0.4.2 chunk load issues, and no more runways

Postby mobiusfix » Sun Dec 23, 2018 1:17 am

I took off from KSLC and noticed that after the first chunk of clutter loads, nothing else loads unless I go into settings and change the chunk size. And even then there was a considerable lag loading tree clutter.

Also, I suddenly have no runways (checked multiple locations). I double checked to make sure that all mesh instance types are active including runways. Any ideas why they have disappeared?

That's a pretty serious bug, and we'd like to get it fixed:

1. What's the default Clutter Size, and what'd you have to change to to make things load?
2. Does this happen consistently for you?
3. Does this only happen at KSLC, or everywhere?

Thanks,
Dan

Answers regarding the clutter bug:

1. I've been changing all of the clutter settings lately to test them out, so at this point I don't really have a "default" setting. However, since the latest public release I've been mostly keeping it at 500.

2. Not entirely consistent. Over Salt Lake the clutter would NOT load until I fiddled with the chunk size setting (ie, drag all the way to the right, then back to the left). In other areas it was more like an extreme delay where a new chunk of clutter didn't load until I was well over that area.

3. It's happening everywhere, but to differing degrees (maybe depending on how populous the area is with houses/trees?). I haven't had time to test it out more thoroughly.


As far as the runway bug goes, my answers are:

1. Same as #1 above

2. Yes, I don't believe a single runway has populated since I updated to 0.4.2.

3. Everywhere, unfortunately.

Disregard both of these issues, please. Debug fiddling must've broken the sim because I deleted the config file and everything's working again. :)
