I'm guessing this is a feature but.... Why is line horizon making a strange wall effect now?

Can you be a bit more precise?

Heh sorry, I was at work and running around like a madman.

From this high ledge, you can see in the distance a "wall" being made up.

Don't use horizons with such high ledges. I simply can't draw into infinity and have to stop at a certain distance before lighting inaccuracies manifest themselves. At that cutoff distance I have to fill the area between the true horizon and the floor with something - and that is the wall you see. The horizon is a software render hack that is impossible to recreate fully in hardware.

As long as you work with reasonable height differences this effect won't show.

Okay, i'll try to remember that.
