A strange occurence indeed.....

My map is going through some weird phases. I have seen this happen to almost all my maps. What it is though; I load the map editor and for a very long time no matter how much stuff I cram into my map it doesnt lag when I place units. Then all of the sudden just yesterday my map starts lagging ALOT when I try to place or move anything. Can anyone help me on this? If you can actually tell me how to fix this bug you will get a nice 30 points into your virtual pocket =)

Its because you put so much other stuff like trees terran dodads and so on. Its lags because units are diffrent from other stuff liek trees.

Oh no no no, you see I have crammed it with EVERYTHING. That means trees and nice looking terrain too. It hasn't gradually lagged out is what im getting at; it happened all at once a few days ago when I opened my editor. I had already placed the stuff on the map and there was no problem in lag.

I think WorldEdit has an issue with certain graphics drivers - I think I have the same problem you're talking about, but it never surfaced before I upgraded to DirectX 9.

A weird quirk I've found is that if you minimize the WorldEdit main window, then maximize it again, the lag goes away temporarily. Also, if I keep the window non-maximized and fairly small on the screen, it doesn't jerk as much.

That happens to me on my new, blisteringly fast computer. And minimizing and maximizing works, I've been doing it for ages.

It must be a specific problem, because I can edit the map on my two year old computer with no lag at all, and the same performance options.

I really would like a way to fix it that is better than the minimize-maximize method.

Ah thanks AllPainful.... It doesnt remove all the lag but it sure helps. 15 pts to you!
