Yeah, thadkinsjr. I was testing for the same thing. Memory on disk, in relation to resolution, Specially resolution right next to the player - because resolution in the far distance seems to hold well enough even with lesser resolution. I just tried now here using a resolution of 2017 x 2017, and it’s holding nicely in terms of details, realism. I’ve attached a screenshot using this res. I’m still going to try 1009 x 1009, same world size, to see if it holds well in terms of details.
I will stress, because maybe I wasn’t clear enough above: I was first using 8129 x 8129 to begin with to test for the heavier case on disk, memory etc. Now I’m gradually going down in resolution.
Also: yes, of course I’ll use tiling for the terrain pieces. I still need to test this, it is in my plans. From advices I’ve read, probably 1009 x 1009 or 505 x 505 tiles.
I still would like to hear from the Epic devs any info and tips on this.
