Lag when placing block.

Post by trackrecordgames »

Hi,

I have a very starnge lag when I want to place a block.
Everytime when I do this the game frozes for 1-2 seconds and then I can place the next block and the game frozes again and again......
But it doesnt crash.

I think the problem is that I placed a wall trough the whole map.
This problem is only on my map (the other maps running normal) and only after I placed the wall.
The saves before are ok but too old to use them.

Is there a button or a other possibility to fix this problem.


Regards,
TRG

If you are not too far into the map, you could always try creating a new one. If you don't, then try to select the wall using the right mouse button and deleting it using " f3, materials, air" or by pressing backspace/delete. It should change your entire wall to air if you did it right. If this doesn't work, I have no other suggestions except my first one. Hope this helped and have fun with PAS!

First of all, what map size are you using, and what grid size are you using? Both of these factor in to produce lag when building. The larger the gridsize can affect even some of the better computers (although they won't notice it as much). I have the same "problem" but ignore it. It technically isn't a problem, it just means your computer is running hard. The reason other maps are fine is because they are completed. If you have a large mapsize, but don't absolutely need it that large, you should probably use a smaller map.
If you are not too far into the map, you could always try creating a new one. If you don't, then try to select the wall using the right mouse button and deleting it using " f3, materials, air" or by pressing backspace/delete. It should change your entire wall to air if you did it right. If this doesn't work, I have no other suggestions except my first one. Hope this helped and have fun with PAS!
The lag won't affect anything, and if he tries according to your solution it would have the same result as before.
