After the latest patch, most of the time the multiplayer game is desynced..
things that happened is different on each player, but the chat box is okay..

@ Vowel

Me and a friend of mine just tried a game with the UA mod installed. We've got the latest patch installed, and this is what happens when we started the game. We've both got the same version, and we've downloaded the lastest patch from you guys.

Hi Foxxy, can you let me know what build your running, and also what multiplayer options you are using in UA? Are there any start options that either of you are using? (right click on your steam game title, click on properties, and click on "Set Launch Options".

[Foxxy Renamon]

I'm not using any start options atm. The only setting i might of used in the past was a resolution 1920 setting. The game build is DOW Engine 1:3:433. The UA Build version is (1.73) 1.73.4 Build 433.

>>Foxxy> I tried your UA game options, but on UA 1.73.3, and didn't encounter any issues. One thing that I did notice in your screenshot is that the top left number (Requisition Points I think) shows a value of 1%. When I started my game with your Game options, I started with 10000 Requisition Points. Did you or your friend use any hotkeys during your game, or can you check your friends startup options? Can you and your friend post your warnings.log so I can take a look? There's a good chance that if you and your friend take a screenshot at about the same time, the values in your screenshots will look different. Could you please post screenshots for both you and your friend?

[Foxxy Renamon]

It shows 1% because I was playing Necrons. they don't use Req, they only use Energy. The 1% thing you saw was the build speed multiplier. I'm pretty sure we didn't use any hotkeys, the game crashed like that instantly right after the loading screen. The only things we did were setup the lobby, choose teams, and start the game. Right as we got in, when the game first started, we got the "Synch Error" message at the top, and we could not control any of our units.

On every regular multiplayer match with Soulstorm I keep getting Out-Of-Sync errors at a random game time of roughly 5:00-15:00, so it is kind of a gamble for every match. I'm running Steam and Soulstorm on a Mac OS X 10.7 System with Wine and tried several setups with Cross-Over, WineBottler but I keep getting the error. The game runs completely smooth with no other errors whatsoever. As is does not happen at the same time and does not appear to be connected to a special event (special unit built, point capped, etc.) I guess it's not just related to my setup. Any ideas on how to solve this?

WOW!! You play games on mac? @.@

[76561198005507972]

I kind of need my mac for my illustration and layouting work for several scientific books I do besides studying and the whole Adobe stuff and several other programs I work with just run smoother on a mac. Another thing is, I can run OpenFOAM, which I need for my studies and possibly my PhD, natively on mac without needing a Linux partition, which is damn handy. I switch places quite often, so I am kinda limited to a laptop but still don't want to miss the opportunity to play some games at the evening ;). And if you really want, you can manage to get a lot of stuff running on a mac without too much trouble :P.
I used to be a top player in Dawn of War back from Dark Crusade onwards and my former clan-mates started to play some games again, so I really want to join in, but that De-Sync makes it hard :/.

Hi everyone, I've been able to isolate the "Sync Error" issue with the mods by testing with Ultimate Apocalypse. I've found that players need to be running the SAME version of the mod. If players are using different mod versions like 1.73.3 vs 1.73.4, then they will encounter a Sync Error. We have a fixed internal build that adds another layer to check a players mod version so that multiplayer games are played between users of the same mod. Short-Term fix is to make sure players are using the same version Mods that you are when playing multiplayer. Should have a build update tomorrow, or latest Monday.

[IronReaper95]

Same problem, but got it fixed
