Darkest Hour: Europe 44-45

v8.2.4 Change Log Here are the v8.2.4 changes! Noville gets an Advance version, changes to server self-optimization system, Patron vote rewards are now scaled to the number of players, and other minor changes. See details below! Levels

• Added Noville Advance

Patrons

• Changed vote weight rewards to be more balanced based on the servers population

Quality of Life

• The server self-optimization system now:
  • Self-optimization system is now mandatory and cannot be disabled
  • Persistent poor server performance will result in permanently higher respawn times until the end of the level
  • Critically poor server performance will force a map vote
  • Players will be notified of poor server performance more aggressively

Rally Points The Rally Point is a powerful tool for squads, and we still want it to be. The last changes critically weakened its effectiveness in urban combat encounters, in that just 2 enemies within a 50 meter radius could destroy the rally point. The following changes should make rally points slightly less susceptible to destruction due to small numbers of enemies within a 50 meter radius.

• Increased minimum encroachment enemy count from 2 to 3
• Increased encroachment penalty block threshold from 10 to 15
• Increased encroachment penalty forgiveness per second from 2 to 5

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where players who voted before the round ended would not appear to have their score-based voting power into account.

Other

• The message shown to players who are session banned due to team-killing now more accurately reflects that nature and duration of the administrative action (players could be confused into believing they were permanently banned).
