I can reproduce it here (btw it isn't a hole, only ground rendered black), did you try setting multisample buffers to zero? That (or disabling GLSL shaders) fixes it for me.

And the next post? The new attach is the one that surely show why the map fail to load many times.

Yes I forgot to mention it's a known bug. See here (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3411117&group_id=157793&atid=805242)

Edit:I found disabling dynamic lightning also 'fixes' it for me, but it turns battlescape very dark.
Oh and you probably should still report the first issue as Mattn asked

@DarkRain: if you have the time, please join our irc channel and talk to Sandro about the black-render-bug. He can't reproduce it and needs someone who can.

Maybe my video card is the guilty, I m using the on-board one, I remove the Radeon 2400 HD because is fan is damaged and overheat a lot.
Anyway the game as less bugs than Bethesda ones for example, I repeat: technically is a very good work.

@Mattn maybe on Wednesday I'll have some time (GMT-6 here)

As for Belcanzor's bug, after some testing I found the two last tiles in his map definition are missing from the actual map (both are +filler_m_a and they would fit perfectly in the hole, and btw you can walk on the hole), maybe its worth checking if this is related to bug #3411117 (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3411117&group_id=157793&atid=805242) (maybe the tiles were cut from the string?).

edit: should I post a bug report in the tracker? For my issue that is.

I don't know the background of bug #3411117 but there are two simple things that come to my mind.

#1. Find out exactly how large the strings can be. Check that strings generated are _not_ too large before trying to pass them. Note the problem in ufoconsole.log (and in the case of RMA try to generate another map?).

#2. Use something like https://github.com/antirez/smaz to compress the strings sent.
