Ok so ive been playing around with the chunk generation command witht the TSE and have had mixed results and im not shure if this problem is related to the MS3 release...first off I thought that maybe my error metric was off durring the convertion because my terrain look like its been heavily POSTERIZED or it made "STEPS" at every incline of the terrain..if i need to post a sceen shot i will but i think you can imagne so when i loaded the engine after trying to play with some setting to fix the problem myself i was watching the terrain and noticed the terrain deforming right before my eyes into these "STEPS" is this the terrain and ive converted it wrong...bug maybe...because it looks great for all of 2 seconds...then BLAM!!! Help me please....

If your terrain make steps it's probably due to errorMetric (set it with a decimal value (for example 1.2)). But of course with a screen it's better.
