Hello, dear developers!

TLDR

When I trying to open invisible (black) map fragment using artillery, Remote View refuses to work. Map before bug, map after bug, and video of bug available.

Bug description

1. (What did I do) I want see what located behind black map fragment, using artillery.
2. (What happened) Remote view is unable to work, interact with map, etc.
3. (Expected behaviour) Artillery shells leaves traces of non-black map fragments, and I able to see contents of map for short time of artillery shell flight.
4. (Reproducible) Reproducible is highly stable. Functionality of remote view not recovered after game save/load. Unfortenately I have no another computer to test save file on another system.

Unfortenately, in my location all of services like google or dropbox are blocked by ISP. All files located on my computer, please, don't hack or ddos it - because my ISP can totally disable my internet connection.

Thanks for your attention!

This looks similar to 133221 - you likely just have to wait a few minutes for map generation to catch up.
