Smooth Terrain Tools Lag

When using Smooth Terrain tools in a large place file there is a half-second screen freeze when clicking.

The bug occurs on all Terrain Tools (on-click). The bug happens in large terrain based worlds (4kx4k stud of Voxel Terrain)

This matters to my workflow because, when creating a massive open world, I click, undo, redo and drag thousands or tens of thousands of times per day. A 300-500ms screen stutter becomes painful to experience constantly and makes it difficult to work with accuracy.

This is over 7 months old… yet it is still an issue.

The delay is painful. What’s even more painful is when you have a large world and are using a large brush. That combination is deadly and can lead to your brush completely freezing. No bueno.

Grow and erode are manageable. The worst offender?

Smooth.

Pay attention to the mouse.

The brush literally just freezes. It can’t be moved. Your mouse can move wherever it wants, smooth does not follow.

Please, fix this!

We’re finally closing out some older tickets! I’m pretty sure we fixed this with the update we released around a year ago. I’ll be marking this as fixed, but feel free to re-open if necessary.
