Just booted it up, I'm getting lots of errors showing.

On selecting the mission, there's an error about the overview picture not being n^2 in size, should be easy to fix that one.

Then once I'm in the actual mission, I'm spammed with errors:

Error in expression <switch (_type) do

So I'm not sure if the mission is actually going to work or not.

Thanks, working on it. Will upload asap.

**markb50k** · Mar 23 2012, 21:16

Uploaded 4.1 to fix load errors.. My apologies..

**Humvee28** · Mar 24 2012, 14:16

Dunno why, but i´ve got massive Lag in this Mission, even after minutes of initializing.

I will test this mission again with a fresh generated .rpt.

**yodaman888** · Mar 24 2012, 17:05

I have the same problem as Humvee28, massive lag after start up. My guess is its a script issue

**markb50k** · Mar 24 2012, 19:47

Can the people getting lag please let me know what they are choosing for the # of enemy groups please?

Ill admit its starting to get frustrating that every person that reports in on the mission complains of the lag. I have an old rig and it plays fine, my brother gets 30+ fps, so I'd like to figure out ways of fixing it but i need some test data other than mine, which shows no problems... Thanks.

I put alot of work and features into this and know people will enjoy it as long as we can figure out what the lag issue is.

** updated to 4.2, small bug fixes...

Tried but heavy lag even with lowest # of groups. Perhaps its a better idea if you don't populate the whole island at once? Try to spawn and despawn units/static/empty stuff that is out of players view. Of course don't "mass spawn" anything, try some sleep/delay and code optimisation to reduce overload.

Sorry Mate. I´ve forgotten to list up the Details yesterday, so now here we go :

First, my fresh generated .rpt after some Minutes of Gameplay :

http://pastebin.com/7Wr98HCw

Mission Settings are made as low as possible via your Mission UI.

Game Settings are :

VD --> 3000
Textures --> Normal
Vidmem --> Default
AF --> Very High
AA --> Normal
Terrain and Object-Detail --> High
Shadows --> Very High
PP --> Low
Fillrate --> 100% @ 1920x1080
AToC --> 0
FXAA --> 0

Got no Problems with this Setup in other Missions so far.

My Game-Version is Arma2CO 1.60 Retail + PMC and BAF.

System Specs could be seen via my Signature.

I hope that this Info will help you a bit more.

Another suggestion, put the player into a loading screen while the mission is initializing.
