SureAI

Looking west/south west across the bay from behind the Ark Westwall Myrad tower there appears to be a single tree glowing white among all the other trees. When you approach this tree either from land or by swimming across the bay, and get maybe within 30-40 yards of it, it suddenly and quickly falls down, and upon close up inspection is not glowing, but just dead.

I suppose it was dead all along and just appeared to be glowing from a distance, but it's weird that it should appear as a standing tree until you get close, and then fall over. The change in position is instantaneous. One second its standing and the next its laying on the ground. There is some of that healing moon carrot growing at the base of it's dead trunk, but other than that it appears to be a normal tree.

Graphical glitch? Or something else?

maybe somebody poured skooma on it?

Slimy exploding oil?

Seriously, might have to do with graphics card, settings, and distant objects. Have gotten a few of those-- probably because Enderal is asking a lot out of a GTX-960 ("only" 2GB) ; )

The texture for the distant view is missing. I didn't look it up but the problem has already been there in the release version of Enderal, so it should be in the bugtracker by now.
Wrong application, put it in a skooma pipe instead and you get even more colors and not just on fallen trees
