    Map validation tool overly sensitive

    it feels like the validation tool is more sensitive in Far Cry 5 than Far Cry 4 ,I keep getting messages about objects clipping through eventhough I placed them far from other object and a bit from the ground just to see how the validation tool would react
    So my advice is not just save often incase the editor crashes but also use validation tool often in case you are not already doing that.


    Had to remove and redo these objects and run the validation tool over and over again to try and detect the problem .

    I'm not sure this will help at all, because I'm running into my own weird validation issues, but you can double click on the validation error and it will take you to the object it thinks matches the validation error. That said, I had a validation error with a car and AI standing too close and it turned out to be a completely different vehicle. But...sometimes it works ok.

    A metal crate is added every time i validate. Very strange.

    I've had a few instances where I'd go into explore to test my map with no issues, then going into explore again (with no edits) would give me clipping errors on objects like generic shapes (which should be 100% clippable.)

    Restarting the game fixed these issues for me.

    I had a spawn point validate fine. It was placed on the terrain in a fern bush.

    Next time I validated it showed as the spawn area was not clear. Tried a 3rd time and it validated again. I had done nothing, didn't move anything. Maybe the wind blows the fern over part of it?
