LeanderYTO 0 Posted May 19, 2017 Hello, I want to use Terrain Builder to build a new Terrain. The problem is that the moment I open up Terrain Builder my whole computer starts hanging. When I import images for my terrain everything returns to normal but when it is done the lagg returns. All buttons and funtions take a long time to open due to the hanging and lag. I have a high-end computer with SSD's and plenty of performance but this is the only software that makes everything hang and takes Task Manager 10+ minutes open if at all. My dad who is a long time developer blames it on Terrain Builder blocking the Windows Message Queue with something and making everything wait for Terrain Builder to do what it needs to do which I think is doing it over and over again in a loop. From what I know this is a problem that has been in Terrain Builder for 2+ years and still has not been fixed. Either the developers do not know how to fix it or are just one of the most ignorant developers I have ever seen. The overall performance of Terrain Builder is very poor.

Although the frames are lower, the massive hangs and stutters are gone. I will happily live with the little stutters. Thank you a bunch for that suggestion.

Better upgrade to W 10 .... why cant switch drive P? open A3tools preferences change drive P destination and after move your folders .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
