Sync Errors

[Gethsemane]

As of 5pm GMT every game i try and play ends up with every player dropping due to sync errors, on quiting the game im dropped to desktop and your bug report awaits me for the game .exe

more server fiddling i take it?

anybody else suffering alot of sync errors?

Are you making sure that you can see all players in the game setup before you start up? If two players aren't synced up yet in the setup screen (i.e. if they see a blank area where the player name usually is) you'll get sync errors.

Moving to tech support.

How far into the game does the sync error occur?

[Mac_Bug]

i think there might be problems with the game where given certain inputs clients might not always behave the same way, thus leading to sync errors, which would be different from anything network related.

How do I avoid these errors though? Is it just the server lagging in sending me the info?

all the players are confirmed and have rdy up. the sync errors occur as soon as everyone enters the game more or less.

It can happen when game data is not transmitted, or the data that's transmitted is incorrect or different.

If one of the data files is corrupted, patched incorrectly, or data goes missing and a frame is missed in game, then it could go out of sync.

data goes missing and a frame is missed in game

So down to the flakey servers then ;)

I am having the same issues. Everyone in the game can see everyone before the game starts. It happens any where from 15 min to an hour ingame.

This is new. Since the patch. Nothing else has changed.

Zain, make sure you're sending the errors into Relic so they can look at them.

Post your warnings.log file after such an error. It'd be a good idea for you to reinstall your game.
