Diverged game

from Sins Forums

My son and I were playing a medium size map against two AIs.

 

About 7 hours into the game, we realized that we both were holding the same two planets.  Really.  Two different games were showing two different results.  His Novaliths were firing on my planets on my computer, while on his computer they were fully powered and not firing at all.

 

We check to make sure we were connected, it showed my ping and his.

 

We reloaded, and it still picked up showing inaccurate information.

 

I looked and didn't see this bug listed.

 

Another bug is that on one planetary assault, all of my units except my strikecraft just sat in the gravity well, unless I told them to attack a specific unit.  After killing that unit, they would return to outside of the gravity well unless I told them go attack another target.  Strikecraft were fighting consistently though.

That's called a desync. Here's an old post explaining what they are.

From the Devs for this beta.

For Multiplayer Desyncs:

If you're playing a multiplayer game and desync, make sure that:

  1. That nobody is using a mod - or - that everyone is using the same mod and version.
  2. That you can reproduce the issue from your last save game or autosave.

If you can reproduce the desync, please see this thread for how to help us track down the issue: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/415093. Please include as much detail as you can on what appears to be causing the issue or when it occurs. If the desync is caused only with a mod, we recommend you contact the mod author.

Oh, definitely not a mod, straight vanilla. 

 

Reading that thread now, we can send the save game files from the two diff computers.  Very reproducable from them.
