Last year that spot in the club was the place to be SMILEY


The larger buildings, like Kalt Chemicals and such, have some leaks as well near the edges of the buildings. I don't quite understand how it works, as when it normally rains, we don't get rained out of those floors.. SMILEY

I wasnt going to make a big deal about this but since theres a thread on it, i did find several buildings in my holiday ticket mission that had leaks near the edges of them. Usually starts around 5ft inside the building from the nearest wall and is on all floors of the buildings. Wasnt really keeping track of locations of these buildings but i figured they would have fixed them by now after last years bug tickets.

The snow is a different environmental effect to the rain (they operate differently) that's why the inconsistencies.

You may have noticed that you can see snow when inside, near a window, but you can't see rain from inside.
Also at certain angles and in border locations (like near the edge of buildings or even on suburb borders) the snow particles get large and distorted due to some silly "value out of bounds" maths error.

Essentially the rain was built into the engine, but the snow is an afterthought that the engine doesn't properly allow for.

The snow leaks I believe are related to the similar issue they had of getting no snow under bridges.

There's buildings in Westview that do the same thing, and not the ones that are falling apart, even....

It may be a glitch, but it's a dang *PRETTY* glitch I'm glad we have.

Probably not, but the snow in the city itself was a later addition.

Here's what I got while doing a mission today.  Someone didn't seal the building's cracks before the winter weather hit!
