Stupid Curves

I'm having trouble trying to get my doorways to behave. I'm using 8 unit wide brush on each side that sticks out 2 units from the wall. The top I used a curve and used the thicken option to 8 units, then I put a cap on it. In the editor this all looks fine, but in game I have noticed at certain angles I can see past the cap. It looks like the game Leaves the cap alone and draws the curve with less detail the farther you are away, which causes a problem because now there is a gap. I know its hard to explain so Ive posted 2 videos of it, one of how it looks in game, and one of what I'm doing to make these doorways in the editor. I guess I could run the cap into the curve but that seems like a sloppy way to do it.

No kidding. You have T-junctions everywhere and the patches overlap.

Proper way:
