Hiya, ok I think I understand. Well yes, in the game I think you play as someone about 2m tall, so yes you would be taller than the real you. I think that's kind of just a limitation of how the game was built.
I'm aware of the bug where it doesn't in multiplayer, it should in single player though. And yes I do plan to get to these in time. I've been a bit overwhelmed lately, but will get back to this.
