I know this forum has seen many terrain topics but I’ve searched for a fix to this. As far as I know I’ve done everything right yet I’m still running into problems.
-
The terrain has random cracks or tears. Here is a pic.
-
The alphamap seems to be messing up as well; what appears in game hardly relates to the alphamap.

I’ve been recreating and redoing this for a few days now and I can’t figure it out; I’ve done this successful so many times… I want to scream now.
