LAN Lag

Hey guys and girls.

I was playing a Sins: Diplomacy game using LAN with somebody (I was hosting), and after about 30mins we found that my friend had fallen futher and futher behind in gameplay. Say if I had 10 planets at 1hrs of play then my friend would still be in the time space of when I had 3 planets in 10mins of play. Even when I saved the game and we both rejoined the problem would be the same- in some cases worse.

Anybody got any ideas?

 

Leave a post if you don't understand and I try to rephrase it....

 

Thanks.

That sounds like a desync, that is you and your friends game was no longer the same, rather than lag. Lag is just a slow frame rate, but by itself you should both be in the same game.

So any ideas on how to re-sync?

Thank you for replying.

Nothing. No impact on the events that I was in, no black holes eating time and space as we know it.
We tried sending messages to each other across time and nothing came through.
