Terrain Builder/Buldozer issue when moving objects
Assigned, UrgentPublic

Description

Hi all,

I am experiencing a strange bug with Buldozer and/or Terrain Builder; it has affected me since I started in Terrain Builder. In short, every time I move/rotate an object in Buldozer it seems to "teleport" (or rather lag) back to its previous position. The object usually ends up moving itself back to where I wanted it, but sometimes it doesn't. The issue gets worse if I move an object multiple times in quick succession - it will shift between all previous positions. I can still move the camera during this time (Buldozer itself does not lag at all), but I cannot tab back into Terrain Builder until the object has settled. During this time, Terrain Builder seems to be the thing lagging out - like it's struggling to update the object's position and is locking up as it loads.

I have asked multiple mappers about this to no avail, which makes me think it's either some rare bug with the program or (more likely?) a weird interaction with some part of my PC. I have also: moved both DayZ Tools and DayZ to an SSD, uninstalled and reinstalled DayZ Tools, verified DayZ Tools, ran Terrain Builder as Administrator, and ensured my drivers are up-to-date, etc.

Resource manager shows nothing abnormal when this is happening. It happens every time I move an object, regardless of the map I'm editing. Other mappers on this map do not have this issue, and I have no idea how it could be replicated.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: After using Terrain Builder regularly for a few days, I have determined that the issue is definitely with Terrain Builder itself and not Buldozer; the "teleporting" is due to Terrain Builder freezing up after doing anything in Buldozer - even selecting objects causes this. Terrain Builder itself is also notably slow. Searching the issue online led me to trying out some Windows compatibility settings but neither XP (SP3) or Win7 change anything.
