    An interesting situation has emerged on Dry Rock Island. It seems that the second dimension has launched a massive invasion of the island. The reason for this offensive is unknown. Troops on the front have been all but routed completely, as any attempt to approach the strange invaders leads to their apparent disintegration, but they reintegrate once a minimum distance is reached.

    To summarize:

    • unusual two-dimensional objects have appeared scattered across the island
    • they disappear if anything draws too close
    • attempts to remove them have failed

    Requesting those at HQ offer their advice on how to proceed.

    Additional note: this only happened after the weekly "non-update" was downloaded by the updater, and I haven't seen it anywhere else.

    Missing texture for something, try deleting the map and running the updater (it will re-download the map..)

    Yep, missing/broken impostor (lower detail object the game substitutes in at a distance to reduce GPU load). Try deleting DRI folder and running the updater. Failing that, delete the whole terrains folder and run the updater.

    Looks like terrain holes to me, maybe you can restore them?

    Run cleanup.bat if you haven't already. Fixed it for me when I had this issue a few months ago.

    Thanks! I saw this thread description and thought it sounded similar to what I started experiencing on Cliff 2(albeit not with soldiers and all that :p), ran cleanup.bat and all is well!

    Victory!
    Invading forces on Dry Rock Island have suffered a major defeat!

    Reports from official sources on the front confirm that the invaders have been driven back entirely,
    in a final, desperate thrust from our troops. The attack, which began at 8:15 this morning, was led
    jointly by QDG on the field and numerous veteran advisors here at home. QDG's report follows:

    When we received our instructions, we proceeded to evacuate the island while under fire,
    thereby luring the squares into a false sense of security from victory. Then, during the
    early morning, we unleashed our final attack at full force...Let's just say, they didn't
    stand a chance.

    After hearing of the success on the Island, news came in that a similar invasion around Cliff 2.0 had been halted
    in the same way by a local commander that goes by the name "deviltrigger".

    After hearing of the simultaneous invasions, QDG stated, "We owe our victory on both fronts to the staff at Headquarters
    and their timely response to our problem."

    The common opinion is that Humanity narrowly avoided disaster, and hopefully we learned something as well.
    Perhaps the other dimensions will think again before trying to destroy us, or perhaps we could even establish
    embassies to ensure that neither side has to suffer the consequences of war.

    In this reporter's opinion, there is only one question left to ask:

    The End???

    Btw, those were the imposter images. They are billboard images always facing the camera representing an object that is too far away to be rendered in full detail. running cleanup.bat removes the images and forces the game to generate them again :)
