I'm getting a sudden strange error with water where the personal space around an NPC or player standing in water, like the sewer water in the IC, just disappears. It's a perfect circle around the character, but the rest of the water surface is rendered. Any ideas on why this would suddenly happen?

Somebody has been messing with the ugridstoload setting !! -- setting it above the default of 5 creates problems like that around water - reset it to 5 and the problem should go away.

No, it's set at 5; It's not been changed. Any other ideas?

EDIT: I just reloaded the game the second time and now the problem is gone. Now that's one strange bug.
