Additional Notes

This issue only affects the biome mask

Consoles render the cliffs correctly; the issue appears PC-specific.

The problem started after v11

It’s been a while and this is still affecting my projects. Any updates would be appreciated

Hey spam bot,

This is not actually a TODM issue? As you can see it is an issue with the Biome Mask TEXTURE, nothing to do with lighting.

FORT-1036597 changed to ‘Needs More Info’. We’re missing information that would help us determine the source of the issue.

Yes, the texture “T_Hermes_BiomeMask” is broken on your side. It’s fixed on other consoles like Xbox Series X, I checked this myself. The issue is that the Chapter 6 biome mask is broken, and since that chapter has ended it likely won’t be updated anymore. We’re now in Chapter 7 and this is causing ch6 cliffs to appear plain white

Again, the broken texture is “T_Hermes_BiomeMask” after 39.11
