Fell into the earth and died, went back and repeated it. Seems to be a hole in the terrain.

The coordinates in the first pic are accurate.

Can you go back there multiple times and it always happens ? Or was it just a one off thing ? If it's not repeatable it's gonna be nigh impossible to track down.

Sometimes I think that falling through the earth is less a terrain issue than a code issue - I've fallen through the earth offline stepping out of the inf spawn twice but can never reproduce it. Maybe there is a tiny statistical chance that you can go to hell from anywhere.

I've fallen through ground upon spawning many times, the game usually crashed shortly after. There absolutely must be a non-terrain related issue too, likely just some memory overrun.

Yes, I went back online and fell through, then did it again in offline mode. And it's not that large, because I had to move around to find it, even with the coordinates. Originally, I flopped down in the bushline to take a look at something, so I knew it was in the bushes. If you go to the coordinates you'll see the bushline, and the spot is near a little tree in the bushline. Face toward Wellin from the bushes and move around.

EDIT: Here's a screenshot of the bushes. As you can see from the minimap, I'm looking SE, coming from Wellin. It's in those 2 green bushes next to the tree, and there's one of those seams where you hear a thump when you go over it. I couldn't get it to work standing, but going prone and moving back and forth over the bump will eventually get you into the ground and dead...

Ticket #2906. Closing this one because we have another thread open on this, and we don't want multiple threads dealing with the same issue.
