TvT all the way

Overall I liked it, but we had some serious lag problems as the population grew the other night. Seems like a lot of custom maps/mods are not scaling well at this point - they run great with a few players, but lag out as the population grows.

Could work well if TG takes it and makes it better

has alot of good features but cause a lot of lag and has a number if annoying bugs (like randomly teleporting the choppers when the lift something)

**Jeepo** · 07-13-2009, 08:19 PM

Gents, feel free to post any bugs in those links I supplied.....

**Blitzin15** · 08-13-2009, 12:44 AM

This si kool but still pretty buggy and a total ripoff of BF2s project reality

**sparks50** · 08-13-2009, 05:56 AM

A rippoff would be if he wasn't naming the source, but hes clearly saying that the game type is PR.

Sad to hear about the lagging, I hope it can be mended.

Awsome job guys. I'm just starting to learn ArmaII, but I really like it!

**Nyax** · 08-14-2009, 11:29 AM

This looks awesome, it looks much better than Domination. More organized, more features, fastropes. Oh and it's TvT!

**Jeepo** · 08-14-2009, 01:29 PM

I cant wait to try this out

**Jeepo** · 08-26-2009, 08:51 PM

Beta v 0.6 released and on the server:

Beta 0.6 change log¶
Summary¶

The entire focus for the past week or more has been to fix this game breaking "slow response" bug relating to dialogs and actions. There have been significant internal changes made to try and work around these issues, as best that Arma 2 now allows.
Changelog¶

* Updated: Ver 0.5 was incorrectly shown as ver 0.4 (only file name was shown as 0.5).
* Fixed: Performance: Possibly fixed/worked around some/many performance degradation issues.
* Fixed: Performance: Navigation waypoint (WpHUD) script spawning loop bug, which would have affected performance over time.
* Fixed: Performance: Multiple dialog spawns, when activated via key press and not via action.
* Fixed: Performance: Bug of respawning and getting stranded out nowhere (due to respawn dialog taking forever to appear).
* Changed: Performance: Immediate spawn without dialog. (You now need to manually select "Base Deployment" action to simulate previous behaviour.)
* Changed: Updating appearance of dialogs.
* Changed: Clean out unused code to reduce overall size. No performance difference.
* Added/Changed: There's a new "Configuration" menu option called "Menus" with options "Advanced" or "Basic" to control whether to show all menus or just the commonly used ones. The mission will now default to Basic mode.

hi there,

i would love to play devastation one day on tg servers. unfortunately its never been played in the last weeks.

some days ago it has been mentioned on von to play it when bravo was crowded but some people stated it would be too complicated for new players. so it wasn't played.
i was a bit astonished about that statement because i simply think:

if it's not possible on tg it wont be possible anywhere else.

the reason i play on TG servers (PR and arma2) is the mature behavior of the players, the teamwork and the way how it is played. and for that i welcome any mission or mod which encourages teamplay and interaction between players.

so please, give it a chance and run it more often.
i think this mod is absolutely underrated.
and to all who think its too complicated for new players: if they join tg for more then one time, they know what TG is about. i think most of people would appreciate it.

just my 2 cents.

greets

Funny I was just mentioning this to Jeepo the other day.
I hope you guys try it and that I'm around when you do.

**1longtime** · 12-03-2009, 12:38 PM

I'm more worried about it being too complicated for the server. Every time we tried Devastation it was unplayable due to lag...

**Rabommel** · 12-03-2009, 01:00 PM

oh, did not knew about server lag issues. my bad.
