Out of sync

posted on May 23rd, 2009, 9:27 pm

Hello,

Sadly, since the new patch, there were an awful lot of out of sync errors, always after some seconds, by playing over game-spy.
Today we tried with different hosts, different races, over 10 times, depressingly without success.
It seems, at the moment, to be impossible to play real games with four players or more .

This has to be patched again

regards
NX

It seems to work qiute fine with 2 players, qiute fine  because only in the first game you'll get an oos. After that its oke.... But with more than 2 its really a problem....

  The oos seems to be random, last night i played with two other players with no problems. Also 1 vs 1 no problems. In a game with 4 players the game went oos, two times a row. Races involved, 3 feds, 1 dominon, then 3 feds and klingons i think. After those attempts, i hosted the game with no problems, though one player quit after a couple of minutes. Also, when the game goes oos, right at the start of the game, it playes that sound when a player quits or is eliminated.

yes but we got less OOS via Hamachi, maybe pure accident...

yea, the sound is actually a new 'feature', so we don't miss it when we are testing the game for OOS

i tend to find OOS comes a lot online when someone has a really crap ping...

the oos imo has to do with hte optimized load time.
Something is loading queerly or incompletely for network games and gaemspy. that aspect should be checked by the mods too.

oos atm is a big pain to the extent that MP is dying as more and more ppl stop coming on due to the frsutration with oos.

we may need a 3.06a if we are to work in MP
