How to start Buldozer properly in Terrain Builder

Recommended Posts

As some of you might know I've had a lot of trouble starting Buldozer from within Terrain Builder from time to time. First I thought it was a memory issue, but I think it has come down to some sort of P: drive initiation. I have tried many different ways of starting it, but to some it all up - I think I have worked out a succesful way to start Buldozer almost every first time I try it. Note that this method only works for me, and if you have trouble starting Bd from TB it might not work for you. But I thought I would share my findings, as this is really an irritating part of being a terrain maker. I've spent up to 5 hour on days trying to start Bd without success.

Anyway this is my walkthrough on how to start Buldozer from TB the first time:

  1. Restart PC
  2. Once in windows open Steam as quickly as you can!
  3. Minimize Steam
  4. Wait for P: drive to be ready then open the P: drive folder and close it again
  5. Open Terrain Builder from a shortcut (Not through Steam!)
  6. Open your terrain / Or set it to auto open terrain like I have set mine
  7. Wait for it to clearly display your terrain
  8. DO NOT select anything in TB or go to any menus. Only thing you must do now is to hit the "Connect to BD icon"
  9. Have some champaign celebrating your victory

Also I have set my Buldozer location to not be "P:\" but "C:\Users\myName\Documents\ArmaWork"

If there are any out there with troubles I hope this may help you a bit :)
