Build mode: Side walls on roof won't move.

Side walls on roof wont match any curving of the roof if it is next to a wall. I build alot of roofs on this game and I haven't seen this be an issue till the 9/18/24 patch update. I am now booting up my game using directX11, which I wasn't before. I have all the packs and, I do use some mods but they are all removed. The save file I have noticed this with is a cc/mod free save. This fundamentally breaks the game for me.

    Tbh, I'm not sure what you are describing.  So, could you provide a little more information please?  Are you talking about the gaps or the roof edges?  Have you tried changing the eaves by either pulling them in or out?

    Since you said that it wasn't an issue until the last patch and that you are now using DX11, have you tried setting the option in Game Options so that you are using DX9 again.  When you do that, is the issue still happening?

    Hope this helps.

  • When the roof curves the side walls wont match -if and only if that side is touching the wall next to it and is extended past the wall height- it doesn't matter which way you curve it the wall wont change to follow the roof.

    In your first pic, I am pretty sure that the reason that the wall does not go all the way to the edge of the roof at the top is because walls do not extend to the edge of the eaves.  If you draw the upper eave in, then the top of the wall will be even with the roof edge.  

    On the 2nd pic, I have no idea why the roof wall is black. It should match the color of the adjacent wall section.  I also notice that the regular wall sections are tan instead of grey.  So, my guess is that it is just the angle of the lighting where it hits those surfaces.  If you switch the time of day, it will probably change to match the walls in at least one time period.  

    That said, it's been a while since I tried to use roofs like you are showing and I want to do a bit of testing.  If I find something different than what I've said above, I'll post again.

    Hope this helps.

  • I have gone through some different worlds to check. I have used roofs this way for years, I have never had this. It is also appearing on DX9 too. Thank you for looking into this.
