Big area - hardware issues

[Feralidragon]

As some of you might know, when you you make a very big area (like subtracting a 40.960x40.960x40.960 cube), some hardware show that with no problems at all, and other hardware show it with large HOMs.

My question is: is there the possibility or any render setting to solve this in that problematic hardware?

I would really apreciate that someone has the "cure", because I am about to build an entire new gametype (sort of) and it DEMANDS large open areas.

I guess this is more or less normal. But if you give these surfaces later "Fack Backdrop" (of course with a skybox) you will not have this problem anymore. Take a look at some UT04 ONS Maps, there is the same if you have the skybox "disabled". So, dont worry about this.

But I think that I already tried that and the result was the same... well I will try it again to see if I really tried that.
I will give feedback later...

Even with a 65536 x 655536 x 20000 cube I have none of these bsp holes.. very interesting. And with skybox I have no problems, too.

Yeah, I don't have any problems at all in my computer. But in my father-in-law's computer (which is very very similar to my own, it changes only in the graphic card), it shows those annoying HOMs.

I searched, and it is an hardware issue indeed, but maybe there's a way to avoid it, so I asked.

EDIT: I made a mistake, those happen in my computer too, but only in windowed mode (software rendering), that's why I asked maybe a render setting...

two options, one has been mentioned and that would be making all of the perimeter walls with fake backdrop properties, the other way is it has to be split into zones....

Well, I guess i didn't tried the skybox after all (which is strange, I was really convinced that I already had tried that and didn't work), and it worked. The only thing now is the floor (the only surface that isn't "fakedropped" of the box) is cut in the edges when you look directly at them from a far distance, at the same spot where the HOMs were. But that's ok, it does not make that difference.

Well, I think that I can make the new gametype after all, once the maps are now possible everywhere (I would just need distance fog, but I guess that's too much to ask LOL)

Thanks all
