(Fixed) Major - UEFN - Excessive lag in a project that had none last build

EDIT: This issue has been fixed with last update
For some reason I am experiencing editor freezes and lag in projects when they load. Two updates back it used to be perfect, with no lag whatsoever.

(I have the editor open for a couple of hours now, thus the large filesize.

This also happens in another project of mine, with 14k memory. When trying to transform a plane, the editor freezes for a second each time.

@Wertandrew are there any messages in the log when you experience this? Does your CPU utilization or GPU utilization max out?

No because I ve also experienced that and UEFN switches to a lower graphic setting when that happens. In this case it was as if having the editor open for too long lags everything, or when loading a new project.

Also the same project in Creative doesn’t lag at all.

EDIT: Changing scalability settings in the viewport does not affect the lag. I get lag with medium settings in UEFN, while Creative on Epic doesn’t lag at all.

Hrm, Okay, can I get your PC specs? I want to attach all the info to a ticket and gather some thoughts on this.

Another video demonstrating how scalability doesnt affect the editor lagging. Currently its very hard to work.

Can confirm that after sending this version of the project to Dom, he has exactly the same lag as me.

Help us out! how did you fix the lag!? I have a zone wars map and with world partition turned on the lag is horrendous 3 second delay when placing a build!

I dont think the issue is the same, this is lag inside UEFN editor and it has been already fixed by Epic (this post is from October). What you are experiencing is something that affects gameplay. Wondering if you can turn of world partition, would it still do that?

It turned out to be my storm beacons too close together and the wildlife spawner range within the zone of the storm beacon device.

Yes will partition ended up deleting my ocean every time I turn it on even if I expanded the cell radius. Every time I turn on world partition it deletes the ocean and sometimes the entire volcano on my island

Hey! I have this issue popping up again, this time it is UEFN the Editor. It lags for 5 second freezes the screen. Cpu and GPU only at 24% around there. Very strange but I have had to open and close UEFN multiple times. When reopening UEFN it happens within about 5 minutes. I noticed it takes place after selecting a Data Layer. it lags, then i deselect and hit escape. The engine is unable to stop this lagging. hmmm.
