Bug Report

Bug type (A-E etc)
The bug on the game Year 0 I found was a cosmetic bug (E) as it didn’t interrupt or interfere with any part of the gameplay. This bug is more of an annoyance as the player won’t be able to see some of the buildings and terrains. This doesn't affect any of the players save files or any of their characters and vehicles in or during gameplay.

Full bug Description
The bug affects the environment as it glitches out on some parts of building and terrain textures. When the bug is activated the textures on some of the buildings and terrains goes black and isn't visible in enhanced 3D mode. However when switched to standard 3D the buildings and terrains are visible, but when switched back the bug is still there. However when the player zooms in to the building/terrain the texture reappears, but when zoomed out the missing texture is back.   

Which triggers are involved?
To recreate this bug the player in-game will have to switch to enhanced 3D mode if they haven’t already got it on, then zoom around the layout of the map, then switch modes from enhanced 3D to standard 3D. Now when in this mode zoom around the map again, after a couple of seconds fiddling around with the camera, switch back to enhanced 3D mode. If done correctly the cosmetic texture bug should appear. When this bug appears it can now never go away unless the player exists the map or log out of the game.

After the process have been applied

Operating region
This bug can be found “in-game” as this happens when the player is immersed in the game, as he/she might play around with the camera or modes to see which settings would best suit them. This only happens on Google Chrome, I've tried the same method on Firefox with no avail.

Repeatability

If the player repeats the method shown on the “trigger” heading the player will be able to create the bug. This bug can be done on any map and the bug won’t go away after it has been created, unless the player decides to exit the map or log out of the game.
