There is no bug, with the 3D water you get the impression that the shallows are too small compared to the bridge

Why are there shallows around a broken bridge? That seems like something to just confuse the players.

As @RoyalForgotten said, it’s like that by design. Thanks for the report.

Then change that design.

If it is by design, I understand that action will not be taken. But it is a very confusing design, and I didn’t even realize there were shallows that were traversable. I hope that it will be reconsidered, such as by making an intact bridge, to reduce player confusion.
