We know about these two issues, but the means of fixing either is not known at this time.

Fixing is simple: no Gates of Ekrund scenario

As the server must have had some sort of mapping and nav mesh its probably better to stick to scenarios where it flat and without walls if you dont want people exploiting. Which they absolutely will and are.

Each nif comes with collision map. You can load either mesh or collision map. It shouldn't be too difficult to simply do a ray -to-triangle collision check (you cast a ray from player to target and see if any environment triangles were hit). Can be done on GPU, so LOS check can be done extremely fast by the server.

here is collision map for nordenwatch

Won't it become easy to cheat with checks made on player's GPU?
