Can be used to detecting load. Scope with disabled serialization is discontinued after load, even if there's endless loop inside.
_loaded = [] spawn { disableSerialization; waitUntil { false }; }; waitUntil { scriptDone _loaded; }; hint "Game was loaded!";Works for all possible load types - loading user save, loading autosave and resuming mission from main menu. Use with caution, as it handles two threads in memory, having impact at overall scripting time. - Posted on 23 October, 2013

If you do not store UI elements (Display, Control) in variables, you do not need disableSerialization; UI elements are usually returned by scripting commands such as findDisplay or passed as params in UI event handler scripts (displayAddEventHandler, ctrlAddEventHandler).
This code will require disableSerialization:
disableSerialization; _display = findDisplay 123; _ctrl = _display displayCtrl -1; _ctrl ctrlSetText "LOL";This code will not:findDisplay 123 displayCtrl -1 ctrlSetText "LOL"; - Posted on July 25, 2017 - 18:15 (UTC)

In Arma 3 1.72.142223, a scripted FSM does somehow not work with disableSerialization. As a workaround, store a display inside an array.
Example:
_d = [findDisplay idd];
