Important

To address a VFX issue all contents of the map have been raised by 2560 units above the 0 0 0 coordinates. For players this shouldn't affect anything however if anything seems misplaced vertically whether it is a collision or pathing for ai this is the reason why.

If you notice VFX (Bile, explosions or blood) randomly appearing at the 0 0 0 coordinates of the map (Directly below the bridge) please post about it so I can look into it. Below is an example of the issue. To answer any assumptions about this yes raising the map to a higher point was specifically because I couldn't figure out what was causing this problem. It may occur again in the future so I'll look for a more permanent solution if needed.

Other possible issues include ragdolls falling through terrain using per poly collisions. This includes both stumbled zeds as well as dead zeds. I'm still looking into what's causing this as this shouldn't be happening since the terrain didn't change. However this only occurred in editor so it may not be an issue.
