The mines, oil barrels and physics objects keep being randomised whenever I load my map. It's really annoying. What's the point of being able to place them manually in the map editor if they keep being randomised whenever I use the map?

Firstly, people keep telling me the latest patch has fixed this issue, however I haven't assured myself of it yet.

Secondly, this is how to avoid the issue in case it wasn't fixed:

As far as I know, physics objects are not saved to your map when you add or remove landscape AFTER placing objects. I assume it's some kind of an oversight; when you use the brush to edit your map the objects are actually getting removed but visually remain on it until you quit the editor. Reason I'm assuming this is the case is because dynamic water is actually removed as soon as you edit your map.

Meaning, place objects at last, and if you want to edit your map after you placed some objects, remove them, save the landscape, quit the editor, and load the map again.

The latest patch hasn't fixed the issue, and having to use a workaround like that is annoying and inconvenient.

Altight, the latest patch definitely fixed the issue.
