Shwart!! sync error

Postby Shwart!! » Sun Oct 26, 2008 6:37 am

Okay, 4p game, I (host) sync errored partway through.
Mine:sync error
NiceGuyScott:sync error
Elderdork:sync error
Also had 'Elderdork' ingame, plus 'Niceguyscott' and one other whom I dont remember. They should be posting here soon.
Map was 'The Last Stand', Assault. Me and Elderdork were attacking.

I'll analyze the sync logs I have.
EDIT: Well, after analysis, I will say that I have no idea what's wrong. There are numerous differences. However, I have no idea what they're caused by; this probably comes from inexperience in examining sync logs.

Hmm. Assault.

Did any of you use an Airstrike as it happened?

And where there any ants near by to said Air Strike?

Ants seems to be indeed different,

Shwart!! did you put an ant nest in a bunch of darwinians?

Shwart!! could you post your preferences.txt file.

Yes, actually, I did... about 1-2 minutes before desync.
It was on the front point of the leftmost island: attack island 2 for the attacker starting on an island himself.

EDIT: Snipped, this prefs.txt was from the wrong computer (doh!).


I don't see how any of these would affect it...

Because the front vector is different for the ants, and the front vector is related to the position on the landscape, and thus could perhaps be related to details levels.

Ah.
Well, I actually gave you the wrong prefs.txt- that's the one Elderdork was using.

But to the best of my knowledge, mine was effectively identical (i.e. all detail settings on high).
