F5 13.3 fw gps height profile issue.

After 13.3 fw update in last wednesday and at my first outdoor run today morning in a completely open area (no buildings or tree's) something strange was happen with gps... Started well and a few minutes lost completely the Heights accuracy of terrain.

Track and distance was well recorded... it's the first time that happens to my F5.

Anyone had the same problem?

To return to the previous fw is only paste the file into the garmin f5 root folder and install it?

Thks for help.

same here,when next to the sea, altitude is negative,bike ride starts, at plus 40 meters,fenix 5 with latest update.

strange, but total ascent /descent seems to be fairly correct, few meters off.

GPS is useless, shows -2 meters although I'm 95 meters above sea level. (13.3fw)

What was atmospheric conditions like? I had same issues on other Garmins, but that was always where it became misty or you rode/ran into low clouds or conditions changed to affect barometer, which is what calculates elevation.
