Entering a big Data layer area creates a delay on player building

Summary

In my Realistics I use a Data Layer for each POI. Everything was always fine before 36.00. But since 36.00 teleporting to a poi from a long distance that has been loaded via a data layer causes a player build delay of a few seconds (see video). The bigger the POI the longer the delay is. For example the chinese temples in the video have a delay of 2 seconds, while a small shack would have a tiny delay which is not noticable.

Play until you load into a big POI. We have 6 very large POIs out of the total 42

FORT-922391 changed to ‘Needs More Info’. We’re missing information that would help us determine the source of the issue.

  1. How to repro
    1. Create Island Template "Blank"
    2. You will see the player spawner devices, here place down a button device, you can find this in the content browser and drag it in the level.
    3. Place down a chest or any other device that can grant the player building materials like wood.
    4. Far away from spawn, lets say at 40000 units away, place down another GridPlane (the huge grey rectangle you spawn on at the player spawners.
    5. In the content browser search "slurp swamp factory prefab" and pick the first prefab and drag it in the level, far away from spawn, above the GridPlane you just placed down. Place this prefab down 4 times to make the effect of the bug more obvious.
    6. Right above the same GridPlane far from spawn, place down a teleporter device.
    7. Open the teleporter device and in "User Options - Functions" go to teleport and press '+" to add element. Press None and in the dropdown search for your Button and select it. In the second field it says none, press here and select ' On Interact' . Now when you press the button it will teleport you.
    8. Start the game
    9, Collect wood from a chest or other device.
    10. Press the button to teleport
    11. Build instantly, you will see a 4 second delay with building. After than you can build normally.
    
    When about 20000 units away there seems to be a 0.5 build delay. Around 40000 units the delays is seconds long. It does not matter if you go even further like 100k units, the effect does not become worse.
