Title: Film bug with Somme map
Post by: Spikes on June 28, 2020, 01:48:42 PM
I turned off auto-record so I could film an hour's worth of film and not have to save. This was in SEA1 for the WW1 combat challenge. I encounter a weird map issue but and I am not sure if it is fix-able or not. After my first death and re-spawn, the terrain kind of goes away and never comes back. This is on the somme terrain. I can watch the entirety of the film, but the terrain is just mostly water.

Is this some sort of object bug with the film viewer? Film attached.

I also tried to delete the somme terrain and let it re-download...but no dice.
An example of what it looks like after a death:

Your film looks ok on my end.

I tried on my laptop and it downloaded the terrset02 so I deleted that from the desktop as well and let it re-download, that fixed it. Crisis averted!

Well, this worked once, but it went back to how it was before. Tried deleting somme and terrset2 again but no luck this time.

I get that a lot almost on any film, any terrain, if I mess with the film. If I play it strait thru in most cases its ok. If I rewind or fast forward I start getting the artifacts like you posted. Often its a base tile that flips up like that. If I continue to use the viewer it will crash. Closing and restarting the viewer squares it away again......until the next time.

Hmm. I have encountered those oddities in the past but never like this. It is only with these films/this map. If I close the viewer and re-open it doesn't help. I am just hoping it may be some other corrupt file or easy fix so I don't lose 2 hours of WW1 footage. :(
