Getting stuck in the jagged landscape

[Bragan]

The new wilderness with the "sharper edges" shows a remarkable tendency to ensnare hapless adventurers, such that an /unstick is necessary. Hills that yesterday were perfectly climbable, I suddenly cannot get through, nor can I climb back down. I've rolled back (0.4.01 installer) to see if this would fix the problems, and it did.

Something else, and I don't know if it's related, is that on-screen models seem to be out of sync with the heightmap -- I've been both waist-deep in earth and about two, three feet above it at various points. The heightmap doesn't seem to have changed though.

I only tried for a few minutes, but 'strafing' while you walk helps in the worst areas. It looks ugly like <insert word> and I wouldn't recommend using it while other people are around.

I encountered similar "problems" yesterday. Not only couldn't I find my favoured mining spots but I also gut stuck twice in 2 minutes, walked above ground or waist-deep through a slope. Also found some items hanging in midair, probably due to the same heightmap problem.

I never knew there were so many little hills on the way to Oja... ;-)

Same here. I even completely dived under the map at the base of the big slope on ojaroad 1 before reaching the portal between ojaroad 1 and 2. I hope you get an idea which spot I'm talking about 

On the bright side, I don't lag on ojaroad 2 any more (haven't checked bdroad 2 with the new maps yet). However, the other wilderness areas could have stayed unchanged imho 

EDIT:

The major change is the usage of the new terrain, which at the moment has sharper edges, but enabled us to use the same lighting engine for all levels. The visual result should be better lighting. We are still working on improving it.

Ok, I understand why the change now  . Keep it up

Don't know if this is a linux-only problem or not, but I find I can't even walk in flat areas on oja road now.  It's as if I have to make my way through invisible obstacles that I can't see.  Everything looks completely flat, but I keep sticking on unseen things every few steps and have to jump over them.

Is there any information as to which files are responsible for the change? Is it the actual <mapname>.zip files, or is there something in the executable itself? That is, could I run the update and just roll back the problematic maps?

Reach the portal, but for what?

Woah!

*sigh* same problem.  Can't walk on a road anymore.  I've found constantly jumping helps keep you moving, but drains your stamina faster.  This is pretty frustrating.

it will be fixed as soon the next client update is released.

I was on for about 2 hours this evening. I did not get stuck once. I notice the update smoothed some of the jagged landscape, but I was happy not to continue getting stuck. Also, I didn't spontaneously lose stamina once. I did update... but had to use the --CheckIntegrity option or it told me no update was available.
