Crazy stepped/corrugated terrain at KSC - any ideas?

[eddiew]

KSP: 1.0.4 Windows 32 bit

Problem:

This is intermittent, and usually goes away after a game restart. It does not seem to be the result of hitting a memory ceiling and can be on the first launch after starting the game.

I have absolutely no idea what to search for to find similar problems, whether it's a mod, or whether it's stock (because it's intermittent and I can't figure out how to cause it).

Anyone seen anything like this and could suggest a cause? Sometimes I go hours without seeing it, so playing the elimination game with mods could take weeks

Well, without a list of your mods and an output_log.txt file we're shooting blind. My first thought is that the planet's heightmap texture has been messed with (e.g. ATM incorrectly resampling and/or lossy compressing it)...

I do use ATM, now you mention it... I'll try removing it for next sesh. It's the intermittency and oddity of the problem that's stumped me, which is why I hoped someone might have seen it before and say "oh yeah, that's this thing" ^^;

Assuming it happens again, will post a log file. Fool that I am, I made this thread while I was at work
