Lighting trough displacement - Developers

Hey, got some probs here, you can see the lighting going underneath my displacements, also the foliage on the second image is fullbright.

I can't seem to fix it, i tried different light_envs and also put a blocklight behind the displacements but it doesn't change anything. Cheers to anyone that wants to help

Covering up behind the join with blocklight/nodraw has always worked for me, are you doing a full vrad compile?

What metallics said. Thats how I fixed it for my map.

I did put a blocklight behind the displacements but not fully. And yes, full vrad compile.

If you sealed the map up properly instead of having it entirely surrounded with skybox brushes you wouldn't usually need a workaround fix.

Oke, i did put a whole sky box around the map, but i will change that when the map gets done, saves alot of time, i get what the problem is now though, thanks!
