Original Post
Ok I was walking about qwai leading a full squad, when we came across this house. I said "Ok? Guys come check this out". Then I got a "uhhhh Squad Leader do you see the house there?", everyone on my sqaud said that they also saw this weird graphics artifact which is proof that It was not just my machine screwing up.

EDIT
I found a few more locations where this bug occurs, if it is a bug at all.

Location 1
This building/shed here, on Operation Archer

The location is pretty obvious, as you can see the Mountain base in the backround.

Location 2
Another location is here on Al Basrah, this rooftop far south west of the city center...

And no, I didn't park that chopper there...

Yep, a far east mythical person has cursed that house forever.

Um...are we still talking about PR or World of Warcraft, dark matter shield, far east mythical person WTH
Anyways, on map last night, couldn't find the place...whats the grid/location???

WNW of north bridge by about 150M.

Be careful though... Walk through the door and you may end up on the Plains of Aziroth! /Nerd

One of the houses in that area..

Instead of making new thread I just used this old one which I already created earlier.

Look at the edited original post on Page 1 of this thread.

Yep, I've seen the shed on Archer as well.

There is a simple explanation for all of this. Project Reality is haunted by a ghost house.

i think this is a BF2 Graphical bug. Not much [R-Dev]'s can do about it i think.

I love the one on qwai, it looks like the house had a fire

its radar absorbent paint thats why it doesn't show up on your map

That or fudged lightmaps. I just ran lightmaps on mine and got a black building. So Im gonna try deleting the lightmaps for all that type of building and just running those again.

Ill post back here if I remember.

Yes, relightmapping fixes it...

This is not a bug at all i have had this on CSS before but never on PR on either of the maps you said you saw the "bug" on. Its something to do with your graphics card and DX

off topic, I took the liberty of resizing your signature image. Please refer to the forum rules the next time you make one, thanks

On topic, I dont know for sure if it card related or lightmaps, but im seriously leaning towards lightmaps as it only happened after I ran lightmaps and it failed halfway. A few objects were all black which makes me think it was due to its crashing during the lightmapping... :shrug: its not a really big deal anyway, its rare enough
