First map that I'm actually trying to finish. It's no where near complete but I think I may have to redo it as there are several problems.

Huge FPS tax on a high end machine. Possibly due to how many static meshes I used. Need help with this.

Textures are 512x512 even though they are 16 bit textures. Is there a way I can lower them so that they use less resources but don't become blurry?

Like alot of custom maps I see the trader pod sometimes flashes in and out of existence. Don't know the cause or solution.

Any help to improve these things would be greatly appreciated. Again first map so go easy I'm extremely knew to this kind of thing.

Thanks to everyone on the forums who patiently answered my many questions about every aspect of map building.

For optimization try LOD. So when you are at a distance the mesh is switched out for a low resolution one then when you are close it uses the high resolution.

When overlooking the map I was averaging about 48 frames per second with a GTX970 + i54690k.

Could you explain what LOD is and where I need to go to set it? Is it on the static meshes themselves, or something like the world property?

Here's a video that could explain it better than I ever could.

Looks like the Materials for your trees didn't load, you may need to switch them out with MaterialInstanceConstants

I think the dude in the video might be Hans. Maybe he did mapping before he became and end game villain?

In the properties for each custom texture, use "Nearest" rather than "Linear". That should allow you to use much smaller textures without any of the blurring.
