    I don't know where you got this from. I have never crashed in homeland, nor have i seen a commander crash (or at least not due to the map)

    Vehicletraining? D; WHY

    The crashing happens on larger player servers. We can test though, if some devs want to attend a few games of it on a full server. Maybe with the improved server usage and net transmissions, it won't crash people in 2.25. Either way, at the very earliest, the release after 2.25.

    RC9 had 2 front lines. It was effectively a giant circle.

    I don't like vehicle training either but I can see it being offical for the same reason money is.

    Convoys were the bomb.

    I remember playing NF, with a light at the rear, then a med, then an APC, then another med, then a light, and we drove around the city in formation spewing out troops and kicking some fucking ass.

    emp_king was a pretty good map when I played it those two times. It has a lot of polished compared to a lot of maps we're playing now. I agree with trickster that the necessity for a full server is the reason why it's never played. Injecting it into the userbase would do wonders.

    Fix alt district first or don't add it! Look at my ping.

    It is completely unplayable for me and some others.

    And that's on a server where I normally get 25 fps and 80 ping. It's the map fault and I remember a similar issue with an older version of district during testing a long time ago but I cannot remember the fix.

    I'm not sure why you're ping is so high (fps doesn't affect ping, right?), but maybe it needs some hardcore visibility optimization. You could probably raise the fps up a bit with some interesting hint and areaportal placement.

    When the older district had the issue I remember me and I think bumgravy having the problem while testing on one of dizzyones servers. I remember a wierd fix was to type in snd_restart but I think on this version that didn't work.

    Maybe solokiller or someone who has done previous work on district knows the problem.
