Use W/S to move

Basically ever since I switched over to Havok (coming from Cannon) I have been trying to resolve this issue.  
It seems a physics body cannot go over a certain velocity / force applied.

Is that just the case with Havok or is there a way to address this?

Thanks.

> Raggar is precisely correct. The default cap on linear velocity is 200 m/s (which is about two thirds the speed of sound, so pretty fast :)). This default limit this not due to objects going through each other, as we always use continuous collision detection, but rather it’s likely a mistake to have bodies moving at that speed. As Cedric suggested, if your object feel like they’re moving slowly, you might want to check the scale of your scene and ensure that the objects are correctly sized. Whi…

Much appreciated, thanks.  
Been searching the forums like 2 weeks ago, missed your thread 🙂
