I made a large subtracted area to create my map in and the top and bottom of it is one large bsp hole that distorts your fov. I made sure it was a power of 2 and was aligned on the grid. I have tried all kinds of remedies, but none of them work. Any help?

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
Can I request a build, screenshots of the entire level and the particular issue, things like that? It would make looking into the problem a lot easier.
I'm not even sure if it is a bsp hole. The room is rectangular shaped and the top and bottom sides of it are visible in unreal ed, but when I rebuild and play the level they are not. For example, when I fire the sheildgun, there is just a big green sheet across the top.
Yes. It just made the problem worse.

Are you using fog?
If yes, what you are seeing is the point of the fog becoming absolute, therefor not rendering anything beyond that point. If this is the case, then the remedy is to ease up on the fog by a lot, so that on any sightline the fog cannot reach its outer boundary.

The problem still exists even with little or no fog. Should I just scrap this map and try again?
Did you set up a sky box?
1. Subtract a separate space (usually smaller) for the sky box.
2. Add a SkyZoneInfo in the sky box.
3. Build all.
Distance fog is not required for this to work.

How large is your main subtraction box? You will also get the HOM effect if you can see further than the maximum draw distance (around 65000 units) and don't have a sky box. In this case adding a sky box as suggested above would also fix your issue, you can just make the skybox the same colour as the fog.
The room is 131,072 units tall. That is probably the problem but I will try adding a skybox to see if that helps.
In that case it should do. The other thing you could try is setting bClearToFogColor on your ZoneInfo actor that defines the fog, which should tell it to fill with fog colour wherever it hits the max draw distance.
I set it to true and it worked. Now my lighting is destroyed, but its worth getting rid of the main problem.
The view distance in UE2 is limited to about 65000 units. Anything above that will cause the "Hall Of Mirrors" (HOM) effect you experienced.
I don't get it, because I post infrequently my posts are somehow invisible?
Next time I'll just keep quiet.
