nope - we cannot modify X number of community made terrains.
even more the author is often not longer around

BI just has to fix the source itself/ensure backwards compatibility

I can confirm that I tried MANY setups for my 4096 x 5 terrain, none of them solved this bug.

This is actually a major problem and I really hope BI is going to look into this.

At the moment, it's preventing me from releasing my terrain.

I can confirm that Schulzit and I tried many setups. If there are no plans to fix this short-term, would it be possible that we get some information on how to avoid it?

I've been able to workaround it by using 10m/px rasters instead of the previous 1m/px resolution.

That is just a workaround, because the loss of resolution is not acceptable.

still no fix, its really sad!

Ran into this myself the other day! BI, please, look into this.
