World Composition Landscape Performance Issues

[Rev0verDrive]

I already said the engine does it automatically when using the “World Composition” tool built in. You just feed it tiles and it assembles it into a streamed level with everything separated already. I’m not putting things into one single level because why wouldn’t I just make it one single landscape actor then? That’s what I have been doing for years already. I am generating tiles and giving the game the tiles for it to stream in. I have a whole folder in the content browser full of 49 separate map files, one for each map tile. I didn’t make them, the engine its self did when I used the world comp tool.

How many components per landscape tile?
Each component has a render-thread CPU processing cost. I have a 4x4km map where I used 1009x1009, 63x63 comp. Runs fine with a 5Km streaming distance.

In the “Levels” panel each landscape tile should be represented by a level and be a child of the persistent level (indented).

In the “World Outliner” each level should have a level bounds and a landscape proxy. I’ve organized mine.

If everything is setup correctly the only things I can think of are world origin shifting (rebasing) or hardware performance. For comparison I’m running on an AMD FX 8350, 16GB RAM, AMD RX 580 GPU (8GB) and all is good.
