SYNC ISSUES ON MULTIPLAYER

[austin.streyle]

My friend and I started a new multiplayer game. Worked great the first time we connected and we played for a couple of hours. Now when we try to get back into the game we run into issues. I can start the game and he can find it on the server and join. My game shows the syncing data line and then that goes away. His game just stays on the loading screen that says synchronizing data with other players... It never loads up for him. What can be causing this?

The problem might be is , you have to many mods in server, or vehicles,

when you start a new server , everything is ok, until you start getting heaps of equipment etc.. in the server, its going to take a few mins for your friend to join.

unless if you could get better internet and a very very good pc specs, maybe it wouldn't take long to join.

I've noticed occasionally, even on a modless server, syncing can take up to 30 minutes(yes, we've waited that long before restrarting the server). There are a number of factors at play here, so go have lunch while waiting on the sync and see if it ends up connecting.

if your sync takes more the 30 sec (no not minutes) there is a problem.
most likely mod problem or really poor connection but after 1 minute you should start to think there is something wrong and restart/reconnect
30 minutes....................damn

We didn't have much choice. It's a public server that's usually full at 16 players. Saves occur about every 6 hours or so. We'd rather not lose 5 hours of work, ya know?

i have run and rented servers for FS15 and FS17 and had never ever had sync times longer then one minute.

It's a rare occassion. Usually, it's less than a second of sync, averaging around 15-25 seconds.
