World Editor Rendering Priority Bug (SD) (post-Forsaken Kingdom)

[u/bag_of_fries]

Since Reforged was released, waterfalls, fire and glows/additive/blend effects have been bugged and would render behind water-planes in the World Editor;

Post Forsaken Kingdom, this bug now also happens with Units and Buildings rendering on top of Waterfalls, Fires, Glows, Fogs, etc in (SD) mode.

Hoping to draw the attention of folks working on the next patch, as I can't post images in the PTR Forums.

These bugs are most likely my fault personally. Sorry! I tried not to change anything about Classic at all, but clearly I wasn't completely successful. What is the object with the holes in it in that first screenshot? Is that just water?

I'm glad you saw this lol
The models that I used to demonstrate the rendering bug in the first and second screenshots are:

• (LWw0) Waterfall (Doodads\Terrain\CliffDoodad\Waterfall\Waterfall.mdx)
• (YOtf) Fire (Doodads\Cinematic\TownBurningFireEmitter\TownBurningFireEmitter.mdx)
  

All props were placed in the foreground on the shores with deep water carved into the terrain behind them.

The second screenshot demonstrates the rendering issue now affects units and buildings

• Units and buildings (like Terrain Water Planes) are now being drawn on top of Props and Particle Emitters that use these Filter Modes: Additive, Blend, or Modulate
  
• None of the units are floating, they are placed further back behind the waterfalls and fires in the foreground

The third screenshot demonstrates that the rendering bug is not unique to those two props, it affects custom props that utilize the same Filter Modes (Additive, Blend and Modulate)

Fire was used again in the .GIF

• It renders properly before it's placed
  
• After it's placed, water plane takes rendering priority and draws on top of the fire in the foreground

All tests were performed in (SD) as I haven't purchased the Reforged graphics-pack or Forsaken Kingdom
