[.952 Bug] Waterfalls at the end of rivers are placed ABOVE the land square

This is a bug I've encountered 3 times already in different .952 games and I've never seen before:

Sometimes the waterfalls at the end of rivers are "floating" above the tile where they should be in instead of on it.

EDIT: here is a screenshot of the bug with my sovereign standing in the adjascent tile:

... and here is one where my sovereign is standing ON the tile, underneath the floating waterfall...

I also have linked to a savegame showing the problem (it's right next to Lorien, my city in the North).

 

Keep up the great work, Bendiwolf

The glitch here is that the river with this waterfall should end at the cliffs to the ocean. So basically the game is not making the river go to the cliffs and then placing the waterfall.

I hadn't seen this before, but I started a new game today and there it is, floating in mid air (as becomes apparent if you rotate the view):

Glad someone else has this problem as well

I figured that this was a fantasy world, so waterfalls are just... different here. >_>

Derek - a quick bump to say PLEASE fix this for Beta 5 ... it is a simple fix, and it completely breaks immersion ...

I agree, except I don't think it's that simple of a fix.

The waterfall is supposed to be on the cliff tiles. The problem is that the river is not finishing at a cliff to place that waterfall there, so something is going on with the random generator for the river.

DerEk do you have any feedback on this? It's not on the Beta 5 changelog and it really breaks the immersion ...

Derek I hate to be a pest but have you any feedback about fixing this bug? It is becoming a serious annoyance....

Chill out man. It's really not a pressing issue. If it bugs you that much wait until release to play.

I am chill, at least more than the people writing 50+ angry messages about the 3-turn limit (something which could be modded away in about 5 seconds, BTW)... I love playing the betas, do not wish to wait until release, and have reported this bug some time ago with full support, including screenshots and a save game. Derek has answered more recent bug reports, so I am asking for a reply to this one as well... 

Obviously, when beta 5 comes out I will be too busy playing it, but if the issue persists I will keep wanting it fixed :)

Kinda reminds me of Pandora.
