Odd Displacement Wireframe issue

[SiniStarR]

Went into wireframe mode, and on some parts of my maps, the displacements show the way they should. But in others..its an entire different story, see for yourself.

Im sure its not a leak because my area portals run fine and the log doesn't mention anything about a leak and theres no visual problems either. Does anyone have an idea why it could be causing this?

hate to say it.. but it realllly looks like a leak =p

 

[SiniStarR]

but then why wouldnt it effect anything?! both areaportal and visually? if it is a leak do you have any idea what would cause the leajk>

It's not a leak. It's just an issue with the way wireframe mode works with displacements. It generally happens where there is no (or little) world geometry being rendered. Nothing you can do... deal with it

omg thank you so much ABS, i would have....well...not sure, but im glad to know its not me.

Yeah, you're getting the Hall of Mirrors effect because there is nothing being rendered beyond those displacements. The fact that it sometimes renders sky instead of HOM is just happenstance.

so this wont effect the map in anyway its just an error with the wireframes am i right?

Yup, I get this all the time with mat_wireframe. It's really distracting when your trying to optimize.
