Beta 4 Bugs: Decal Bugs

2 things I noticed.

* They tend to get culled a bit too early if something is blocking about half of the view. This is really noticeable in 3rd person camera as well.
* If you have some geometry that is not flat and you get closer to it the decal the decal will flatten and not cover the rounded part of the geometry.

    Well... there is no occlusion culling of decals. So something blocking the view shouldn't change how they lod out.

    Was the decal far away? Have you tweaked the screenStartRadius/screenEndRadius values?
