Is it just on the map Anctoville (1944)? If not, sounds like a shaders issue...

I play FH for many months, and only saw this problem yesterday at that map.
By the way, can you check for that bug too, by moving to the same location on the map?

Interesting; I'll check for it later today and post results.

Makes me wonder: do raccoons really just walk into your house by the catdoor? And are raccoons as violent as they are always portrayed, or can they get as domesticated as a cat?

I suppose they could be as violent as Hollywood portrays them, but I wouldn't necessarily consider it the norm. We used to have a few racoons that hung around our place a while back that got along with the cats and would actually eat with them (outdoors). They can also be domesticated as pets, too. As long as you go through the right process of course. I've heard of a couple people who have had raccoons as pets... same as skunks.

Took me ~ 3 minutes to notice the AR-15 in the above picture... thanks to an obstruction blocking the view... ;D

@ Born2Kill, aside from everything you said... of which most I agree with, I think you're overlooking the meme/picture.

The interpretation I got is that Obama is sending weapons to Syrians to help them "confront a regime that does not represent them" (not getting into whether I feel that's right or wrong) however he doesn't want Americans to have firearms despite many thinking the American government is becoming "a regime that does not represent them"...  if you get my drift?

No they are bothe derivivates from Chassepot rifles. Some of them have a very big calibre!

Yeah, that's what I thought.. about the large calibers, looked like big game rifles. You know what calibers they are specifically? Have any .700 Nitro Express?  :D

I've never really been interested in metal detecting as a hobby, almost all the greatest spots are fenced in parks with "No Relic Hunting" signs everywhere.

It's called the "cover of darkness". Just kidding, I wouldn't advocate anything illegal...  :D

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Terrorism cannot destroy our society if we don't let it, but we must hang on to our fundamental principles even more strongly. And while it is easy to dismiss our fundamental principles in the face of this fear (more imagined than real), as Tankbuster so casually did, it is of vital importance that we do not let this fear affect us.

Accusing all muslims of being terrorists is destroying our society, executing people with drones without due trial is destroying our society, torturing terrorists and suspected terrorists is destroying our society, imprisoning suspected terrorists without due trial is destroying our society, complete disregard for citizen's privacy to counter terrorism is destroying our society. We have all these important fundamental principles, central to the western society we hold so dear, but when push comes to shove we ignore them, because it is convenient and we are scared.

Now I take a stand for what I believe in. Stop this madness and think rationally. If you want to stop terrorism, stop making the distinction between 'us' and the muslims, stop associating terrorists with islam. Don't tell them that they need to dissociate themselves, tell them that we know they had nothing to do with it. Show everyone why our western society is great.

I am not saying we should necessarily live in fear. However, I am saying we should act accordingly while dealing with a clear and consistent threat. Terrorism has no business in a free nation, and can be greatly avoided by ceasing to provide refuge for breeding terrorist.

Want to be concerned with national security, Obama? Then why not acknowledge the problem as it is; political correctness aside. As far as the islamic extremist are concerned, they are at war with the western world. It is religious to them. Therefore, until we reach some sort of peace accords and stick to it, why not put a cease on islamic immigration into the western world? We have had this type of discriminatory immigration in the past, why not again?

No where am I suggesting to "dismiss our fundamental principles". In the western world, everyone has the same freedoms. However, your freedoms end once they start infringing on other's life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness.

Not that I entirely promote it, but accusing all muslims of being terrorists is not what is destroying our soceity. "Executing people with drones" is called war. A response to an action which was provoked by them. Yes, American citizens, deserve a fair trial - not an Afghan terrorist cell leader, that is an enemy combatant and is dealt with accordingly. I do agree with some of the other invasions of privacy you mentioned however.

I'm glad you take a stand for what you believe in, however far from reality it may or may not be. I respect your doing so in a peaceful manner, if only other particular groups would take the same approach they would realize they would be taken much more seriously and regarded with more respect. It is your obligation as a free person to stand up for what is right.

I'm sorry if you do not like what you read; but there is a reason the two words are associated (terrorism and islam). Not saying they are the only terrorist. How can we tell them "we know they had nothing to do with it" when in fact we do not know that? Why must we cater to them in order to make peace? That is what is destroying the western society. To totally appease them, we would be living back in the stone ages... and nobody really wants that. 

The 'forgive and forget' approach will not work here. Mark my words. They will keep causing horror until their demands are met. The western world should not be obligated to put up with such non-sense and take the appropriate actions to eliminate or drastically reduce the threat. Crush the enemy now...

P.S.
...that's your choice, but just remember that there are Christians like the Westboro Baptist Church that do the EXACT same thing. There have been more bombings by Christians in North America than muslims in the last fifty years...

As I said, 99% of real Christians speak out against and refuse any association with the WBC. They are a disgusting group of inbreed subhumans. Although, they have yet to behead someone on the public streets. Also, your last statement is complete bulls**t...

Lightning is absolutely right with everything he said.
Making a group of people responsible for the actions of individuals just because they share a common cultural or religious background is just prejudice as far as it gets, making everything worse.
And actually I saw more condolences from Muslims about the Boston bombings and such on reddit, then i ever did from Americans about the civilian casualties from drone attacks anywhere.

...And who are you?

Which is why you can find numerous videos and news article about muslims celebrating the horrors of 9/11, the Ft. Hood Shooter, and almost every act of islamic terrorism. Fact is, it's much rarer to find ones of muslims speaking out against such acts of utter disgust. Impossible? No, just a lot rarer. Therefore, if they can go out of their ways to celebrate these barbaric atrocities, they sure as hell can speak out against it. Which is the primary difference between an islamic terrorist and a "rogue Christian terrorist", an islamic terrorist do the crime with their faith in mind, preaching it the whole way, it's their primary motive. Other forms of domestic terrorism, the perpetrator usually just happens to be of another faith, but are not religiously motivated. They're not going out in a blaze of glory saying the Hail Mary, or "allahu akbar". Plus, they're a lot less common and if the media does manage to bring religion into it, a large percent of Christian are there to denounce his deeds, just like 99% of Christians hate the westboro-baptist church and are quick to confirm the ideologies presented by the WBC are the not true beliefs of Christianity. It's a hell of a lot harder to trust a religion which preaches it's okay to deceive people and kill all non-believers. Don't want to speak out because you're afraid of repercussions? Then who is really the majority, the peace-going ones, which may just be "sleepers", or the fanatics? Also, why would anyone want to stay in a religion with that much oppression?

...And just when has reddit become a reliable and trusted source for, well, anything?

I know this probably sounds like I hate all muslims, which I want to make clear, is not true. I just have a hard time trusting the majority of them.

Normally I can deal with tragic events, but this really disturbs me and I just can not stop thinking about it for some reason...

"The state cannot be expected to protect all of its citizens all of the time. That's simply not possible and the only way to come close to this is to monitor all of its citizens, which is entirely undesirable."


I agree, but we could give the give the citizens the ability to defend themselves... ;)

"That's just ridiculous. Obviously, their motives were political and not religious. It is clearly demonstrated by the fact that they specifically targeted a soldier and also by what they said on the scene, like "I killed him because he kills Muslims over there and I am fed up that people kill Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Moreover, "moderate muslims" or let's call them "regular muslims", had absolutely nothing to do with this. Trying to implicate them after such a horrendous act is the kind of senseless behaviour that has some ignorant people attacking mosques in Britain now. It's that sort of "you're either with us or against us" attitude that creates the deep trenches you're talking about.
"

I disagree here. Specifically mentioning muslims makes it religious motivation. If he said killing Iraqis or Afghans, then it'd be politically motivated.

"...Many Muslim extremists come from a chivalrous, vengeful culture. Whole books and reports have been written and ignored decades before western countries such as the U.S.A entered Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. This here is pay back for the crusades and recent events and until they accept an apology...."

They're never getting an apology, and I usually don't bring it up often, but an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. Avenging the response of something YOU started is no longer vengeful, it's insanity.

To be honest, it's sad to consider, but where do you draw the line between the radicals and the "peaceful" ones... I'm sure this will start an outrage, but lets not ignore the signs we're seeing in France, Greece, Sweden, Great Britain, all around the world...

Edit: Well, a quick scan of this thread, hoMEr_jAy pretty much sums up my thought...

Metal detecting, another fun hobby. What kind of detector do you have?
