Crane and dead body physics are broken

Cranes behave like the cable is rubber and often the crane platform disconnects from the crane itself and flys off into the abyss. When Markus is on the platform at that moment, he dies. When you try to jump of a bouncing platform you also instantly die while still in the air.
Dead bodies start flying around after being shot. Sometimes you can see them bouncing around a full minute after they were killed.
The physics are currently fundamentally broken. Some missions that are essential to complete the storyline are undoable with the cranes jumping around like they do.

Yup definitely has some issues, but I got the game for $10 so I can't complain

Dynamic particles is the issue. Once that is disabled in the video settings, the game behaves better.

I noticed that, but always considered it a feature. I just assumed you had to be more careful with how you operate them, since moving them about too quickly or abruptly would cause cables to snap irl.

Does disabling Dynamic Particles affect anything else besides the crane cables? I also died a few times from the weird physics from the cranes so I might try disabling that next time... just not sure if it also effects the vehicles or water.

For me, disabling Dynamic Particles made the crane thrash around even wilder, if anything. I tried disabling a few other settings, to no avail. Would anyone have further suggestions for a workaround? This is a major embarrassment for the game. Oh well, add it to the list.

It's FPS (I put mine at 100) but I also disabled dynamic particles
