Dynamic Detail only worked once for me with quartz.a, I cannot get it to show up anymore no matter what setttings I  use.

Moved from another thread.

To add to this, dynamic detail only renders in the radius that is set in the options. Once you go outside of that radius the grass no longer render past that boundary. It takes a restart to make it render again in the radius of your current position, then the same thing happens, only renders within your radius. This is in the player client btw, haven't tested in the blade yet.

It's broken in the blade as well. Won't render at all for me, and if you enable them it seems to crash the game on a resize.

they still only load around the character as you enter a area , and do not refresh with camera movement. Not sure if you were trying to fix this with this patch.

Happening in Quartz.B as well.

We have tested in your development world and the behavior of dynamic details looks correct to us. Can you please email support@heroengine.com with specific reproduction step to see the behavior you are seeing. Include these things in your report to help us track down the issue:
1. area name
2. name of a GM note that positions the camera correctly to observe the issue when possible
3. all steps necessary including any commands we would need to run to reproduce the issue

Thank You.

Its not a camera angle issue , its as if the detail system thinks the camera has not moved from where it arrived in the area. To reproduce this enter a area that already has dynamic details and the walk or move outside the the initial "patch" . if you move to a adjacent area and then back to a different spot the details will appear there, but stay fixed.

As you implied it works as expected elsewhere i just checked fantasy lowland , and they appear to work correctly there . maybe its something to do with the billboard textures . very confused now.

edit : its a small area , but there is a blank patch in one corner with a very straight edge , it might not be a good example of it functioning

We are having the exact same issue, posted here https://community.heroengine.com/forums/index.php/topic,5399.msg30467.html#new . To reproduce the issue, create a grid heightmap 1000x1000, paint the entire area with a dynamic detail. Logout and relog in, go into character mode, run in any single direction, the grass will stop rendering eventually(varies depending on what the distance setting was when painted). If you relog again, notice the grass will render around the radius of the character again. Run again in any single direction, grass will stop rendering eventually.

Same thing here if it helps, the grass shows up and if I move around it doesn't update. If I minimize and restore the blade the grass shows up (if that helps any) but still doesn't update past that point if I move again.

Also, if you need a zone to test it in.

Plymouth City on our server.

Thanks.

It looks like the last remaining of these issues is now fixed in the next hotfix, it had to do with camera updates relating to dyd. Here's hoping. As I'm sure we're all tired of dynamic detail by now.
