Multiplayer de-sync bug

[ejuan]

Having issues after 60+ hours of game time on my friends server where buildings and logs either can’t be placed or when placed become invisible to certain players, it’s pretty game breaking as some of us can no longer build or place anything without the game not allowing us to pick up remove place or break these items

Would any of you and your friends be willing to try some things to help debug this? Getting player log files from both the client experiencing the issue, and the host will help us see where the problem is, but we need some additional debug information that the normal logs don't provide.

If you are willing to do a couple steps to set up logging, and send us the player.log file afterwards, here are the instructions:

Both Host and client have to do these steps
1. Open your steam library, right click Sons, select properties, and in the 'general' tab add "--logging" without quotes to the Launch Options field.
2. Locate the config file for the game: To find your config files; paste the following into the windows file explorer: %localappdata%\..\LocalLow\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest
3. Open the Text file in that folder named 'SonsGameSettings.cfg' and paste the following into it (Click the space right after any '},' press enter, and paste)
{
"Name": "RuntimeStructureDbLogVersionChanges",
"BoolValue": true
},
4. Both host and client load the save, and both players stand idle after loading in. Wait several minutes to see if the structures ever load in.
5. After waiting a while you can close the game, and send the player.log files, as well as saves from both host and client to [e-mail]

For now I solved the problem by replacing the "construction" file in the multiplayer with an old one that I had saved.

After some time I noticed the problem reoccurring when I started dismantling a structure. So I reloaded construction file again and for now it hasn't presented me with the problem anymore.

There might be some bug with some trunk in current structure.

If I have time and if the problem recurs I'll try to send you the logs.

This has been a problem since day 1 & they don't seem to care about fixing it. Wish I could refund this piece of sh*t game.

I am having this problem too, but I am afraid to replace the construction file since I am not the host and don’t want the host to lose his progress. Does swapping that file cost you your construction progress?

I am also having this issue

if you replace the "construction" file all manual constructions with logs will be restored.
Of course keep a backup of your world saved.

In fact now every day I make a manual backup of my save. So if the problem occurs, I just replace the construction file and at most I lose some construction progress.

Same problem here. Since the last update no sync between host and client. Client gets updated data only when reconnecting to the host.

I'm getting this now weirdly. Does the dev still need logs from a player and host?

[Shelby]

I sent mine and my host's logs in, but we have not heard back yet. ;/

[ItzNotMe™]

is this for real still a problem??!! Ive tried everything even deactivated all antivirus and firewall on my host computer but the sync is broken as ♥♥♥♥?!!!

resurrecting a very old thread?
Ive run into the issue though, Ive fixed by using my axe to destroy it then it works fine after that.
