I have black holes where I think hills should be getting rendered.







Changed video settings...changed airplanes...not all maps but the maps that have been run so far 2 in LWBlue, 1 in SEA1, and whatever is running in MW.

Still lots of inviso-hills after patch 2.  Hopefully they'll make it in patch 3.

Modest pc here, but all works fine with the exception of some little hills colors as in gyrene81 pictures.
They return to their original colors after some minutes of flight. No invisible hills spotted.

I had the same thing happen to me with invisible hills but when I went to check the film the hills magically appeared in film.

The invisible hills are nearly impossible to detect from the air, and even difficult to spot from the ground because.. well because they are invisible!  HAHA

But seriously.. they aren't just invisible.. they also are 'X-ray' in a sense that all trees and buildings behind them disappear, but the ground and the roads still appear through the invisible 'window' that is the hill.

In a way, this actually makes them harder to spot from a distance.. until you are right up on them...

Ill be looking for this bug in the next few days. What mode are you running in, detail or non detail terrain.

Also if some one finds a way to reproduce I will love to see it.

I've seen the same thing.  Running 1024 w/ Hi-res. All details maxed (with shadows at 2K and "on others" off).

One I know for sure about is:
Map: Baltic
Sector: 11, 10
When driving from V40 spawn to P36 you will run into one.


Would upload pics but my internet decided it doesn't want me to.

Lets not get too confusing here.  I believe the square boxes around the trees were fixed in 2.19, so make sure that you've seen this occur after the 2.19 update before reporting it as a bug.

Hitech, in my case (of the invisible x-ray hills) I was running hi-res, 1024 textures, all advanced options on EXCEPT for shadows.  I sent a film in per page one of this thread.

If you weren't talking to me, then don't worry about it  :cheers:

Detailed terrain. Mostly from what I've seen by towns
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.
