    Is this a PS4 glitch, or are other platforms the same?

    I'm talking about some maps getting a giant square tower in the distance that goes from the ground to the top of the map and doesn't appear to be anything to do with anything but it comes and goes as you swing round, and you can walk though it if you get close enough. I'm wondering if it's a PS4 only thing or do you get this on other platforms? I imagine it's something to do with getting close to some budget limit and the game engine getting confused a bit.

    Are you talking about Terrain Spikes ?
    These can sometimes be almost like a cone going into a spike but huge or also large blocks of terrain, usually if you point the sights and then turn at the blink of an eye they will be gone but turn back and they will pop in and out of view again.

    I don't fully remember the cause some said it can be tree stumps do you have some of these in your map - dead tree stumps ? I thin one specific type caused it in SETHO-1's swamp map, he removed the offender and the map was fine.

    Seen these in a handful of maps and almost all got rid of them, it appears to be a glitch / bug.

    It's definitely a terrain bug, and when you have a look at them in the editor (not my maps, other people's) they do appear to be more prevalent in ones that are close to maxing out, so I think it's a memory thing probably.
