Unbearable stutter/lag of the animation when moving props and trees
Hi, I'm having issues with highly annoying animation lag/stutter when moving props and trees, even with low detail moving enabled and with fairly high fps (50+). By lag I mean an object lagging behind the mouse cursor and by stutter I mean the animation of an object being moved having a significantly lower refresh rate than fps of the entire scene. A couple of things that I have observed that might serve as a clue:

1. The stutter/lag is not present when moving network nodes, segments or buildings.
2. When moving trees or props the terrain texture and grass models are being updated each frame and when moving buildings or networks the terrain textures and grass models are not being updated at all until the mouse is released. This might be the source of the issue.
3. The stutter's/lag's intensity decreases the further away the camera is from other objects meaning that it's most pronounced near a city centre and least pronounced near the edges of a map.
4. The behaviour is the same in a modded as well as in an unmodded installation of the game.
