Environmental & Terrain Strange Terrain near Special Locations and Discoverables [Possibly Integrated Graphics Related]

Title: Strange Terrain near Island Runway

Specs: see attached DxDiag.txt (yes, I know my laptop is below minimum specs, but the game still runs, and should have no effect on this bug)

Severity: low

Frequency: high - consistent across saves and reloads

Description: 

 

There appears to be unusual terrain near the runway on the island near the KSC. It is very jagged with overlapping ridges and looks like a terrain modeling issue.

If this is intentional (like an easter egg I don't understand), just let me know and close this bug report.

Reported Version: v0.1.4 (latest) | Mods: none | Can replicate without mods? Yes 
OS: windows | CPU: 11th gen i7 | GPU: Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics | RAM: 16

 

Frequency: medium-low (happens at the specific locations only, but every time at those locations)

Severity: high (nearly impossible to land at location, without quicksaves, this bug is a mission ender)

 

At specific locations, the terrain can sometimes corrupt or warp, into steep waves and/or spikes, making it nearly impossible to land at that location. It is only visible when up close to the terrain; within the ~1 km range. The corruption makes steep waves and spikes in a relatively small area (~250x250m), but will follow the player as they move; meaning the total corruption is a much larger patch of terrain that what the player can initially see. The terrain reverts back to normal when the player leaves.

 

This seems to happen mostly at locations of interest. All anomalies are affected from what I've found, but other places of interest, like the dres canyon and the bop crater are also affected at times. Other seemingly random patches of terrain, like a patch of the minmus flats, or an edge of a crater on minmus, also have been affected.

 

I have verified a few times now that, while some locations seem random, this corruption is in the same locations, across all saves. I have verified that it is still in patch 0.1.4.0, in the same locations as previous versions.

 

As to what is causing it, I've only ever seen one other person have this issue, and the only thing we had in common as far as I could tell, was that we both had integrated graphics. (In-game, it seems to be in places where terrain was specifically changed/altered, to give it a certain feature, like the bop crater and the anomalies, but I have no way to properly verify this, so take it with a grain of salt)

I’m not alone! I’ve had this same issue, also on integrated graphics. I’ve found that it consistently happens at the Easter eggs objects. In other experiences, the corrupted terrain follows my craft while makes landing less than ideal

The terrain disappeared when heading to the Mun Arch.

There's a deep hole almost reaching the Mun's core.

When descending down to a celestial body terrain will sometimes become jagged as you get closer. Have had this happen to me when landing at Dres, Tylo and The Mun although there are probably more locations.

Do have mods installed though this happened without mods as well.

I can confirm what others have said about odd terrain near the Mun and Minmus discoverables. Here are some screenshots of my own.

Also, I don't think this is integrated graphics related. I've seen this bug appear in videos from KSP YouTubers who have PCs with dedicated graphics cards (I assume).

Edit: the YouTuber below is using Intel Iris Xe graphics as well, my bad.

The Mun hole:

 

In this mission, Smooneychad actually goes into the hole, which makes him fall into the center of the Mun and then slingshots him out of the Kerbin system at 20 km/s.

I expected to visit the Mun arch to claim science points and progress in science mode.

I was unable to visit Mun arch because there's a gigantic mohole-like hole under it for about half a kilometer around.

I'm not sure how to replicate the behavior since the buggy element is the environment. I landed 7.9km away and walked to the structure.

As shown in the figure below, I have discovered a terrain bug in Minmus. Minmus has many terrains that resemble small mounds and are particularly dense.
This terrain is very dangerous for landing on landers.
Looking forward to your reply and repair!

@1052186040, merged your bug report. It's because you have an iGPU which is unsupported right now.
