute the console command that fixes the problem. You can obtain this, simply by running the game's mod injector once (no mods needed).

2. Execute this command each time you launch the game. (Or setup a way of having the command auto-execute every launch, but this guide doesn't cover these techniques)

WARNING: Public BATTLEMODE Games

This command fixes longstanding, arguably game-breaking bugs with the game's movement system. However, third-party tools are ultimately required to make this command accessible. Therefore, utilizing this in public Battlemode games (or private Battlemode games without the consent of other players), would be considered cheating and is an actionable offense. If planning on playing public Battlemode games, remember to restart your game, or reset the command, before playing.
