Thank you for the information. There must be something a bit weird with my game, because I'm not seeing any kind of boundary markers. There are points indicating areas of interest, usually a town or something that are heavily guarded, but I have no visual indication of a 'scouting border'. As for a slight concern towards this setup, how are you supposed to do the scouting mission down near Kavala where you need to kill the helicopter pilots? I am now based in Topolia, and the AI clearly talked about this mission, it is marked on my map. However the game killed me for 'leaving the playable boundary' before I got even half way there. Surely you're allowed to reach the missions you have marked on your map. Why bother mentioning them to the player if they are impossible to reach?

I've done plenty of scouting missions one after another, so I don't think that's really the issue. The whole map should be open for exploration at your own risk, so I don't see why it would kill you off for exploring part of the map.

I've seen this issue scattered around before in threads, and it seems the issue has never been resolved in any of them. I am hoping that can change this time. I am working on some scouting missions on Altis, stationed in Gori, during The East Wind campaign. I have just completed the Vet Clinic side mission, and have now driven up to Oerokastro to do the medical supplies mission. It's not marked on my map, but I remember it being there from my last playthrough. The issue arises when I approach the town. In a vehicle, I am able to just get to the entrance of the town before I explode for no reason. The game does not give me a cause of death. On foot I can not get close to the town, I just drop dead with no indication as to why. Again, the game does not tell me why I have died. The only clue I have is that one time, just before dying, Kerry (The player character) states "I must be way off course, better check the map" or something along those lines. Instantly after finishing this sentence I drop dead. I have scouted the area for snipers using a rangefinder, and can spot nothing that would in any reasonable manner explain these deaths. The only thing I can think of is that the game believes I am outside the playable area, and is killing the player for abandoning a mission. However the game does not state that I am outside of a playable boundary, as would be expected if that were the case. As such I am at a loss, unable to explore a large area on the Northern side of Altis, and unable to activate or complete this side mission to get some supplies.
