As it turns out, NewDark doesn't handle Z-sorting in certain situations quite as well as Old Dark (specifically, the Thief 2 version of the renderer that NewDark seems to be based on, vs the older T1/SS2 renderer). This causes the railings with glass in SS2 to sometimes not sort correctly where they meet at the corners (the transparent glass means they can't use the hardware Z buffer).

Here's a meeting of railings in NewDark:

And here it is in the original engine:

The proposed fix is to delete the glass from the railing models so they don't have to be Z-sorted, then implement the glass as separate attached objects. This would be a lot of work for everybody.

Can you tell me which map and location that area is?
Or the non - ID of the items so I can jump there?
