sync error - explained - blitzkrieg turret / airstrike bug

[MikeTheWookiee]

Had sync error. logfile to follow once I remember my hosting's password Ahhhhh, haven't used that one in years!

Here's my logfile

It was on the Dedwinia Test server, can't recall the map name, game was blitzkrieg between xander and myself. Seemed to happen shortly after I called in an airstrike against a gunturret, if that's any help.

edited - thread name so it shows up better / more obviously in searches. Also, thanks xander for the explanation

This particular sync error was caused by a well known bug, hence I did not see any reason to report it. :\

ah. Not so well-known to me

edit:
What bug is this? I tried searching, but got only as far as a single post mentioning a "turret-airstrike bug", although can most likely work out what it is / does by myself. Is this something covered in the beta forum (which I can't access)?

[xander]

Yes, it is covered in the beta forum. I thought that it had made the troubleshooting forums, as well. Basically, on many of the blitz maps, the player who controls the center flag is supposed to be given airstrikes, rather than turrets, as reinforcements. However, the two clients do not give the same reinforcements. Thus, when someone tries to place an airstrike or turret, the game syncs out.

Well explained, Xadner.

You are an idiot, and have contributed absolutely nothing to this topic. Your post is not worth the electrons that were killed in bringing it to me, or any other person that might read it. That is all.
