So I've noticed this issue on a lot of mod maps (and several stock and custom maps in MEU) where the game crashes whenever you look straight up at the sky (and maybe spin around a bit), and I've never been able to determine the exact cause of it. Anyone have any ideas/leads?

Here's a video of what I mean:




EDIT:

I'm not completely convinced that this is even related to any of the sky's properties or associated assets; the crash still occurs even when the .sky file only contains:

I had this happen a lot in the PSP mods. For me, it was related to NearSceneRange and FarSceneRange values. To this day I still can't set the max view past a certain number in Rhen Var: Citadel because of that issue. I've also experienced but fixed it on Naboo Plains and Bespin Cloud City

Interesting. In any regard, I've narrowed it down to the presence of rainshadow regions (it occurs even with just 1 unrotated box region), which is very very odd. Still looking into it.

EDIT:

Well, I've managed to fix it. It turns out that the precipitation effect's Range value was too high (35). Lowering it to 25 fixed the problem (tested 30 - that crashed too).
