After revising the old maps & missions I will work on the next mission for this campaign as I just finished the newest mission to my American campaign. Hoping summer period will come with less work in my actual life so that I can spend time on this. :D

@everyone: Thank you for the feedback and comments. I will now spend some time re-vising old missions & optimizing them, plus looking into potential bugs that are reported by your guys. But just keep in mind, if you report a bug (blue skins, crashed, etc) it is important for me to know if you have other mods on as that can interfere. I will still investigate, but it would help my troubleshooting to have all background information.

I've fought off all enemies in the Neva Pocket mission, but then the mission doesn't progress. It shows that I still haven't completed defending the east and west 1st defensive lines even though I've killed everyon.

i tried to load the first mission and it crashed

@Septimus as regards the other missions, they work just fine. Maybe they lag a little bit when started but I don't think is something you can do anything about. As you know, the game usually lags. By the way, I swear that last time I started the missions some crashed. Maybe some mods entered in conflict with yours. I don't know. I'm happy everything works now. Only the blue skin is an issue, now.
KTM || Distopico 12 Dec, 2024 @ 3:35pm 
@Septimus the blue skin thing happens for the mission "Operation Raubtier" as well.
KTM || Distopico 12 Dec, 2024 @ 3:05pm 
@Septimus in the mission "the Bastion" you should update the mission information. The ones that pop up in the notebook in the loading screen. Now, there's only written "Army Group North" and below "mission/single/04..." exc. I know that you designed the background of the loading screen as a notebook itself, with all the information. I think that's really cool. But I thought it might have helped you to signal this as well. I don't know if this was intentional or not.
KTM || Distopico 12 Dec, 2024 @ 3:01pm 
@Septimus in the mission "Infiltration" some soldiers don't have a skin. They have a blue silhouette. It happens to the some of the soldiers in the two groups I own at the start of the mission. I don't know what causes this. This happened to me for other mods, as well. Maybe the mod requires an update?
KTM || Distopico 12 Dec, 2024 @ 1:12pm 
@Septimus the Mission "Breach" didn't crash this time. It's working fine. I'll check the others. Maybe I had some mod on while I was playing it last time.

Hi! So, we plaed 2 missions, and have a question.
Dude, if possible, can u use "fog of war" in yr missions 4 optimize it? Cause big maps with 3 lines of enemys eat FPS like beasts
And, in 1st mission USSR have M-45 1942
KTM || Distopico 12 Dec, 2024 @ 12:02am 
@Septimus I'll check it out again and I'll let you know
Septimius  [author] 9 Dec, 2024 @ 2:00pm 
"Kassassin" ->R@gnar<-: ok... tbh... I am a bit lost with your message. But I sense the premise of your message is that you did not have a good experience whilst playing it. For that I apologize. I hope you find something else that is more suited for you. Good luck.
Septimius  [author] 9 Dec, 2024 @ 1:59pm 
@cte: Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it is really a challenge, especially if you are playing alone. I will come back to this campaign soon. Just have to finish next LoB map/mission, check the existing missions of this mod to ensure everything is still fine, then I might try having a go at the 11th mission for this mod. :)
Septimius  [author] 9 Dec, 2024 @ 1:57pm 
@KTM || Letargico Liturgico: Thank you for letting me know, what type of crash are you experiencing? Is it related to memory? Does it crash during start-up load? Because I have loaded and tried the map, and it worked for me. Thanks in advance for more info.
Septimius  [author] 9 Dec, 2024 @ 1:56pm 
@kataplast5: Thank you for the information. I will look into the campaign as a whole once I have the time to find any issues. The issue of "units disappear when loading" only occurs if you use the manual save and then load. This is an issue that I cannot resolve, it is linked to the game and not the missions/maps. Sorry.
"Kassassin" ->R@gnar<- 9 Dec, 2024 @ 6:54am 
Negative, i don't like here games, your created game task absurd 6-7 missions bots more strong come, my place team is shit defence weak, your brain interesting. -_-

Hi Septimius, thank you for your great work. After your update of the Syniavino mission I was able to win it once in normal mode. Actually I was able to retake the heigths 3 times after which I won the game. However a little time later I lost the depot so at the end I got a new message stating that I lost the game. Still trying to find a good clean strategy to win the game, it is very challenging, since I play alone it is difficult to manage all the different locations properly
KTM || Distopico 4 Nov, 2024 @ 11:02am 
Some missions like "the breach" keep crashing. Please update and fix when you got time, I would love to play this
kataplast5 25 Oct, 2024 @ 1:19am 
Don't give up and work on it. I want to play whole campaign but there are still technical issues.
for example: some itoms even units disapear afre reloading.
Septimius  [author] 20 Oct, 2024 @ 5:00am 
@Leutnant Gustav Klaebisch: I guess I appreciate the feedback. I am sorry you did not enjoy the missions and experience I created. Unfortunately you do not leave any constructive feedback of how to improve it so I just hope you find something else that that you enjoy. thx
Septimius  [author] 20 Oct, 2024 @ 4:58am 
@TT_WIZ: Yeah, some missions can be quite demanding. Many of the first missions are amongst my first ever created in the game so I was not so experienced in scripting and such. But I do have these cleanup scripts in later missions.
Leutnant Gustav Klaebisch 10 Oct, 2024 @ 10:00am 
All awful and poorly made missions. C tier missions
TT_WIZ 4 Oct, 2024 @ 3:18am 
Oh man I was so eager to play this mod as is such a great concept, but it performs really poorly and its not down to system spec. (Ryzen 5950x, RTX4090, 32GB RAM).

@septimius, I want to play this so badly, is there anything that you could do to optimise the levels? like not spawning rear units until the player reaches closer to their lines, meaning less units on the field at any given time?

Just a suggestion but I'm no expert or anything, just someone that wants to play you mod. :goht34: :gohtiger:
Septimius  [author] 26 Sep, 2024 @ 11:44am 
Kételyes Erkölcsű Honfitárs: Yes, I am researching a bit for the next battle for AGN after Sinyavino Heights. But busy with life/work and new DLC to come out on 17th of October that will add new assets, so would like to wait to see what it is so I can play around with more things in my next few missions. :)
Septimius  [author] 26 Sep, 2024 @ 11:43am 
@AK SOAP: well, some clean up is required for a general good experience. :D But good for you that you upgrade your RAM too. :)
Septimius  [author] 26 Sep, 2024 @ 11:41am 
@Funi Munke: Well, I suppose it can happen due to other mods interfering with it, but only one way to test it is by removing all mods. Because my latest playtest showed that it worked fine.
Kételyes Erkölcsű Honfitárs 22 Sep, 2024 @ 4:34am 
will you add more missions? No new missions sience May. What happened?
AK SOAP 17 Sep, 2024 @ 10:09pm 
am upgarde my ram too 128 GB i hate missions where bodies disapear and every author who does it MOD EVERYTHING STAYS IS RENDERED OBSOLETE
AK SOAP 17 Sep, 2024 @ 10:07pm 
NO
AK SOAP 17 Sep, 2024 @ 10:06pm 
no dont touch those bodys this is one of my favorite mods
Lone Trooper 5 Sep, 2024 @ 2:47pm 
@septimius there was no Use icon when I clicked the use button or when I moved the move cursor over the detonators in the mission. Could having other mods installed mess this up?
AK SOAP 5 Sep, 2024 @ 1:33am 
i love this mod please dont alter everything stays mod
Septimius  [author] 3 Sep, 2024 @ 9:03am 
@Shane1012: yes... I upgraded to 16gb RAM due to this game... some of my missions can be memory intensive unfortunately. I am trying to keep it in mind but I don't always notice that it might be an issue on PC's with lower RAM, due to my own hardware setup. But I try to put in scripts to clean up dead bodies on my newer missions.
Septimius  [author] 3 Sep, 2024 @ 9:02am 
@martycz69: I would appreciate some specificity as to what requires an update? Thanks.
Septimius  [author] 3 Sep, 2024 @ 9:01am 
@Funi Munke: That is strange... it worked for me last time I tried. I will try again then. Your infantry have to "use" the detonators, meaning: Selecting a unit and then right clicking on the detenator itself. Not just have them close/next to the detenator. (sorry if you did this and still didn't work).
Shane1012 3 Sep, 2024 @ 12:14am 
biggest problem I see with this mod so far is the memory usage is wayyyyy to high. I think this is mainly caused by the fact bodies don't disappear, like ever. after about 500 dead bodies occupy the map, it starts to really chug badly.
martycz69 1 Aug, 2024 @ 11:30am 
update pls
Lone Trooper 23 Jul, 2024 @ 11:41pm 
Trying to do THE NEVA POCKET mission but when I get to the detonator part and send infantry to them all nothing happens?
Septimius  [author] 23 Jul, 2024 @ 3:10pm 
@Shaking: Yeah, the game is an memory intensive game. I had to add so much more memory to not have that crash anymore. And the blue soldiers thing... I am not sure. I have not had it during testing. Could it be related to any mods that you might have on at the same time?
Septimius  [author] 23 Jul, 2024 @ 3:09pm 
@CTE: Thanks for the constructive feedback. I will revisit this map/mission after my next Liberty or Death mission that is soon coming. I will make a more fairer start (with more equipment and men) and adjust it according to the difficult level one chooses, and general re-balancing. I will also fix so that the Engineer truck works. Thanks. :)
cte 12 Jul, 2024 @ 9:46am 
Hi Septimius, noticed that in the 10th map the engineer truck is not coming. That might be a useful strategy to quickly lay a lot of mines wothout spending too much on single miner soldiers.
shaking 12 Jul, 2024 @ 12:41am 
Hi. Great missions but game keeps crashing (allocated memory) and there are blue soldiers on the German side.
cte 30 Jun, 2024 @ 3:20pm 
Hi Septimius, I've been playing the last mission, the Sinyavino battle. The concept is nice and the mission is fun to play, but I feel it is way too unbalanced on the Soviet side, much more than the previous missions. Soviet waves are coming at a fast pace, and they have everything, light and heavy tanks, AT and artillery guns, heavy mortar, elite infantry, planes, katiushas and paratroopers. You have to defend distant locations with a handful of men, scarce supplies and no heavy weapons to start with, so the pace at which you can reinforce these locations is very slow. The choice would be to concentrate the troops to defend two locations, the hill and the depot, and try counter attack later, but even these two locations are impossible to defend with the paucity of resources. One could try to concentrate everything on the depot, but then the rate at which one gets point is too slow and one is equally overwhelmed
Septimius  [author] 29 May, 2024 @ 2:00am 
@kataplast5: That bug you are describing has been occurring for a long time. It has been highlighted to me before, unfortunately I am not able to do anything about it as it is caused by the game itself and not my missions. So only advise I can offer is to ensure you play each mission from start to finish. :) Sorry that I could not help more.
kataplast5 25 May, 2024 @ 9:51am 
Septimius: any updates soon? There is a bug, tank crews outside vechicle disapear after game load up.
